Shipments of primary flat glass are forecast to grow at a 7.0 percent annual pace to over two billion square meters in 2011, leading to a further widening of the nation’s trade surplus in these products. Industry output gains will be spurred by healthy building construction activity and investment by foreign manufacturers in Chinese factories.

Primary flat glass includes float glass and sheet glass. Float glass accounts for the dominant share of this category when measured in square meters, representing 86 percent of all sales in 2006. Float glass will continue to expand its market share into the foreseeable future. Production of sheet glass has declined since the 1990s and will continue to be restrained by the Chinese government’s efforts to shut down old, inefficient and low-quality sheet glass furnaces. In addition, sheet glass CHART VII-1 demand will also be limited by an increasing requirement for higher quality fabricated glass products such as insulating and tempered glassFLAT GLASS MARKET SHARE IN CHINA BY COMPANY, 2006 for windows and furniture as income levels rise and by competition from (¥58.5 billion) materials such as plastic. 4.6% Fuy ao 50 Copyright 2007 The Freedonia Group, Inc.
