China's hollow glass sector can develop further, according to the vice-president and secretary-general of the China National Association of the Glass Industry. But, as he explains in this article, future investment will be centred on re-developing existing plants. According to government statistics, output of hollow glass grew 14% between 2005-2006 to 9.95m/tonnes.
