Market Overview:
The global ultra-clear 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 ultra-clear glass in various applications such as photovoltaic, furniture, architecture, and others. Additionally, the growing construction industry is also fueling the demand for ultra-clear glass in Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa regions. However, fluctuating raw material prices may hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
Ultra-clear glass is a type of optical glass that has a very low refractive index. This makes it ideal for use in optical devices such as lenses and prisms.
Rolled Glass:
Ultra-Clear Glass Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Application (Transportation, Building & Construction), By Region (North America, Europe), And Segment Forecasts, 2019 - 2025 -> The global rolled glass market size was valued at USD 59.8 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% from 2019 to 2025.
Float Glass:
float glass is manufactured using soda ash, limestone, and potash. It has a higher content of silica than standard (amber) glass. This makes the float glass clearer and more colorless. The ultra-clear type of float glass has almost no iron or other metal contents in it at all; it is very pure and clear with almost no color at all coming from the light source. It can be used for making windows, skylights, etc.
Application Insights:
Ultra-clear glass is used in a variety of applications including photovoltaic, furniture, architecture and others. Photovoltaic was the largest application segment with a revenue share of over 40% in 2017. It is an ultra-efficient solar panel which comprises single-layer or multi-layer cells and it is used for both residential as well as commercial purposes. The product has numerous advantages over conventional products such as safety glass owing to its low thermal conductivity; this makes it suitable for use in buildings housing sensitive equipment such as power plants or high voltage switches.
The product enhances the aesthetic appeal of building facades by providing an opaque layer between interior decorative elements and the exterior environment thereby enhancing visual impact on account of its iridescent colors that change depending upon viewing angle & lighting conditions (Hassan et al., 2016).
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2017 and accounted for a revenue share of over 40%. The region is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. This can be attributed to increasing product demand from key application sectors, such as construction, automotive, and others.
The presence of major glass manufacturers in countries like India and China is anticipated to further boost industry growth. In addition, favorable government policies regarding investments in renewable energy infrastructure are projected to drive PV system installations around the world; which will result in increased demand for ultra-clear glass across this sector.
North America emerged as the second-largest consumer due to high architectural clearances throughout various cities within this region coupled with stringent building codes pertaining toward structural safety of buildings against wind loads or snow loads (depending upon climatic conditions). These factors are expected fuel product demand across North America during the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the architectural and construction industry for ultra-clear glass to enhance the aesthetics of buildings and structures.
- Rising demand from the automotive industry for ultra-clear glass in windshields, side windows, and rear windows to improve visibility and safety.
- Growing use of ultra-clear glass in solar energy applications due to its high light transmission properties.
- Increasing adoption of ultra-clear glass by electronics manufacturers for use in displays, touch screens, and other components.
- Proliferation of smart cities with advanced infrastructure that require high quality transparent surfaces for various applications such as monitoring traffic flow or public security
