Abstract
The worldwide flat glass demand comes from three key sectors, construction,
automotive and specialty, with the construction sector contributing about
two-thirds of the worldwide demand. A key trend is increasing demand for
value-added glass products, particularly for automotive glazing and
architectural applications.
The dominance of China as a major market for glass has been increasing with
economic liberalization and rising foreign investment. China accounts for
about one-third share in the worldwide demand of flat glass. India has one of
the lowest per capita flat glass consumption but with rapid growth in domestic
construction and automotive markets, it presents a significant opportunity for
global glass majors.
The flat glass industry is fairly consolidated, with four players (NSG, Asahi,
Saint-Gobain and Guardian) holding about two-thirds of the worldwide flat
glass production capacity.
The report analyzes the worldwide flat glass market. It also analyzes the
Chinese and Indian flat glass market. Apart from providing a competitive
landscape of the market, the report also profiles the major glass companies,
with a discussion of their key business strategies. It also analyzes the major
growth drivers and issues impacting the flat glass market.
