The challenging 2020 is over, but many hurdles remain in 2021. January data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics registered 140,000 nonfarm payroll jobs lost in December. Construction added 51,000 jobs in the same month, but remains 226,000 below its February level.

Top Glass Fabricators reported major impacts from the pandemic, both financial and operational. Only a little over a quarter of respondents from leading companies reported higher sales in 2020, and many companies noted issues with ensuring workforce safety while also keeping up with demand, all while dealing with the uncertainty of project delays.

The Top Glass Fabricators report provides an important look at the state of glass fabrication in North America, identifying sales trends, market demands and headwinds the segment is facing.
