This section covers the major market trends shaping the North America Package Testing Market according to our research experts:
Glass Segment Observing Gradual Growth
- With increasing applications of glass in the packaging industry due to various reasons such as low reactivity with the product, reusability and recyclability are growing and leading to an increase in packaging testing vendors as the glass used for packaging has to undergo various performance tests, such as capacity and headspace, coating assessment, impact resistance, external pressure resistance, thermal shock resistance, and vertical load resistance.
- These tests determine the product's suitability against relevant international, national, industrial, or in-house standards and specifications. They include tests for impact, thermal shock, internal pressure, vertical load, microwave, dishwasher, and other requirements.
- The increasing benefits of package testing throughout the product lifecycle are also driving the region's glass packaging testing market.
- Brands have long sought ways to enhance their products' shelf appeal, an area where glass is particularly well suited and is also experiencing popularity among consumers. In June 2020, Supernatural, the extrasensory home care brand focused on having the smallest carbon footprint in the industry, launched hand sanitizer in a glass bottle. The glass protects the product from toxicity when exposed to heat, unlike plastic, and also eliminates the single-use plastic waste caused by traditional hand sanitizers.
