The high demand from beverage marketers for distinctive packaging related to “premium” products is favourable for glass packaging manufacturers. Much of this demand is coming from makers of beer, gourmet sodas and New Age products. The beer sector is the most important, and at the moment accounts for around 48% of the current total glass container volume, or around 700 million cases, according to Joe Cattaneo of the Glass Packaging Institute. Food sales account for around 25% of glass volume.
