"The market for container glass has been on a stable level for two years with slight growth tendencies,” said an EUWID respondent who needed several long years to adjust supply to demand. This was an arduous process explained another EUWID respondent, but finally glass packaging was once again holding its own in all areas – albeit at low levels.
At the beginning of 2014 suppliers of glass packaging neither reported shortages nor excess supply, which was also set to be reflected in terms of market prices in the 2014 business year.
