According to the author of this article, the glass container industry's key indicators in N American have generally remained stable between 2017-2018, with continued opportunities for growth in 2019 in the spirits, food and craft beverages markets. Changing consumer habits and market trends have left the beer market relatively flat and competitive packaging remains a challenge given an increasingly on-the-go culture.

Requiring no plastic or chemical liner, glass containers continue to be seen as the best for taste and superior for creating premium and specialty experiences.
