Economic Profile and Trends Value of Shipments | Annual Production | Labor Productivity The glass industry continues to compete vigorously in all segments. Products of purchased glass and pressed and blown glass (specialty glass) have been the fastest growing segments, while container glass has struggled with intermaterial competition.
