Display Glass Market to Grow 11% in 2025 on Strong Volume, Price Increases

August 4, 2025

An increase in prices in the second half of 2024, combined with strong utilization by panel makers in the first half of 2025, drove the display glass market to its highest value in at least 10 years, according to Counterpoint Research’s Display Glass Report, released last week.

Display Supply Chain Shifts Are Avoiding Trump Tariffs

August 25, 2025

The main justification given by President Trump for implementing tariffs on US imports was the massive US trade deficit in goods.
