Research on Glass Additives Market 2015 and Analysis to 2025

Market Overview

Glass is one of the most common containing material used in various industries, and advancements in the use of glass have provided considerable impetus on the importance of glass additives. The transparency of basic glass materials has led to the need for colouring them for the purpose of classification, which has influenced the demand for various glass additives. The rising need for coloured opaque glass that is thick, durable and has higher reactive stability will endure the demand for quality glass additive materials. The use of metal additives to improve the conductivity of glass vessels has also resulted a surge in demand for glass additives from healthcare, pharmaceuticals and chemicals industries. Moreover, technological developments such as using inorganic compound called lanthanum oxide as an additive that boosts strength and enhances refractive index of glass materials have incited the demand in the global market for glass additives.
