Perfumery Glass Bottle Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Form (Translucent, Transparent, and Opaque), Capacity (0-50 ml, 50-150 ml, and >150 ml), and Regional Forecast, 2020-2032

The global perfumery glass bottle market size was USD 1,556.2 million in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 2227.44 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.25% during the forecast period (2020-2032).

The packaging of any product is considered as one of the major factors for building trust, which influences the customers to buy the product. Perfume bottles play a crucial role in crafting a brand image and are also one of the challenging jobs for manufacturers to design unique bottles. Glass is the major preferred material for perfume bottles as it involves the properties that may preserve the fragrance stored inside and can make the content visible. It has been observed that around 75% of the consumers’ decisions regarding buying the product are based on the packaging material.

Changing lifestyles of the population across the globe has helped to surge the demand for the perfume industry. The increasing standard of living, coupled with the rising disposable income and a desire towards better personality are some of the prime factors responsible for the growing demand for beauty cosmetic and perfume products. Therefore, the rising preferences for various brands of perfume are simultaneously expected to grow and raise the perfumery glass bottle market revenue.

Declining Demand for Perfumes during COVID-19 to Hamper Growth

The demand for luxury items decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily due to the declining economic conditions worldwide. Therefore, the demand for perfume products also showcased a decreasing trend in the first half of 2020 that simultaneously affected the perfume packaging products market. For instance, as per the Q2 2020 report of Gerresheimer, the company was hit negatively in the second quarter of 2020 by about 8 million Euros in its business of cosmetics that includes perfumery bottles.

Packaging manufacturers also had to face challenges such as reduced production capacity due to labor shortage and shelter-in-place restrictions. Moreover, these players also faced challenges such as obstacles in raw material supply and delivering the finished glass bottles to perfume manufacturers. This was attributed to closures of city borders in the majority of the cities, as well as restrictions on import and export activities. However, loosening-up the lockdown rules, as well as a gradual improvement in the global economic conditions, are likely to have a positive impact on the perfume glass bottle market in the near future.

LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Online Buying Behavior to Fuel Market Expansion

The trend of online shopping is increasing at a tremendous rate. That would allow the consumers to buy perfumes through company websites easily, which, in turn, is expected to drive the demand for the product. For instance, as per the ‘Statistical Report on Internet Development in China’ published in 2019 by China Internet Network Information Centre, about 74.8% of China’s total netizen population are online shoppers as of June 2019. The drastic increase in the number of online shopping customers can be attributed to the growing penetration of the internet as well as the rising number of smartphone users.

Besides, various advertisements and marketing strategies adopted by key players are attracting customers. The ongoing efforts of manufacturers for the development of stylish and decent perfume glass bottles to attract customers, as well as the increasing buying power are fostering the global perfumery glass bottle market growth.

DRIVING FACTORS

High Demand for Luxurious and Premium Packaging to Aid Growth

The premium packaging of a product is enhancing consumers' satisfaction and is increasing the chances of purchasing and recommending it to others. Major players such as Verescence, Vidraria Anchieta, Continental Bottle, Gerresheimer, and others are focusing on expanding their product lines by introducing different luxury and stylish glass bottles for perfumes. This, in turn, is expected to increase the demand for perfumery glass bottles and propel the market growth during the forecast period of 2020–2027. Perfume packaging is one of the crucial elements in the cosmetic industry and has gained significant traction from the last few years.

Several manufacturers are focusing on innovation and customization of perfume glass bottles conferring to customers’ requirements. This tends to increase the sales of perfume bottles, thereby boosting the growth of the market. For instance, Gerresheimer AG offers a huge portfolio of innovative glass bottles for perfumes, which includes standard shapes and customized bottles depending upon the requirements. Therefore, the rising consumer spending on branded and luxurious packaging products is anticipated to drive the global perfume glass bottles market during the forecast period.

Rising Penetration of Perfumes in Developing Countries to Boost Growth

The emerging economies such as India, China, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and others are creating a favorable demand for perfume bottles. India is considered to be one of the fastest-growing countries in the consumption of perfumes owing to the increasing middle-class population, rising income levels, and changing lifestyles, which are likely to drive the growth of the perfume packaging market.

Globalization and urbanization have significantly influenced the buying behavior of cosmetic products. The development of consumer-oriented societies further enhances the demand for consumer goods, thus giving rise to the growth of the market. The increasing use of beauty and cosmetic products by most of the working class population increases the demand for perfumes, which, in turn, is projected to drive the demand for perfumery glass bottles.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Availability of Alternative Packaging Materials to Limit Product Demand

Lightweight plastic bottles are widely available in the marketplace. Moreover, plastic materials are not prone to breakage, as well as are available at a lower cost, as compared to that of glass. These factors driving the industry are expected to limit the perfume glass bottle market growth. Similarly, the shifting consumer preference towards antiperspirants and deodorants packaged in metal containers poses a challenge to perfume products packaged in glass bottles, which, in turn, is likely to restrain the product demand.
