Market Overview:

The United States flat glass market is expected to exhibit moderate growth during 2021-2026. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use industries. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor. 

Also known as sheet or plate glass, flat glass is produced by melting sand, soda ash and silica into a liquid and evenly spreading it to obtain flat sheets of desired thickness. It is flexible despite undergoing thermal and chemical reactions to ensure the toughness of the structure. Consequently, it is extensively used in the manufacturing of windows, doors, mirrors and solar panels in the United States.

Technological advancements, such as the preparation of insulated flat glass using the double-glazing method, has resulted in the improving product standards pertaining to its non-fragile nature. This represents one of the primary factors driving the market in the United States. Moreover, increasing infrastructural developments and renovations of existing buildings are positively influencing the demand for flat glass across the residential, commercial and industrial sectors in the region. Furthermore, the US Government has undertaken numerous initiatives to reduce carbon footprints and substitute harmful construction materials for flat glass, which is contributing to the market growth. Besides this, the rising environmental concerns and the decreasing cost of solar panel installations are anticipated to impel the market growth.
