To capitalize on the new trend of using transparent packaging for food products, numerous firms, particularly dairy product manufacturers, have increased the demand for transparent glass containers. Nevertheless, the market’s growth is being hampered by stiff competition from many alternative packaging materials such as plastic and aluminum. However, stringent regulation for controlling plastic products and the rising cost of aluminum is anticipated to revive the market in the coming days.
