Glass Tableware Global Market Report 2025

The glass tableware market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.85 billion in 2024 to $12.55 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing consumer preference for durable and stylish tableware, increasing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable materials, growth in the number of lifestyle and home decor magazines, increasing number of trade shows and exhibitions, and growth in the number of restaurants and cafes.

The glass tableware market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.05 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing hospitality industry, growing urban population, increasing demand for premium tableware, rising sale of tableware, and rising popularity of home entertaining and casual dining. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, eco-friendly materials, minimalist designs, smart glassware, and luxury packaging.

The forecast of 6.3% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through retail price increases, as tariffs on lead crystal and specialty glassware from the Czech Republic and Poland affect restaurant and hospitality suppliers. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growth of the hospitality sector is projected to drive the expansion of the glass tableware market. The hospitality sector encompasses various service industry fields, including lodging, food and beverage, recreation, travel, and tourism. This sector is experiencing growth due to increasing global travel, expanding business activities, a focus on personalized experiences, technological advancements, and the rise of the sharing economy. Glass tableware is highly valued in the hospitality industry for its visual appeal, versatility, durability, and ease of maintenance, which enhance dining experiences. For example, in June 2023, Unilever plc, a UK-based company specializing in nutrition, hygiene, and personal care products, reported that the global hospitality sector was valued at $4.7 trillion in 2023, with a projected growth rate of 23.8% over the next four years. Thus, the rise in the hospitality sector is fueling the growth of the glass tableware market.

Leading companies in the glass tableware market are concentrating on innovative product development, such as embossed tableware, to expand design options and cater to evolving consumer preferences. Embossed tableware features raised or recessed patterns on its surface, created through techniques such as molding or etching, resulting in a textured, three-dimensional effect. For instance, in January 2024, Moomin Characters Oy Ltd, a Finland-based online marketplace, introduced its inaugural glass tableware collection. This collection features intricate designs inspired by the popular Moomin characters, with whimsical patterns and vibrant colors that add a playful and nostalgic element to dining experiences. The glassware is made from high-quality, durable materials, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and longevity.

In January 2021, International Cookware SAS, a France-based manufacturer of cooking ware, acquired Duralex for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance International Cookware's product offerings with high-quality, durable items, addressing a broader range of consumer needs in both household and commercial markets. Duralex, based in France, specializes in the production of glass tableware.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the metals and minerals sector, disrupting supply chains for automakers, appliance manufacturers, and infrastructure projects. With reduced competition from imports, domestic mills have increased prices, yet capacity limitations hinder their ability to fully meet demand. At the same time, mining companies are facing challenges from retaliatory tariffs on key mineral exports, especially lithium and rare earth elements. In response, industry participants are ramping up investments in scrap metal recycling, seeking tariff exemptions, and forming joint ventures with international producers to ensure a more reliable supply chain.
