Major Driver Impacting Market Growth

Demand for solar energy is expected to propel the growth of the glass and glass products market going forward. Solar energy is the conversion of sunlight into thermal or electrical energy. It uses energy to generate electricity, provide light or a warm indoor atmosphere, and heat water for household, commercial, or industrial purposes. Glass is used in solar panels because it can transfer sunlight without absorbing it, it works as a mirror with a reflecting coating on one or both sides that helps concentrate sunlight, and most solar panel glasses are tempered to endure harsh weather conditions. For instance, in September 2022, according to a report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, solar PV power output grew by 179 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2021, reaching 1,000 TWh, representing a 22% increase over 2020. Moreover, it is predicted to attain an annual solar PV generation level of around 7,400 terawatt hours by 2030. Therefore, the demand for solar energy is driving the growth of the glass and glass products market.

Key Industry Players

Major companies operating in the glass and glass products market are focused on developing low-carbon glass to gain a competitive edge in the market. Low-carbon glass is a type of glass that has been specifically designed to have a reduced carbon footprint. For instance, in September 2022, Saint-Gobain SA, a France-based manufacturer of glass products and solutions, launched ORAE. It is the first low-carbon glass in the world, containing about 40% less carbon than a standard clear glass pane. The ORAÉ recycled glass product, which was created especially for facades, has the same light transmission and clarity as regular Saint Gobain glass in terms of aesthetics. The recycled glass product provides low everlasting reflection and a neutral tone for clear glass designs.
