Demand for Tecnoglass's primary products tends to be cyclical, influenced by residential and commercial construction activity, and the company has strategically diversified its operations to mitigate the impact of economic downcycles. Tecnoglass has experienced strong demand, particularly in Florida and the southeastern U.S., and has a robust backlog and is increasing its production capacity to meet this growing demand. The need for impact-resistant glass in hurricane-prone regions and energy-efficient glass in areas with significant temperature fluctuations also drives demand.
