Market Overview:
The global building flat glass market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for flat glass from commercial, residential, and industrial buildings across the globe. In terms of type, ordinary flat glass is expected to hold the largest share of the global building flat glass market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its low cost and easy availability as compared to other types of flat glasses such as float and rolled glasses. In terms of application, commercial buildings are expected to account for a major share of the global building flat glass market during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
Window panes that are made out of flat glass are more common in commercial buildings and homes than those that are made out of curved glass. This is because flat glass is cheaper to produce and install than curved glass. Flat glass also has the advantage of letting in more light than curved glass, making it a better choice for rooms that need a lot of natural light.
Ordinary Flat Glass:
Ordinary flat glass is a general term used for non-tempered and unbreakable type of glass which has wide usage in building & construction sector. It's major application includes windows, doors, shower walls, etc. Growth of global construction industry owing to rapid urbanization and industrialization in emerging economies such as India & China is expected to remain a key factor driving the global market growth over the forecast period.
Float Glass:
Float glass is manufactured by floatation or the process of adding silica (SiO2) into a molten pool of metal such as lead, tin, and zinc. The primary materials used in the manufacturing of float glass are PbO2, SnO2, ZnO2 and Ag O3.
The major application areas for float include architectural windows and display panels for refrigerators & freezers.
Application Insights:
The commercial building segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 60.0% in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing construction activities in commercial buildings on account of growing business activities across industries, especially IT and telecom sectors.
Flat glass units are used in a variety of applications including exterior & interior doors, partitions, storeys, roofing systems & skylights among others. Increasing use of flat glass units as a substitute for other types of window panes such as curtain wall or vertical rolling blinds due to its lightweight property is also expected to propel market growth over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. The regional growth can be attributed to increasing construction activities in China and India on account of rising population coupled with rapid urbanization. In addition, growing industrialization in these countries will drive demand for glass products, thereby supporting market growth.
The European region held a significant share of global revenue in 2017 owing to high consumption levels across major countries such as Germany and U.K., which are characterized by technological advancements and high spending power among consumers. Moreover, stringent regulations regarding energy efficiency are anticipated to boost product demand over the coming years within Europe’s borders as well as other regions that border it (eastern part of Europe).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for flat glass in the construction industry as a result of growth in the global population and rising income levels.
- Technological advancements that have led to the development of new applications for flat glass, such as smart windows and solar panels.
- The increasing use of flat glass in automobiles due to its properties such as weight reduction, transparency, and strength.
- Growing demand from emerging markets due to their high economic growth rates and rising disposable incomes.
