Global Flat Glass Market to Reach US$ 175.0 Billion by 2032, Impelled by Increasing Product Demand in Automotive Applications

February 14, 2023 | Retail

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Flat Glass Market Report by Technology (Float Glass, Sheet Glass, Rolled Glass), Product Type (Basic Float Glass, Toughened Glass, Coated Glass, Laminated Glass, Insulated, Extra Clear Glass, and Others), Raw Material (Sand, Soda Ash, Recycled Glass, Dolomite, Limestone, and Others), End Use (Safety and Security, Solar Control, and Others), Type (Fabricated, Non-Fabricated), End Use Industry (Construction, Automotive, Solar Energy, Electronics, and Others), and Region 2024-2032," the global flat glass market size reached US$ 114.1 Billion in 2023. A flat glass or plate glass is a type of glass, initially manufactured in plane form, which is widely used for windows, doors, transparent walls, and windscreens. It is sometimes bent after producing the plane sheet for modern architectural and automotive applications. It has a higher magnesium oxide and sodium oxide content than container glass and lower silica, calcium oxide, and aluminum oxide content. There are various processes used for producing flat glass which mostly involves melting sand and other materials into a liquid, spreading the liquid (molten) glass to the desired thickness, and cooling it into the final product. It is extensively used to manufacture windows, doors, automotive glass, mirrors, and solar panels.


Global Flat Glass Market Trends:

The global market is majorly driven by the increasing number of solar energy installations. In line with this, the rising penetration of glass architecture in residential and non-residential constructions is positively influencing the market. Furthermore, the growing environmental concerns, reductions in the costs of solar installations, the depletion of renewable resources, stringent government regulations, and the increasing electricity demand are catalyzing solar capacities to increase, which, in turn, is accelerating the market growth. Apart from this, the escalating demand for flat glass products in the automotive aftermarket is propelling the market. Besides, inflating disposable incomes of the masses, coupled with the shifting inclination toward aesthetically appealing interiors, are augmenting the demand for luxury construction, which is benefiting the market. Additionally, the increasing demand for electric vehicles is favoring the product uptake in automotive applications. On account of the factors above, the market is anticipated to reach a value of US$ 175.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.7% during 2024-2032.
