Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in domestic manufacturing reducing dependency on imports.
- Policy changes impacting trade tariffs and import regulations.
- Fluctuations in demand due to shifts in the automotive and aerospace industries toward alternative materials or designs.
- Global market conditions influencing glass production and supply chain dynamics.
