Coated Flat Glass Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing demand for coated flat glass from the automotive industry is notably driving the coated flat glass market growth, although factors such as high cost of coated solar control glass may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the coated flat glass industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Coated Flat Glass Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global coated flat glass market growth is the increasing demand for coated flat glass from the automotive industry. The global automotive industry is one of the fastest adopters of coated flat glass as it is widely used in automotive exterior and interior to make vehicles lightweight. Coated flat glass is used to produce lightweight, fuel-efficient, and environment-friendly automobiles as more countries across the world are introducing stringent regulations on vehicle emissions to reduce air pollution. Countries, such as China, Germany, India, France, Italy, South Korea, Japan, and the US, use coated flat glass in both passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Other factors such as the increasing production of vehicles will boost the demand for coated flat glass during the forecast period.
Key Coated Flat Glass Market Trend
Increasing applications in the automotive sector is one of the key coated flat glass market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. The automobile sector has seen a tremendous increase in the demand for energy-saving vehicles in recent years. The key car manufacturers such as BMW, Audi, and Daimler are replacing the normal glass with coated flat glass in their products, which will encourage other manufacturers to follow suit. In addition, the demand for motor vehicles is increasing across the world because of improved living standards. Thus, the automotive sector has become the third-largest end-user in the global coated flat glass market. Hence, such factors are expected to further support the growth of the market in the coming years.
Key Coated Flat Glass Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global coated flat glass market growth is the high cost of coated solar control glass. The manufacturing of coated solar control glass involves the combustion of natural gas, which is used to heat furnaces to melt the raw materials needed to manufacture glass. These furnaces mostly operate on natural gas, which increases the cost of production of coated solar control glass. In addition, coated solar control glass is incorporated with extra coatings to provide resistance to rust, temperature variations, seismic forces, water, and air. In terms of the investment cost, the installation of coated solar control glass generally accounts for 10%-15% of the total construction cost, which is significantly higher than that of other construction processes. This may limit the market growth in the forecast period.
This coated flat glass market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
