Glass is increasingly being used in construction applications. Tempered glass, in particular, is being employed in roofing applications as well as in manufacturing of glass windows. In developing countries, tempered glass is replacing standard glass in roofing applications on account of its high strength properties.
Furthermore, numerous car manufacturers employ tempered glass in production of windows for automobiles. Its increasing adoption can be attributed to its tendency of not breaking into small parts as opposed to standard glass, which leaves back sharp pieces on breakage, which could lead to serious human injuries and possible life threats.
The commencement of 12th Five Year Plan of Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) resulted in construction of 56 new airports and expansion of 16 airports, thereby boosting the construction sector in the country. China's sustained demand for industrial, residential, and infrastructural expansion has generated substantial demand for flat glasses.
Strong economic growth coupled with removal of barriers for foreign investment in India is expected to spur construction demand over the coming years. Vietnam and the Philippines are also becoming increasingly attractive markets owing to rising population, rapid urbanization, and strong economic growth.
Soda ash and silica sand are the key raw materials used in manufacturing of flat glass. Natural gas is a dominant fuel used in glass production. Turbulence in price and availability of natural gas is a major factor deterring the growth of the market.
