The installation of glass for automobile windows, doors, roofs, backlights, vents, and windshields to reduce the overall vehicle weight have significantly influenced the global automotive glass industry. Increasing application scope of flat glass in various types such as tempered, insulated, and laminated, for automotive safety should promote product demand, in turn favoring the growth of flat glass market share.

Presence of major automobile manufactures in Europe with growing emphasis on the use of energy efficient and environmentally viable technologies have also uplifted the growth of regional flat glass market.

According to 2016 production statistics, Germany recorded a total commercial vehicle sale of 315,754 and total car sale of 5,746,808 units. This goes to prove that, the rising number of automotive sales in the region is likely to fuel flat glass market share. Owing to the soaring regional automotive industry, Germany flat glass market size is likely to record a CAGR of 4.5% over 2017-2024.

The deployment of flat glass is not prominent solely in the Europe automotive industry, but across almost all the global geographies. Powered by the rising demand for safety owing to higher mortality rates on account of accidents and surging demand for this product to reduce automobile weight in accordance with regulatory mandates, flat glass market size from automotive applications is slated to surpass 16.20 million tons by 2024.

The growing construction sector to have an impact on flat glass market share

Flat glass finds extensive application in the construction sector in replacing the conventional bricks, stone, and wood architecture. Growth in the commercial and residential projects along with shifting preferences toward natural insulation, safety & security will quite substantially boost the demand for flat glass products, especially across Europe and APAC.

In effect, it can be professed that the rising construction activities across the globe will serve as a key growth contributor toward the overall flat glass market share. In addition, industry analysts reveal that the recyclable and eco-friendly nature of flat glass products will further catalyze the market growth.

As per estimates, flat glass market size from interior construction applications may record a CAGR of more than 6.5% through 2024. This growth can be attributed to the fact that flat glass is replacing traditional interior materials in the construction of staircases, bedrooms, floors, and more.

Eco-friendly trend to drive the industry outlook

A significant trend proliferating flat glass industry growth lately, is the introduction of green buildings, which constitutes environment friendly and sustainable construction materials. Additionally, intrusion of nanotechnology in manufacturing of hybrid guide plate and solar control glazing glass will further influence the flat glass industry landscape over the coming years.

It is prudent to mention that despite having a highly profitable roadmap in the years ahead, flat glass market share might suffer due to the fluctuating prices of the raw materials used in flat glass manufacturing. The instable prices of soda ash, silica sand and other glass raw materials will have a marginal impact on flat glass market revenue. However, to address the soaring demand from the glass industry, regions such as China, Europe, and North America are emphasizing on bulk production of these raw materials.

Driven by the robust demand form the construction and automotive industry, in tandem with new product developments, flat glass market is touted to traverse alongside a highly profitable growth path over 2017-2024.
