Safety glass market in Denmark

Earlier Report Observations

The market for safety glass in Denmark, measured in value, exhibited considerable volatility from 2018 to 2024. Starting at 55.6 million US dollars in 2018, the market contracted to 47.9 million the following year before recovering to 53.1 million in 2020. A pronounced surge then carried the market to its peak of 65.5 million US dollars in 2021.

Domestic production more than doubled from 8.4 million US dollars in 2018 to 20.3 million in 2021, providing a strong foundation for market growth during those years. However, this expansion was subsequently offset by a powerful rise in export activity. Exports grew steadily from 41.4 million in 2020 to 70.8 million by 2024, while imports remained volatile and production eased slightly to 18.3 million.

Consequently, the rapid growth in exports after 2021 fundamentally reshaped the market. The increasing outflow of goods exceeded the combined value of domestic output and imports, leading to a sustained decline in the domestic market size, which fell to 39.9 million US dollars in 2024.
