The global flat glass industry size is projected to reach a value of USD 8.8 Billion by 2032, with the market growing at a standard CAGR of 5.2% from 2022 to 2032. Scaling up from a value of USD 5 Billion in 2021, the target market will reach an estimated USD 5.3 Billion in 2022.
Elevated demand for durable, energy-efficient, and affordable building products is abetting the growth of the flat glass market. A rising shift in consumer preference for glass in interior and exterior building structures for aesthetic value is further supplementing the growth of the target market during the forecast period.
The rapidly advancing construction sector is the prime growth driver of the flat glass market. The increasing spending on infrastructure projects and the development of eco-friendly green buildings, which is expected to help reduce carbon emissions into the environment, is further aiding the growth of the flat glass market.
Owing to the rising demand for renewable energy all over the globe, the market for flat glass will likely observe a rise in its international sales. This is because flat glass is typically used in photovoltaic modules, e-glass constructions, and solar panels.
Hence, the rising demand for renewable energy also pushes the demand for flat glass. This material is increasingly replacing traditional materials like bricks, stone, and wood. In addition, insulated flat glass is transparent and recyclable, which reduces pollution and also increases comfort for building residents.
Another factor that propels the market growth is the booming automobile industry. Tempered glass is increasingly utilized by automotive manufacturers owing to its shatterproof properties, which can help avoid severe injuries and potential life threats in the course of an accident.
Other aspects, like the application of nanotechnology to make lightweight glazing glass and solar control panels, along with growing urbanization and increasing disposable incomes, are fueling the flat glass market during the forecast period.
“A surge in infrastructure spending on the development of green and eco-friendly buildings will supplement the global growth of the flat glass market over the forecast period,” says an FMI analyst.
