Key Growth Drivers

The rising installation of solar panels across the globe is expected to propel the growth of the Global Flat Glass Market. The growing expenditure on the construction industry is further expected to accelerate the growth of the market.
Growth in construction and infrastructure development is directly related to the demand for flat glass, which tends to drive market growth. Recent trends show that the architecture of buildings is changing rapidly, such as the use of flat glass in facades and roofs to optimize natural light. Construction of eco-friendly green buildings, which aid in minimizing carbon emissions into the environment, is also driving the flat glass market growth.
An increase in the cost of raw materials is a major challenge faced by the Flat Glass Market.
The prices of sand, soda ash, and limestone, which are the main raw materials used in the production of glass, have been rising in recent years. This has put pressure on glass manufacturers to increase their prices which in turn affects the end-user industries.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, most of the manufacturing plants were closed and automotive production got severely affected. Supply chains around the world had been disrupted. Economic instability prompted both public and private sector developers to pause their projects, which led to the decline of the construction industry. However, in the medium term, increasing demand for electronic displays, and increasing demand for home appliances such as TVs, smartphones, tablets, laptops, wearables, and other devices boosted the growth of the Flat Glass Market.

Key Trends by Market Segment

By Product Type: The insulated segment dominated the Global Flat Glass Market by product type in 2021 and is expected to continue being the dominant segment during the forecast period.

Insulated flat glass is expected to grow as a result of rising demand from residential and non-residential establishments.
