When it comes to glass products, many cross-border sellers first think of "fragile, heavy, and difficult to clear customs." But precisely because of its particularity, every step, from packaging to customs clearance to the choice of logistics solutions, cannot be sloppy. Especially facing Israel, the core market in the Middle East, how long does it take to ship glass? Is the timeliness reliable? Can the transportation plan be implemented? These are the most practical issues that sellers are most concerned about.
Israel's demand for glass products is rising
As an important consumer country in the Middle East, Israel has seen a growing demand for imports of architectural glass, home glass, and container glass products in recent years. According to a report released by Mordor Intelligence, it is expected that by 2025, the size of Israel's container glass market will reach 203,890 tons, and will grow to more than 240,000 tons by 2030, with an annual compound growth rate of about 3.3%.
In terms of architectural glass, the global architectural glass market has reached US$127.3 billion and is expected to grow to nearly US$200 billion in 2032. Israel's domestic construction industry continues to prosper, driving the import of glass panels, energy-saving windows, smart glass and other products. According to Volza data, from 2023 to 2024, the amount of glass raw materials imported by Israel from Russia, the United States and other countries increased by more than 58%, and the market activity is self-evident.
The challenges faced by fragile goods shipments cannot be ignored
Glass is a typical "highly sensitive category". If you are not careful, it will cause problems such as shattering, breakage, and customs clearance delays. Especially when it is sent to countries such as Israel that have high requirements for product compliance, it involves SII certification, commercial customs clearance and other links. If the operation is improper, it is very easy for the goods to be stuck or returned. Therefore, it is very important to choose a professional, safe and experienced logistics route.
