Market Overview:
The global low iron clear glass market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for low iron clear glass in photovoltaic, furniture, and architecture applications. Low iron content in glass helps in transmitting more sunlight and results in improved efficiency of solar cells. Additionally, rising disposable income and growing urbanization are also propelling the demand for furniture and architectural products that use low iron clear glass. However, volatility in raw material prices may restrain the market growth during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
Low Iron Clear Glass is a type of glass that has a low level of iron oxide. This type of glass is important because it has less color than other types of glass, making it ideal for use in windows and other applications where clarity is important.
Rolled Glass:
Glass is a widely used material in the construction and packaging industries. It can be categorized into two types: flat glass and container glass. The global demand for rolled glass is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% from 2016 to 2024, owing to its increasing usage in the construction industry as it possesses properties such as durability, strength, recyclability & aesthetic appeal along with being lightweight & cost-efficient.
Float Glass:
Float glass is manufactured by floatation or the incorporation of materials other than soda ash. It can be used as a substitute for low iron clear glass in applications where high transparency and optical clarity are required. The major advantage of using float over regular glass is that it has less iron content, which makes it suitable to be used in places such as windows, skylights, greenhouse roofs and facades with plants or crops inside.
Application Insights:
The photovoltaic application segment led the global low iron clear glass market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The rising demand for solar energy has resulted in an increased focus on renewable energy generation, which, in turn, has driven manufacturers to increase their production capacity for photovoltaic cells or panels.
The product is widely used for manufacturing both front and rear sheeting of solar modules as it provides high strength with lower weight compared to standard grades of glass. It also offers better heat resistance than normal glasses when installed under the module assembly during its fabrication process from raw materials such as silica sand and soda ash slag at a furnace facility near the end-use location.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The presence of key manufacturers such as Nippon, Shandong, Tianjin and others has led to high production capacity in this region. China is a major consumer of iron clear glass owing to rapid industrialization along with growing construction activities.
North America emerged as the second-largest regional market for low iron clear glass in 2017 on account of rising demand from end-use industries such as photovoltaic, furniture and others. In North America, U.S., Mexico are anticipated to be lucrative markets for LICSG manufacturers due to increasing investments by foreign players coupled with favorable government policies regarding solar energy generation systems installation in residential buildings (residential houses).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the construction and automotive industries for Low Iron Clear Glass products due to their optical clarity and strength.
- Growing popularity of glass as a building material, especially in green/sustainable construction projects.
- Rising disposable income levels in developing countries, which is resulting in an increase in consumer demand for luxury goods such as Low Iron Clear Glass products.
- Technological advancements that are making it possible to produce thinner and lighter Low Iron Clear Glass products, which is expanding the market's potential applications base.
