Glass bottles and containers are majorly used in the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage industry, due to their ability to maintain chemical inertness, sterility, and non-permeability. Alcoholic drinks, like beer, accounted for the largest segment of the market, as glass does not react with the chemicals present in drinks and, therefore, preserves the aroma, strength, and flavor of these beverages, making it a favorable option for packaging. Due to this reason, a majority of the beer volume is transported in glass bottles, and this trend is expected to continue over the study period. Glass packaging is 100% recyclable, which makes it a desirable packaging option from the environmental point of view. 6 tons of recycled glass directly save 6 tons of resources and reduce the emission of CO2 by 1 ton. One of the main factors driving the growth of the market is the increase in beer consumption worldwide. Beer is one of the alcoholic beverages that use glass bottles for packaging. It is packed in dark-colored glass bottles to preserve the contents, which are prone to spoilage when exposed to UV light. according to the U.S. Beer Institute Annual Report, 2018, the US beer industry sells more than USD 119.3 billion in beer and malt-based beverages to US consumers each year. Additionally, according to the NBWA Industry Affairs, 2019, the US consumers who are 21 years and older consumed 26.5 gallons of beer and cider per person, during 2018, based upon beer shipment data and the US Census population statistics. Such instances are indicative of the fact that the glass bottles and containers market is poised to grow over the forecast period.

The environmental dilemma caused by reaching high levels of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere is one of the major drivers for the market studied. Also, the dumping of non-degradable waste in landfills and oceans is harming the environment. Additionally, the fluctuation in oil prices and the change of laws in the usage of petroleum-based plastics have helped accelerate the demand for these biodegradable compounds. Major challenges, such as climate change, energy security, food security, rising human population, and global economic meltdowns, have increased the need for sustainable economic growth that may not have a negative impact on the environment. In this regards, one of the major issues faced by the world remains the replacement of toxic releasing and non-biodegradable polymer.  In order to curb land and air pollution caused due to non-biodegradable plastics, governments across the world have come up with numerous regulations and policies regarding the use of conventional synthetic polymers. Further, they have been promoting the use of eco-friendly and biodegradable materials for the production of polymers.  These polymers are derived from starch, making it a perfect biodegradable replacement for petroleum or fuel-based polymers. Biopolymers are non-toxic and are easier to recycle. Hence, they take less time to break down, which helps in the protection of the environment.

Fibers are a source of reinforcement in engineering polymer composites, responsible for strength and stiffness. As in composites, stress is transferred from fiber to polymer and vice versa, and high mechanical properties are only acquired if appropriate compatibility exists between the matrix and reinforcement. The aviation industry generates around 2-3% of all human-induced Co2 emissions and 12% of the emissions of the transportation industry. The higher consumption of fuel in the aircraft leads to larger emissions of greenhouse gases and contributes to global warming. Moreover, the higher level of fuel consumption leads to higher cost, thus, increasing the operational cost of airlines. The aerospace industry is constantly focusing on producing fuel-efficient, lighter, yet stronger materials. Thus, the industry has shifted from using aluminum, steel, and titanium to composites. Currently, the use of composites has reduced around 50% of the structural weight of the aircraft, thus, increasing the fuel efficiency to around 20% and reducing the noise by around 5%, as well as decreasing the maintenance cost by around 30%.
