유리 제조 시장 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석, 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Glass Manufacturing Market reached USD 290.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2025 to 2034., driven by increasing demand across various industries. The rising preference for glass as a sustainable and versatile material fuels market growth, particularly in packaging, construction, and high-tech applications. As industries shift towards eco-friendly alternatives, glass manufacturing is gaining momentum due to its recyclability, energy efficiency, and superior durability.

Technological advancements are reshaping the industry, with innovations such as smart glass and low-emissivity coatings becoming integral to modern applications. Smart glass, used in automotive and architectural sectors, enhances energy efficiency by regulating light transmission. Low-emissivity glass reduces heat loss, making it a preferred choice for energy-efficient buildings. Increasing investments in research and development are paving the way for high-performance glass solutions tailored to evolving consumer and industry demands. Companies are actively adopting advanced production techniques to enhance quality, durability, and design flexibility.

The market is segmented by product type into flat glass, container glass, fiberglass, and specialty glass. Specialty glass holds a substantial market share, accounting for 43.7%, due to its superior strength, heat resistance, and precision engineering. This type of glass plays a crucial role in industries requiring specialized coatings and optical characteristics. Sectors such as healthcare, electronics, and aerospace rely on specialty glass for its exceptional durability and performance in extreme conditions. Manufacturers are focusing on advanced techniques to improve strength, chemical resistance, and clarity, catering to the stringent requirements of high-end applications.

In terms of end-use sectors, the glass manufacturing market is driven by demand from packaging, construction, automotive, telecommunications, and electronics industries. Packaging alone represents 37% of the market, as glass remains a preferred material for preserving product integrity and ensuring consumer safety. Its non-reactive nature and superior barrier properties make it an ideal choice for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical packaging. With growing consumer awareness regarding sustainability, glass packaging is gaining traction as an eco-friendly alternative to plastic. Leading manufacturers are introducing lightweight glass containers to enhance convenience while maintaining strength and durability.

The US glass manufacturing industry generated USD 22.9 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 34.9 billion by 2034. Companies are collaborating with regulatory bodies to enhance energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and comply with stringent environmental standards. Advanced glass materials are widely utilized in high-value sectors such as consumer electronics, vehicle components, and energy-efficient building solutions. The ongoing transition towards sustainable and technologically advanced glass products positions the industry for robust growth in the coming years.
