Float glass is produced by a continuous process of melting and floating raw materials on a bed of molten metal. The process of making float glass involves heating a mixture of silica sand, soda ash, dolomite, and limestone to a certain temperature. The molten glass is then poured onto a bath of molten tin, where it spreads out and forms a smooth, even surface. As it cools, the glass is annealed to relieve internal stresses, resulting in a strong and durable product. Float glass has many advantages over other types of glass. It is extremely flat and uniform, making it ideal for use in applications such as windows, mirrors, and display screens. It is also highly transparent, allowing for maximum light transmission, and can be produced in a wide range of thicknesses and sizes. Float glass is a versatile and high-quality type of glass that is widely used in modern architecture, automotive industry, and other applications that require a durable, uniform, and transparent material.

The significant expansion in the construction industry, which is using float glass in various applications, such as windows, doors, partitions, and facades, represents one of the key factors driving the market growth across the globe. This is primarily attributed to rapid urbanization, rising population, and increasing disposable incomes. In line with this, the increasing product demand from the automotive industry is contributing to the growth of the market. This is supported by the increasing use of float glass in the automotive industry for manufacturing windshields, side windows, and rear windows. In addition to this, advancements in the float glass manufacturing process is acting as another major growth-inducing factor. The market is also driven by the rising demand for solar panels, increasing awareness regarding energy efficiency, and the growing need to reduce carbon emissions.
