(Us) Container Glass Market Looks Flat For 1995

Although many in the consumer glass market could point to strong growth areas in 1994, most believe that the market in 1995 will show little, if any, change. The reason seems to be that while certain segments of container glass are indeed showing steady growth, the all-too-frequent move by bottlers from glass to plastic has consistantly offset any major gains the container glass field has experienced. In addition, the price of raw materials in 1995 is expected to increase, creating an inflationary situation within the industry.
