Market Overview:
The global low-iron glass market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for low-iron glass in photovoltaic applications, furniture, and architecture. Low-iron glasses are also used in other applications such as automotive and medical devices. However, the high cost of low-iron glasses is restraining the growth of this market. North America dominates the global low-iron glass market followed by Europe and Asia Pacific.
Product Definition:
Low-iron glass is a type of glass that has less iron oxide (Fe2O3) than other types of glass. This makes the glass less green in color and more clear. Low-iron glass is used for windows, skylights, and other architectural features where a clear view is desired.
Rolled Glass:
Glass is a widely used material for packaging and consumer goods. It can be categorized into two types, namely basic or flat glass, and rolled glass. The market for rolled glass is expected to grow at a faster rate than that of basic glass owing to the unique properties it offers in terms of strength and lightweight.
Float Glass:
float glass and low-iron glass market, both are types of flat glass used in the manufacturing of windows, doors, etc. The primary difference between the two is that float glass has a larger thickness than low-iron.
Application Insights:
The photovoltaic application segment led the global low-iron glass market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The growing demand for solar energy owing to rising awareness regarding environmental protection and government initiatives such as ¢â‚¬Å“Feed-in Tariffs¢â‚¬ is expected to drive product demand in this application segment over the coming years.
In addition, favorable government policies for promoting renewable energy are anticipated to augment the growth of solar power generation, thereby driving product consumption in PV applications globally. In addition, stringent regulations on reducing greenhouse emissions are likely to promote fuel cell vehicles which will further propel product demand worldwide by 2030.
The furniture industry utilizes glass products with low iron content that ensure high safety standards along with enhanced aesthetics properties required by modern furniture designs.
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 glass manufacturers in countries, such as India and China, has led to an increase in production capacity. This trend is projected to continue over the next eight years, thereby driving demand for low-iron glass across this region.
The construction industry in Europe witnessed a significant growth from 2014 to 2016 owing to increasing investments by various governments across European Union countries. Moreover, rising demand for photovoltaic systems coupled with growing awareness regarding energy conservation will drive industry growth over the coming years.
North America accounted for a major share of revenue generated by exports worldwide on account of high product utilization rates along with technological advancements observed within this region pertaining towards manufacturing processes involved within architectural projects; particularly buildings constructed using steel frame technology or concrete structure framework system (CSFS).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for low-iron glass from the architectural and automotive industries as a result of its superior optical properties.
- Growing popularity of green buildings, which use low-iron glass to improve natural lighting and reduce energy consumption.
- Rising demand for solar panels, as low-iron glass is used to make photovoltaic cells more efficient by reducing light reflection.
- Increasing use of LCD displays in consumer electronics, as low-iron glasses offer sharper images and improved contrast ratios over traditional soda lime glasses.
