Trade Chance and Situation of China Glass Industry

Over the years the new construction of around 2 billion square meters was completed in China every year. The automobile industry was growing at a rate of over 20% per year. Both of them push China’s flat glass industry and processing glass segment to be sped up. In 2005, the output of flat glass was up to 387.37 million weight cases (19.37 million tons). Of this number, the float glass was 327.58 million weight cases (16.38 million tons). There are 146 float glass production lines in operation by now. As incomplete statistics, the insulated glass reaches 130 million square meters per year. The safety glass (tempered and laminated glass) is up to 110 million square meters per year. Although China glass industry has made big progress, there is still a large gap between China and advance countries abroad, including too much natural resources consumed, higher energy cost, relatively low technology and equipment level. That will allow foreign exhibitors more opportunities to discover trade or business activities in China sales territory. The China Glass 2007 will do its best to build up an interview environment at the show for exhibitors, end users, traders, agencies and distributors. As well it will be a large communication platform gathering the majority counterpart from all over the world.
