2022年全球玻璃市场规模达2,607亿美元,预计2030年将达到3,791亿美元,2023-2030年预测期间CAGR为4.8%。
全球玻璃市场多元化且充满活力,有许多不同的应用。它包括用于包装、电子、建筑等多种行业的玻璃製品的製造和分销。永续性和对节能玻璃不断增长的需求是两个关键的市场驱动因素。
此外,提高智慧玻璃技术的使用以及不断增加对采用先进玻璃製造技术的投资是促进全球玻璃市场成长的其他重要因素。
玻璃工业是能源密集产业之一。儘管能源效率不断提高,但生产过程对高温的依赖限制了现有技术的进步。可以用可再生电力加热的新熔炉在欧洲的试点项目中进行了测试,并对氢气的使用进行了研究。
欧洲各地都有玻璃厂,占全球市场的近26.7%。然而,这些地区的小型企业减少排放所需的投资极为困难,特别是对于氢气管道等重要基础设施而言。因此,政府正在提供支持,以改善市场上先进玻璃製造的发展,从而带来未来的成长前景。
低辐射 (Low-E) 玻璃通常称为节能玻璃,有助于减少透过窗户和外墙的热传递。这意味着建筑物供暖和製冷所需的能源更少,从而降低能源消耗和能源成本。随着能源效率成为住宅和商业建筑的首要任务,有助于最大限度减少能源使用的玻璃解决方案的需求变得越来越大。
公司也投资采用节能眼镜。例如,2020 年,由欧盟资助的 Switch2Save 计画正在创建价格合理的智慧玻璃系统,非常适合巨大的窗户和玻璃帷幕。经过一年的实验,初步结果表明,这些节能型中空玻璃单元 (IGU) 可以将大量玻璃结构的一次能源消耗减少高达 70%。 Switch2Save 智慧玻璃解决方案将电致变色 (EC) 和热致变色 (TC) 窗户技术与巧妙的开关协定相结合。
智慧玻璃、自清洁玻璃和轻质玻璃等技术进步是推动玻璃市场的主要因素。可切换玻璃,通常称为智慧玻璃,是一种可以响应电流或其他刺激而改变其光传输特性的玻璃。由于这项技术在能源效率、隐私、美观和舒适度方面具有相当大的优势,预计在未来五年内将发展并变得更加普遍。
目前,智慧眼镜主要分为三大类:1)电致变色2)聚合物分散液晶(PDLC); 3) 悬浮粒子装置(SPD)。智慧玻璃技术的性能、尺寸和可承受性预计将随着不断进步而提高,从而开闢更广阔的市场。智慧玻璃可用于室内隔间以及窗户、门和天窗。最大尺寸限制仍然是许多专案的主要挑战。
英国南安普敦大学的研究人员表示,玻璃的熔化温度比塑胶和铝更高。原始玻璃在其原料熔化过程中释放的温室气体进一步增加了对环境的影响。据国际能源总署称,平板玻璃和货柜业每年排放超过 60 兆吨二氧化碳。这可能会让人感到惊讶,但根据布洛克的研究,塑胶瓶对环境的危害比玻璃瓶小。
此外,回收玻璃并不能消除重熔过程(玻璃生产过程中消耗最多的能源)是其主要问题之一。它占生产过程中使用的能源的 75%。玻璃通常被归类为一次性使用,儘管它平均可以重复使用 12-20 次。被一次性丢进垃圾掩埋场的玻璃可能需要一百万年才能降解。全球范围内,玻璃回收率差异很大。 2018年美国的平均回收率为31.3%,而欧盟和英国的平均回收率为74%和76%。因此,上述因素是阻碍玻璃市场成长的潜在因素。
Global Glass Market reached US$ 260.7 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 379.1 billion by 2030, growing with a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period 2023-2030.
The global glass market is diverse and dynamic and has many different applications. It includes the manufacturing and distribution of glass goods utilized in a variety of industries, including packaging, electronics, construction and more. Sustainability and rising demand for energy-efficient glass are two key market-driving drivers.
Furthermore, improving the use of smart glass technology and growing investments in the adoption of advanced technologies for glass manufacturing are other prominent factors contributing to the growth of the global glass market.
One of the energy-intensive industries is the glass industry. Although it has consistently increased its energy efficiency, the production process' reliance on high temperatures places restrictions on how far the available technologies may advance. New furnaces that could be heated with renewable electricity are tested in Europe in pilot projects and research looks into the usage of hydrogen.
Many locations throughout Europe have glassworks which has made it contribute nearly 26.7% to the global market. However, the investments required to reduce emissions for smaller businesses in these areas are extremely difficult, particularly for vital infrastructure like hydrogen pipelines. Thus government is providing support to improve the development of advanced glass manufacturing in the market leading to future growth prospects.
Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass, often known as energy-efficient glass, helps reduce heat transfer via windows and facades. The implies that less energy is needed in buildings for heating and cooling, which lowers energy consumption and lowers energy costs. Glass solutions that might help minimize energy usage are becoming more and more in demand as energy efficiency becomes a priority for both residential and commercial structures.
