Global flat glass market was valued at USD 71.98 billion in 2014 and is expected to witness growth over the next seven years owing to the increasing demand for insulation from the construction sector. Growing demand for engineered glass in buildings, especially for use in windshields, transparent walls, and windows, is expected to drive the global market over the forecast period.
Global insulating glass demand was 9,883.9 kilo tons in 2014. China has been taking efforts for energy saving, thus creating major investments in manufacturing capabilities as well as raw material supply of the product. However, lack of awareness regarding the benefits of the product particularly in Latin America is likely to restrict its market over the next seven years.

Further
key findings from the study suggest:
·
Flat glass was the second largest product
segment of the glass market accounting for over 30% of the total demand in
2013. Growth of the industry coupled with growing flat glass demand in
buildings & architecture and automotive segments is estimated to have a
positive impact on market growth over the forecast period. The global glass
industry is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 3% from 2014 to 2020
·
Construction dominated the global market accounting
for 81.1% of the global market in terms of demand in 2014. Increasing project
sanctions and construction of green buildings in the U.S., Canada, the UK,
Australia, China, and India are anticipated to drive growth. Growing awareness
towards LEED-certified buildings has been another significant factor
responsible for surge in the demand over the past few years.
·
Demand for tempered product was 20,375.2 kilo
tons in 2014 and is expected to gain share over the forecast period. Increasing
construction activities particularly in developing regions including Africa and
Middle East coupled with enhanced properties of tempered glass is likely to
propel its market over the next seven years.
·
Asia Pacific was the largest consumer with major
demand centered towards China, which accounted for over 60.3% of the global
demand. Increasing demand for solar trackers and PV panels coupled with rising
infrastructure spending is expected to result in an escalated growth of the
product in Asia Pacific over the next few years.
