预计全球平板玻璃市场预计将在2018年至2026年间增长5.0%。影响市场增长的主要因素是建筑,汽车和运输部门的浮动眼镜范围扩大。此外,这些部门也观察到拾取生长。平板玻璃的持续改进和创新为行业创造了巨大的机遇,也导致了各种各样的应用。平板玻璃以我们生命中每天遇到的最大东西。它们可以在窗玻璃,挡风玻璃,外墙,太阳能面板和光伏模块中看到。因此,使其成为内部和外部应用中的应用,例如家具,电子设备,楼梯,墙壁和其他装饰品。平板玻璃提供额外的质量,被认为是独特的财产。他们在某种程度上提供了清晰度,以至于它们有时对另一个人不可见。
The industry leaders in the flat glass market are proactively making efforts to introduce innovation in their products. They are continuously striving to launch low carbon-emission products that will help facilitate greener and a cleaner environment. Moreover, governments across the globe are increasingly promoting and setting targets to drastically cut down their carbon emission levels. The flat glass industry is helping pave ways to almost zero emission building and construction stocks. They exhibit high energy balance properties that make them ideal for application for thermal insulation. Moreover, they are expected to witness higher application with the increasing adoption of electric vehicles, as their growing demand is leading to rising need for photovoltaic cells on solid glass roof surfaces.
Theglobal flat glass marketis segmented based on technology, application, and product type. The technology segment is further segmented into float, rolled, and sheet. Among them, float technology is anticipated to experience the highest growth, owing to its properties such as toughness, and large application for residential and commercial purposes.
基于产品类型,扁平玻璃市场已分散成基本,涂层,额外清晰,层压和增韧。虽然基于应用,该行业被分为汽车,建筑和可再生能源等。目前,由于挡风玻璃上的平板玻璃的应用增加,汽车部门占据了申请部门。然而,预计可再生能源部门将被列入增长最快的申请部门,主要是由于增加了政府举措和采用电动汽车和混合动力车辆的促销活动。
Europe region presently acquires the largest market share, primarily owing to the demand for components from the construction sector. However, Asia Pacific region is expected to become the fastest growing sector in the flat glass market due to the presence of emerging nations such as China and India, among others. Moreover, a latest trend of international vendors shifting their manufacturing base to Asia Pacific region has been observed. This can be primarily due to the availability of cheap unskilled and skilled workers in the region. In addition, it serves a strategic purpose to these vendors, as their largest market lies within the APAC region so, it will become easier for them to transport products and also achieve economies of scale.
Some of the leading industry participants currently operating in the flat glass market include Saint Gobain S.A., Xinyi Automobile Glass (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., SCHOTT North America, Inc., Nippon Sheet Glass Co., Ltd, Asahi Glass Co. Ltd, CSG Architectural Glass Co., Ltd., Corning Inc., Astro Cam, Sangalli Group, Dillmeir Glass Company, PPG Industries, Inc., Cardinal Glass Industries, and Syracuse Glass Company, among others. The industry highly fragmented, due to the presence of a large number of regional, local and international vendors.
