Clear view: Rebound is on the horizon as downstream construction industries improve

Architectural Glass Manufacturing

Clearer view ahead

The market for architectural glass in the United States is mature and moves in line with US residential and commercial construction. The total collapse of the housing market and the subsequent impact on commercial construction curtailed demand. Following modest improvement in 2011, the industry is expected to grow over 2012, in line with economic recovery and gains in US construction spending. Rising demand for energy-efficient architectural glass will help propel the industry forward. Design innovation and new applications for architectural glass will also alleviate competitive pressures and profit will improve.

This industry manufactures flat glass for use in architectural applications. The industry includes glass products that

are used for external walls and internal partitions made in glass making plants, as well as products made from purchased glass. This industry does not produce mirrors, windows or doors made from purchased glass.
