Industry Overview

With the rapid development of Vietnam's construction, infrastructure development, and electronics manufacturing industries, Vietnam's float glass market is experiencing rapid growth.

The continued construction of large-scale commercial complexes, industrial parks, manufacturing plants, and residential projects in Vietnam has made the construction industry the biggest driver of demand for float glass.

As a major global manufacturing and export base for home appliances, Vietnam is experiencing a significant increase in demand for high-precision glass panels, while the expansion of its furniture export industry is further driving up the consumption of raw glass sheets.

As energy-efficient building standards gradually rise, Vietnam's demand for energy-saving, coated, and low-emissivity (Low-E) glass is increasing, making higher-grade float glass a key area for industrial upgrading.

Vietnam's float glass industry is characterized by a pattern of "domestic basic production capacity as the mainstay, supplemented by imported high-end products, and continuous improvement in processing depth." The Vietnamese float glass market is supported by local manufacturers, import traders, and deep-processing enterprises.

With Vietnam's continued economic growth, industrial upgrading, and increasingly internationalized building standards, the float glass industry is expected to maintain steady expansion in the future.

Import Market Overview

The demand for  float glass is growing in Vietnam, but local production capacity is limited, and the country is highly dependent on imports.

According to CRI analysis, Vietnam's float glass import market has shown a steady growth trend in recent years, mainly driven by the rapid development of its domestic construction, automotive, and electronics industries. With the increasing demand for glass in real estate development, commercial buildings, and industrial applications, domestic production capacity is still insufficient to fully meet the demand for high-end and specialty float glass; therefore, Vietnam has a high dependence on imported float glass.

Vietnam's imports of  float glass continue to increase, China is the largest source of imports.

According to CRI statistics, approximately 250 importers in Vietnam imported  float glass in 2024, totaling US$246 million, an increase of 14.7% year-on-year. According to CRI analysis, Vietnam's total imports of  float glass reached US$169 million from January to October 2025.Malaysia,China and Indonesia were Vietnam's top three sources of imported rearview mirrors, accounting for approximately 51.1%, 16.0%, and 11.7% of total imports respectively from January to October 2025.
