In early March, the "World of Glass" exhibition once again became a platform for professional discussions of the industry situation and expectations for the near future. Continuing this discussion, we analyzed the dynamics of sheet glass production, the regional structure of production, and the state of the construction sector. The data obtained show that market development in 2026 will be determined not so much by production volumes as by the continued moderation of demand, primarily from the construction sector. You can also read analytical reviews for 2024 and the first half of 2025.
