In Q1, glass prices in Asia surged due to rising feedstock costs like silicon dioxide and increased demand. Spring festival and higher crude oil prices further boosted prices. However, Q2 saw disruptions from increased production rates and inflation. European glass prices increased in Q1 due to high production costs and inflation, but Q2 suffered from low buyer purchasing power, inventory levels, slow pandemic recovery, and weak downstream demand. North America experienced similar trends, with Q1 price hikes driven by feedstock costs and demand, while Q2 faced supply-demand imbalances, low consumer procurement, and overall price decline.

Definition

Glass is a solid, transparent material composed of amorphous (non-crystalline) silica-based compounds, mainly silicon dioxide. It lacks a defined molecular structure, resulting in its characteristic smooth and transparent appearance. Glass exhibits properties like transparency to visible light, electrical insulation, heat resistance, and chemical inertness. It can be molded into various shapes when heated and solidifies upon cooling. While brittle, it's optically clear, making it suitable for windows, containers, and optical lenses. Glass has versatile applications in construction, packaging, electronics, and optics due to its unique combination of properties.
