The import of non-wired float glass in sheets to South Korea initially experienced significant fluctuations between 2013 and 2016, evidenced by substantial year-on-year and CAGR variations. Starting in 2017, imports settled into a relatively stable pattern with minor year-on-year decreases, followed by a consistent decline from 2019 onwards. By 2023, the import volume stood at 187.36 million kilograms, marking a slight reduction compared to previous years.

Future trends to watch for:

A continued decline in import volume is anticipated, as indicated by an average annual reduction of 0.45% over the next five years.
Monitoring the development of domestic production capabilities, which could further reduce import dependency.
Potential regulatory changes or international trade policies that could impact importing conditions.
Considering shifts in demand from key industries utilizing float glass, which could influence future import needs.
