Breaking Records: Global Material Prices Surge past Historical Thresholds Amid Raw Material Strain 

June 23, 2026
Latest company news about Breaking Records: Global Material Prices Surge past Historical Thresholds Amid Raw Material Strain 

According to latest global supply chain tracking by TrendForce, the financial reality of the raw material squeeze has manifested in unprecedented custom data. The average import price for copper-clad laminates (CCL)—which heavily rely on glass fiber reinforcement layers—shattered history by surging over 74.5% year-over-year, clearing the $20,000 per ton milestone for the first time since record-keeping began in 2000.

This historic price escalation reflects a broader, structural imbalance at the very base of the materials market. High-tier specifications like Low-CTE T-Glass are under severe allocation programs by key monopolies like Nittobo, and the major market suppliers are operating with near-zero days of ready-to-ship stock. The intense capital being poured into securing glass-based materials is driving up pricing baselines across the entire fiberglass web.

As the raw material market enters this high-cost era driven by foundational tech re-engineering, industrial users of fiberglass cloths should carefully prepare for ongoing price increases and restructure their upcoming procurement budgets.
