Global Flat Glass Market Size 2024, Forecast To 2033
11 Mar, 2024
The flat glass market size has seen robust growth, climbing from $37.73 billion in 2023 to $40.26 billion in 2024, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The historic period's growth is attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, increasing industrialization and manufacturing, and growth in solar energy installations. Looking forward, the flat glass market is poised for strong growth, reaching $51.36 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. This growth in the forecast period is driven by global population growth and urbanization, expansion in the construction industry, growing demand for electronic displays, and increased investments. Major trends include a focus on partnerships and collaborations, integration of artificial intelligence in flat glass manufacturing, product innovations, utilization of advanced digital camera systems in glass production, and increased focus on solar glass.
Global Flat Glass Market Key Driver
The increasing number of solar energy installations is anticipated to fuel the growth of the flat glass market moving forward. Solar energy, harnessed from the sun and converted into thermal or electrical energy, stands as a clean and abundant renewable energy source. Flat glass plays a crucial role in solar units, aiding in the conversion of solar energy into electricity. Notably, the Indian government's allocation of a $2.57 billion budget in December 2021 to boost high-efficiency solar plant manufacturing highlights the commitment to solar energy development. Moreover, India produced 49.3 GW of renewable solar energy in 2021. Hence, the rising trend of solar energy installations emerges as a driving force behind the growth of the flat glass market, with market sizes in 2023, 2024, and 2028 shaping its progression.
