Glass Mold Market by Material (Ceramic, Graphite, Metal), Type (Blow Molds, Closed Molds, Open Molds), End-Use - Global Forecast 2024-2030

The Glass Mold Market size was estimated at USD 612.76 million in 2023 and expected to reach USD 639.91 million in 2024, at a CAGR 4.55% to reach USD 836.84 million by 2030.

A glass mold is a specialized container that shapes molten glass into desired forms and sizes. The glass takes the shape of the mold as it cools and solidifies, enabling the production of uniformly shaped glass products in a highly efficient manner. Glass molds can be made from various materials, including cast iron, steel, and graphite, depending on the specific requirements of the glass-forming process and the types of products being manufactured. The escalating need for glass products across various industries, including beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and home decor, propels the demand for glass mold. This surge is underpinned by glass’s aesthetic appeal, recyclability, and non-reactivity, making it a preferred material choice. However, high initial investment costs for sophisticated mold manufacturing machinery and technology pose a significant barrier to entry for new players and can strain the capital resources of established players. Additionally, technological advancements in mold making, such as integrating Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems for precision and efficiency and innovations in mold materials that enhance durability and reduce cycle times, propel the market forward.

Recent Developments




Rena Giesecke & Benjamin Dillenburger Introduced Three-dimensionally (3D) Printed Sand Molds for Custom Glass Parts

Rena Giesecke and Benjamin Dillenburger have pioneered an innovative approach to the digital fabrication of custom glass building components, utilizing 3D-printed sand molds. This cutting-edge research opens up new pathways for the creation of bespoke glass elements, traditionally bound by the constraints of complex manufacturing steps, specialized craftsmanship, or the necessity for CNC-milled steel molds, which are economically viable only for large-scale productions due to their cost and geometric limitations. By investigating an accessible, cost-effective method for glass crafting through 3D-printed molds, the research significantly narrows the gap between standardized mass production and tailor-made glass articulations.


Engel Partners with Startup for Glass Injection Molding

Engel has partnered with Glassomer GmbH to propel the latter's innovative glass injection molding technology. This collaboration enables the production of transparent glass components using standard plastics injection molding machines, leveraging a unique technique that combines silica with a polymer binder to create pellets. These pellets are then molded, followed by a debinding process to eliminate the binder, and concluded with sintering at 1300°C, resulting in transparent, high-density silica glass parts.
