Flat Glass - Global Market Outlook (2019-2027)
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Flat Glass Market is accounted for $114.87 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $233.96 billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period. Some of the key factors propelling the growth of the market are rapid urbanization, growing construction industry, and technological advancements. However, the lack of logistics is the restraining factor for the growth of the market.
Flat glass is a type of glass which is manufactured in plane form and is generally used for glass doors, windows, etc. This glass has a higher content of sodium oxide and magnesium oxide when compared with container glass. However, it has lower calcium oxide, aluminium oxide, and silica content.
By end-user, the construction & infrastructure segment is expected to grow at a significant market share during the forecast period which can be attributed to the increasing constructional activities taking place around the world. Based on geography, Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold considerable market share during the forecast period due to the growing automotive sector along with the increasing demand for solar installations.
Some of the key players in Flat Glass Market include Saint-Gobain, Asahi Glass, Nippon Sheet Glass (NSG), Taiwan Glass, CSG Holding Co, Guardian Industries, Central Glass, Fuyao Glass Industry Group, Vitro S.A.B. De C.V., Sisecam Group, Schott AG, China Glass Holdings Limited, Emerge Glass India, Scheuten Glass, Cardinal Glass Industries, Trulite Glass & Aluminum Solutions, Euroglas GmbH, Sangalli Group, China Luoyang Float Glass Group Co Ltd, and Xinyi Glass Holdings Limited.
