Chinese Float Glass and Laminated Glass Prices Hit Bottom, Seize the Pre-Holiday Procurement Window

As of the end of November 2025, market prices of Chinese glass products such as float glass and Laminated glass are in the low range of the year. Coupled with the low level of international sea freight, the dual benefits have given significant cost advantages to glass procurement from China. With the 2026 New Year's Day and Lunar New Year approaching, the window for factory closures, tight logistics capacity, and rising sea freight is about to open by the end of the year. Placing orders now allows you to lock in low prices and ensure timely delivery, making it the preferred time for global glass buyers!

Core Procurement Advantages:

1. Glass Prices Hit Bottom, Maximizing Cost-Effectiveness

Prices of Chinese-made float glass have dropped significantly compared to the start of the year. Laminated glass prices have also declined noticeably following the downward trend of float glass raw material costs. Both basic specifications for architecture and special-purpose products are in a cost-effective procurement range.

2. Sea Freight Remains Low, Offering Ample Savings

Currently, the international maritime market has sufficient container space, and spot freight rates on major routes are still at a low level, further reducing cross-border procurement costs.

Reminder: Pre-Holiday Procurement Window Is Closing Soon

1. Factories to Suspend Production Soon, Staged Capacity Contraction

The Lunar New Year is a traditional long holiday for China's glass manufactures. Most glass factories will start to suspend production one after another from the end of January 2026, with the holiday lasting 15-20 days. Orders are concentrated before the holiday – to ensure production scheduling and quality, sufficient production time must be reserved. Placing orders now allows you to prioritize locking in production quotas.

2. Countdown to Rising Logistics & Sea Freight Costs

It has become a norm for sea freight rates to rise from the end of the fourth quarter to before the Spring Festival every year. It is expected that after the 2026 New Year's Day, with the release of stocking demand, freight rates will likely continue to climb. Meanwhile, domestic logistics will also face tight capacity and extended delivery times. Placing orders in advance helps avoid logistics congestion.
