Tempered Glass Market Supply Status And Import And Export

Tempered glass market supply status and import and export

Tempered glass comes in many types

Tempered glass is safety glass. Glass has very good wear resistance and is very hard, with a Vickers hardness of 622 to 701. Tempered glass is actually a kind of prestressed glass. In order to improve the strength of the glass, chemical or physical methods are usually used to form compressive stress on the surface of the glass. When the glass is subjected to external forces, it first offsets the surface stress, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity and enhancing the glass’s own resistance. Wind pressure, cold and heat, impact, etc. The classification methods of tempered glass mainly include classification by shape, classification by process and classification by tempering degree:
tempered glass
Classified by shape (flat tempered glass, curved tempered glass, etc.)
Classified by process (physically tempered glass, chemically tempered glass, etc.)
Classified by tempering degree (semi-tempered glass, super-tempered glass, etc.)

Supply-side reforms limit output growth

In recent years, the country has actively promoted the supply-side reform of the glass industry. Tempered glass is a subdivided industry of glass and has also been included in the supply-side reform. In terms of output, according to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics, my country’s tempered glass output showed fluctuating changes from 2014 to 2020. In 2020, my country’s total tempered glass was 533 million square meters, a year-on-year increase of 1.40%.

Judging from the export situation of tempered glass, my country’s tempered glass export scale is much higher than the import scale. From 2015 to 2020, my country’s tempered glass export scale showed a fluctuating growth trend. In 2020, my country exported a total of 2.161 million tons of tempered glass, and the export value reached US$2.22 billion.

Market price growth in 2021 due to low inventory and consumer demand

From 2018 to 2021, taking 8mm tempered glass as an example, its market price has shown a fluctuating growth trend. In the first half of 2019, the mid-range price of 8mm tempered glass fell. The main reason was that manufacturers lowered product prices to reduce inventory. As the relationship between supply and demand eased, the mid-range price of 8mm tempered glass resumed growth in the second half of 2019, and then the price basically remained at 80-90 yuan. In 2021, due to low inventory and the stimulation of the traditional consumption peak season, the price of tempered glass once again showed significant growth According to the trend, as of September 2021, the mid-range price of 8mm tempered glass has increased to 96.42 yuan/square meter.
