While there has been a shift to other packaging media over the years, glass packaging continues to be the preferred packaging choice for certain product categories. The primary application for glass packaging in India is in the alcoholic beverages sector including beer, IMFL, wine and IMIL. Other major applications for glass packaging include pharmaceuticals,foods, fruit based drinks, carbonated soft drinks and cosmetics & perfumery products. Consumer acceptance of glass as a premium packaging medium has helped several product manufacturers to better brand their products. The three large players in the industry include Hindusthan National Glass and Industries Ltd., AGI Glaspac and Piramal Glass. The three manufactures account for about 80% of the total installed capacity, in the country.Adoption of the latest technologies and usage of automated machines in the manufacture of glass containers in the country has grown in the last decade. Adoption of Narrow Neck Press and Blow (NNPB) technology will help Indian manufacturers to deliver light weight glass packaging solutions.