Companies are also investing in adopting energy-efficient glasses. For instance, in 2020, The Switch2Save project, financed by the European Union, is creating reasonably priced smart glass systems that fit well with huge windows and glass facades. After a year of the experiment, preliminary findings indicate that these energy-smart insulating glass units (IGUs) can reduce a structure with a lot of glazing by up to 70% in terms of primary energy use. Electrochromic (EC) and thermochromic (TC) window technologies are combined with clever switching protocols in the Switch2Save smart glass solutions.
Technological advancements such as smart glass, self-cleaning glass and lightweight glass are major factors contributing to the market of glass. Switchable glass, commonly referred to as smart glass, is a type of glass that can alter its light transmission characteristics in response to an electric current or other stimulus. Since this technology offers considerable advantages for energy efficiency, privacy, aesthetics and comfort, it is anticipated to advance and become more prevalent during the next five years.
Currently, there are three main categories of smart glasses: 1) electrochromic 2) Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC); and 3) Suspended Particle Device (SPD). The performance, size and affordability of Smart Glass technologies are anticipated to improve with continued advancements, opening up a wider market. Smart Glass can be utilized for interior partitions as well as windows, doors and skylights. Maximum size restrictions continue to be the key challenge for many projects.
According to a researcher from University of Southampton in UK, glass has to melt at temperatures higher than plastic and aluminum. The environmental impact of virgin glass is further increased by the release of greenhouse gases during the melting process of its raw components. Over 60 megatonnes of CO2 are released annually by the flat-glass and container sectors, according to the International Energy Agency. It might come as a surprise, but according to Brock's research, plastic bottles are less harmful to the environment than glass ones.
Furthermore, The fact that recycling glass does not eliminate the remelting process-which uses the most energy during glass production-is one of its main issues. It makes up 75% of the energy used in the production process. Glass is generally classified as single-use even though it may be reused an average of 12-20 times. Glass that has been thrown away once-and-for-all all all in landfills may take up to a million years to degrade. Globally, glass recycling rates differ greatly. The average recycling rate in U.S. was 31.3% in 2018, compared to 74% and 76% in the EU and UK. Thus the above factors are the potential factors hampering the growth of the glass market.
The global glass market is segmented based on type, raw material, application, end-user and region.
Flat glass is a growing market based on types and is expected to cover more than 40.9% market share in the forecast period. Research & development investments result in innovations in flat glass manufacturing. Innovations in float glass production methods, coating technologies and the development of energy-efficient and smart glass are instances of these developments. Customers seeking exceptional glass products are drawn to advanced technology, fueling the segment's expansion.
For instance, in August 2022, Mexican glass manufacturer Vitro explored the development of a flat and container glass plant. The Mexican container and float glass manufacturer intends to invest US$ 400 million in a free zone framework in a 350,000m2 flat glass production and a 150,000m2 container glass facility.
Europe has been a dominant force in the global glass market and is expected to reach up to 40.1% in 2022 in terms of revenue. Collaborations between important stakeholders frequently involve the exchange of technology and research capabilities. It can result in the development of innovative glass products and manufacturing techniques, with the potential to open up new markets and applications.
For instance, in February 2023, AGC and Saint-Gobain will collaboratively design a pilot flat glass production that will lower each company's direct CO2 emissions. AGC's patterned glass production plant in Barevka, Czech Republic, will be completely rebuilt and modernized. The line's objective is to be 50% electrified and 50% fueled by a mix of oxygen and gas. The is a technological breakthrough when compared to current technology utilized in natural gas-fired flat glass furnaces.
Manufacturing of float glass has been impacted by COVID-19, much like the rest of the glass industry. Difficulties with the supply chain and possible closures as a result of state orders to stay at home and shelter in place have affected the industry. With a few exceptions, the majority of float manufacturing facilities in U.S. seem to be still in operation as of right present. When the coronavirus first started to spread and stay-at-home restrictions were put into place, the majority of American corporations with float facilities issued statements about worker safety and material supply. Companies pledged communication about disruptions brought on by the pandemic, reassured clients that there was a sufficient supply of raw glass and highlighted worker safety precautions.
Nevertheless, COVID-19 has had consequences, mostly because of the economic effects of the pandemic.
Commodity and energy price volatility can be caused by geopolitical tensions and trade disruptions. Energy price fluctuations, such as natural gas, can have an impact on glass producers' production costs. The European glass industry is energy-intensive and energy prices account for a considerable portion of production costs. Geopolitical events can have an impact on energy prices, thereby raising production costs.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine may disrupt supply chains, reducing the availability of raw materials, particularly minerals and chemicals required in glass manufacture. If European glass manufacturers rely on regional imports, disruptions could result in supply shortages and price instability.
The major global players in the market include: Saint-Gobain, Asahi India Glass Limited, Corning Incorporated, Nippon Sheet Glass, Guardian Industries, SCHOTT AG, Central Glass Co., Ltd, PPG Industries, Vitro S.A.B. de C.V, Cardinal Glass Industries and others.
