The glass sector in Portugal can typically be divided into the sub-sectors of flat glass, container glass and crystal. Despite a worldwide economic recession during the early 90s and recessionary trends in the crystal market during the last decade, total glass production in Portugal has expanded significantly in recent years. In this paper overall trends in the Portuguese glass industry and tendencies in the individual sub-sectors are examined.
