Operational Environment<\/h2><\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=““]Glaston is a frontrunner in glass industry technologies and services, responding globally to the glass processing needs of the architectural, solar, display and automotive industries. Demand for Glaston\u2019s products and services is dependent on demand for glass and glass processors\u2019 capacity. Glaston estimates that in 2025, the Architectural markets in China and EMEA stayed flat at the previous year’s lower level, while they declined in Americas and the rest of\u00a0APAC. The mobility market in China returned to a more normal level after a record year in 2024 and elsewhere stayed flat.<\/p>\n

Use of glass in construction is increasing through urbanization. Special requirements for glass are growing due to changing environmental factors, increasing safety regulations and energy-efficiency demands.<\/p>\n

In the automotive industry, the relative proportion of glass in vehicles is growing and use of thin glass, in particular, is increasing. Growth of solar energy, smart glass and energy-efficient glass is being supported by increasing environmental awareness and investments in renewable energy.<\/p>\n

Glass processed using Glaston\u2019s processing machines is supplied to the architectural glass, mobility glass, and solar energy. Most of the glass produced with the company\u2019s technology is supplied to the architectural glass industry.<\/p>\n

Glaston operates in a global market, and the company\u2019s business is to a large extent linked to trends in global investment demand.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=“subpage container“][vc_column]

Markets<\/h2><\/div>[vc_row_inner el_id=“market“][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=““]In 2025, the architectural glass market was quiet throughout the year, due to the slowdown in the residential and commercial construction glass markets. Owing to the weakened market outlook and ongoing economic uncertainty, customers continued to be cautious about investments.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the electrification of transport, the Chinese vehicle market was relatively active throughout the year. In the rest of the world, market activity was at a low level.<\/p>\n

Glaston has divided its market areas into EMEA, America, and APAC. The EMEA area has traditionally been a strong market for Glaston and in 2025, it generated approximately 45% of Glaston’s net sales. In 2025, Americas‘ share of the company\u2019s total revenue was approximately 31% and APAC\u2019s share 24%.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]
