Iran's glass industry produces household glassware such as glasses, bottles, jars, jugs, ornamental glassware, as well as vast quantities of sheet glass, with most of the country's needs and only a relatively small part still needing to be imported. There are many benefits for the glass industry in iran, such as low labour costs, low cost raw materials which are plentiful, while prices of energy and fossil fuels are also low, enabling glassmakers to keep their prices down. With demand on the increase and an enviable geographical position, Iran is well set to see further growth in its glass industry over the next few years.
