Abstract
The report sets about the supply and demand market of China glass industry;
and expounds the output tendency, regional distribution, industry structure,
product price, import and export etc of China glass industry in recent years.
Also, the report makes pertinent research on glass segmented markets to
architecture, automobile and glass fiber; gives an in-depth analysis of
investment hotspots in super-thin ultra-clear glass, solar cell bonding glass
and other deep-processed glass; and predicts the development trend of glass
products in 2008. Ultimately, the report makes comparisons between key listed
manufacturers with regard to glass output, ex-factory price and financial
performance, etc; and assesses the development of those manfacturers in next
stage.
After its downturn in 2006, China glass industry turned to the better in 2007
and the relationship of supply and demand improved significantly. The
prosperity of glass industry in 2007 continued in the first half of 2008, with
a fast growth rate. Production capacity kept increasing but the competition
became fiercer. The market has grown saturated and the grow rate slows down.
It is still the main pressure of fast growing production capacity on glass
market.
East China, North China and Central South China are the key regions of glass
production; wherein, the top 3 by glass output capacity are Hebei province,
Guangdong province and Jiangsu province. The province of Hebei, ranking the
first by flat glass output in 2007, still sees a rapid growth rate in 2008.
Besides, glass output of Jiangsu province dropped to some extent in recent two
years. In Guangdong province, float glass and high-grade float glass take high
proportions and industry structure is superior to that of the other two
provinces.
Glass price rose slightly in the first quarter of 2008, and then dropped
starting from March. However, the prices of key raw materials still maintained
high and the production cost further increased. This foresees the declining of
this round of prosperity.
