2025 Spirits Glass Bottle Cost Rise: Raw Material Price Surge & Zhonghai Glass’ Capacity Response

Global supply chain pressures have driven significant cost increases for spirits glass bottles in 2025, with core raw materials like soda ash and quartz sand up 18% year-on-year. As a leading Chinese custom wholesale manufacturer, Zhonghai Glass—with a daily production capacity of 800,000 units—addresses this trend through supply chain integration and technological innovation.

Key Drivers of Cost Inflation

1. Energy & Material Costs: Environmental policies and international energy crises have disrupted soda ash supply, while quartz sand export restrictions and soaring natural gas prices now account for 30% of furnace costs.
2. Logistics Pressures: Red Sea shipping crises and anti-dumping tariffs (up to 218.15%) force detoured routes, adding 15-20% to supply chain costs.
