Activity main takeaways
- Unprecedented decline in glass demand in 2023 (Europe -12% and LatAm -5%), led by destocking
- Post-covidsupply chain disruption (supply shortages in 2021/2022) has driven low short-termvisibility in a usually predictable industry
- 2024 gradual recovery in glass demand confirmed but at a slower pace than expected with softer end consumption leading to destocking end point delayed
- Glass demand expected to return to more stable growth as it reconnects with end consumption
