prospects

the strategic deployment of the group's production bases in China's five major economic regions: the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta, the Bohai rim, the northeast and southwest will be gradually improved. The group will continue to maintain flexible production management and improve operating efficiency to enhance its market competitiveness. The group will also continue to invest more resources and deepen product R & D capabilities to improve product quality, production efficiency and gross profit

as the global car ownership continues to rise, and the steady development of the domestic automotive market drives the sales of supporting automotive glass, the group will focus on expanding the market for automotive replacement glass and original equipment manufacturing. The group will further develop geometric processing methods to allow users to upload individual products by increasing product categories and new customers' needs STL file users, and expand sales network to further expand this business

driven by the Chinese government's active promotion of energy-saving building materials, the government's implementation of affordable housing plans, the promotion of urbanization and the rise in the living standards of domestic people, China's construction industry will continue to develop steadily, bringing huge growth space for the demand for Low-E glass. Therefore, Xinyi Glass continues to focus on the production of energy-saving and high value-added Low-E glass products

it is expected that the domestic float glass market demand and its sales price will continue to fluctuate in the future. However, with the improvement of the float glass market and the increase of the use of energy-saving Low-E coated glass (Low-E), the future demand for float glass will have a positive effect

under the 12th Five Year Plan, the government strongly encourages the use of renewable energy, and the Chinese government plans to invest 35 MW of solar energy facilities from 2013 to 2015. With the increasing demand for solar related products, the popularization of the installation and production of solar energy systems has been promoted. Therefore, the sales of solar photovoltaic glass products of the group is expected to achieve a relatively ideal growth

the group's leading ultra-thin electronic glass production line was put into operation in the third quarter of 2013, and successfully produced 0.55mm thick electronic glass. The group is preparing to build a second ultra-thin electronic glass production line in Wuhu City to meet the growth of market demand. Ultra thin electronic glass products will be a new growth highlight of the group's future business. Zhonghua glass () Department
