Glass The global soft drinks packaging market by glass is expected to exceed $7.6 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of more than 2 percent.The demand for glass packaging in the soft drinks market will grow at a sluggish pace during the forecast period compared to other types of packaging solutions. Use of glass in packaging solutions or products is becoming outdat- ed with the emergence of other packaging materials as they are easier to carry, distribute, store, and dis- pose of, as compared to glass. Metal The global soft drinks packaging market by metal will reach $4 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of more than 2 percent. Metal or cans are primarily used for packaging carbonated soft drinks (CSDs) and functional drinks. In Europe, the recycling rate of metal packaging is 75 percent, and the recycling and use of recycled content in cans save up to 90 percent of the energy used for the production of vir- gin materials. However, according to the report, increasing de- mand for rigid and flexible plastic packaging prod- ucts poses a major challenge to the market as consumers prefer low-cost plastic packaging that has similar functions and features compared to metal.
