Flexible Glass Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Flexible Glass Market according to our research experts:

Increasing Demand for Solar Panels

  • Glass is being used owing to the advantages, such as low cost, less weight, heat, and water resistant, scratch-resistant, etc. Some of the major end-user industries include electrical and electronics, automotive, optho-electronics, etc.
  • Manufacturing of solar panel is the second-largest application segment for flexible glass. The demand from thriving economies, like Japan and China, is much higher as compared to the demand from developed countries, like the United States and France.
  • Growing demand for lightweight and scratch free materials in the solar energy industry, in order to provide increased design flexibility and ultra-slim glass, is primarily responsible for the growth of the flexible glass market.
  • In addition, one of the boosting factors for these solar panels is the increasing investment in a renewable source of energy in order to reduce carbon emission all around the world. 
  • All the aforementioned factors are anticipated to increase the demand for flexible glass through the forecast period.
