In recent years, Kenya"s construction industry has shown a steady demand for glass, driven by urbanization and infrastructure projects. Analyzing the trade volume and price trends, we observe a nuanced picture of the market"s dynamics. According to recent trade statistics, the import volume of glass into Kenya has increased by 15% annually. Despite the rising import volumes, the average price per ton of imported glass has seen a moderate decline, dropping by approximately 3% over the past year. This price reduction can be attributed to increased competition among suppliers and improved efficiency in the supply chain. Export data, however, paints a different picture. The export volume remains relatively stable, indicating a consistent demand in regional markets. But the price of exported glass has experienced a slight increase of 2%, reflecting higher production costs and a focus on quality improvements.
