In 2017, 35 countries imported Iranian glass products
Iran's Nanotechnology Initiative Council reported that the number of countries importing Iranian glass and mirrors in 2017 has increased to 35. Iran's industrial group-supplier of glasses managed to enter the markets Germany, Italy, Sweden, Croatia, Poland, Greece, Spain, United Arab Emirates, Azerbaijan, South Africa, Tanzania, Brazil, Canada, etc.
Iran has mastered the technology of applying heat-saving and multifunctional coatings, which allows it to compete in the segment of high-quality glass. Iraqi manufacturers of float glass have 15 production sites in the country and abroad, which allows them to deliver to the countries of four continents - Eurasia, Africa, North and South America.
Iranian glass promotes the brands Eco Gold, Eco Bronze, Eco Blue and Eco Silver, which differ in the shades of the coatings.
Iran is developing a lot of activity in the global market for transparent float glass due to lower prices. The key market for Iran is India. The government of India was forced to impose anti-dumping duties on Iranian glass to protect the interests of its producers. The petition for imposing duties was signed by Saint Gobain India, Gold Plus Glass Industry and HNG.
The main trump cards of Iranian producers are the low cost of labour (and hence production) compared to the European one and the convenient geographic location from the point of view of supplies to the countries of Asia and Africa.
About 30% of the produced float glass is exported, as domestic consumption...
