The main types of flat glass are basic float glass, toughened glass, coated glass, laminated glass, extra clear glass, and other products. The basic float glass is a sheet of glass formed by floating molten glass on a bed of molten metal, usually tin, but other low-melting-point alloys have been employed in the past. The various technologies include float, rolled, and sheet and are employed in various end-users such as construction and infrastructure, automotive and transportation, solar energy, and others. The global flat glass market is segmented - 1) By Product: Basic Float Glass, Toughened Glass, Coated Glass, Laminated Glass, Extra Clear Glass, Other Products 2) By Technology: Float, Rolled, Sheet 3) By End-Use Industry: Construction and Infrastructure, Automotive and Transportation, Solar Energy, Other End-Use Industries The global flat glass market size grew from $127.49 billion in 2022 to $134.29 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of the flat glass market is expected to grow to $166.04 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 5.4%. The rising number of solar energy installations is expected to propel the growth of the flat glass market going forward. Solar energy refers to the energy that comes from the sun and which is converted into thermal or electrical energy. Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source. Flat glass is an essential element that is used in solar units, which helps in converting solar energy into electricity. For instance, according to the Indian Brand Equity Foundation, an India-based government agency, in December 2021, the Indian government allocated a budget of $2.57 billion to boost the manufacturing of high-efficiency solar plants. In addition, for the year 2021, India produced 49.3 GW (gigawatts) of renewable solar energy. Therefore, the rising number of solar energy installations is driving the growth of the flat glass market.
