About glass manufacturing services

cpc code 88531 covers the industry of glass manufacturing services, which plays a crucial role in the broader economy. Glass is a versatile material used in a wide range of applications, from construction and automotive to consumer goods and electronics. This industry is responsible for transforming raw materials into high-quality glass products that are essential for many industries and end-users.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the glass manufacturing industry involve melting and shaping glass. This typically starts with the mixing and melting of raw materials such as sand, soda ash, and limestone in a furnace. The molten glass is then formed into the desired shape using various methods, such as blowing, pressing, or drawing. Specialized techniques may be employed for specific glass products, such as tempering or laminating for safety glass.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the glass manufacturing industry include raw materials like 25231 Silica sand, 25232 Limestone, and 25233 Soda ash. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery, such as furnaces, molds, and cutting tools. Energy sources, such as natural gas or electricity, are also essential for the melting and shaping processes.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the glass manufacturing industry are a diverse range of glass products, including 32511 Flat glass, 32512 Hollow glass, and 32519 Other glass products. These glass products are then consumed by various industries, such as 23 Construction, 33 Manufacturing, and 44-45 Retail trade.
