Market for flat glass has always been driven by the demand for building glass and automotive glass, which in turn depend on economic growth. Both automotive and construction sector have been impacted by the current global economic recession. Real estate market is particularly going through a tough phase and is expected to remain sluggish for the remaining quarters of this year.
However, new applications for glass would contribute to market growth. For example, innovation in vehicle glazing and architectural application could add to market growth. Vehicle producers are targeting glass manufacturers who can help them to produce vehicles with apparent differentiation.
The global market for flat glass is dominated by Europe, China and North America. These three regions account for more than two-thirds of global market demand. Emerging markets, like India, with extremely low per capita consumption of glass present a potential growth opportunity.
The world’s top four companies are NSG Group, AGC, Saint-Gobain and Guardian Industries. In terms of geographic reach, NSG Group and AGC lead the rest. For automotive glazing, there are three major players – NSG/Pilkington, Asahi and Saint-Gobain.
