2030 年浮法玻璃市場預測:按產品類型、原料、應用和地區分類的全球分析Float Glass Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Product Type (Tinted Float Glass, Clear Float Glass, Patterned Float Glass, Coated Float Glass, Extra Clear Float Glass and Other Product Types), Raw Material, Application and By Geography |
根據Stratistics MRC預測,2023年全球浮法玻璃市場規模將達480億美元,預計2030年將達到750億美元,預測期內複合年成長率為6.6%。
浮法玻璃是一種平板玻璃,透過將熔融玻璃漂浮在熔融錫頂部來製造,從而產生光滑、均勻的表面,無需拋光。它於 20 世紀 50 年代開發,憑藉其高光學品質、一致性和多功能性徹底改變了玻璃製造。浮法玻璃用於窗戶、鏡子和建築應用,具有透明度、耐用性和易於加工性。其製造流程可製造大而薄的板材,使其具有成本效益並廣泛應用於建築領域。
根據土木工程師學會預測,未來10年建築產量將成長85%,其中印度、中國等新興國家和美國等已開發國家為主導,全球整體收益預計將達到15.5兆美元。
建築需求的增加
隨著建築建設活動的擴大,對浮法玻璃的需求也在增加,浮法玻璃是窗戶、建築幕牆和隔間等建築應用的關鍵材料,這通常會轉化為浮法玻璃製造商更高的銷售量和更高的收益。這使得公司能夠對研發進行再投資,提高產品質量,並擴大產品系列,以滿足多樣化的客戶需求。這種穩定性緩解了其他行業短期波動的影響,有助於浮法玻璃市場的整體韌性。
嚴格的環境法規
環境法規可能會限制使用某些造成環境風險或污染的原料或製造流程。浮法玻璃製造商可能需要採購替代原料或採用清潔生產技術以確保符合環境法規,這可能會影響產品品質和生產效率。此外,浮法玻璃製造商可能需要投資節能設備,例如熔爐改良和熱回收系統,以最大限度地減少玻璃生產過程中的能源消耗和溫室氣體排放。
技術進步
本體著色浮法玻璃是一種新型玻璃,在製造過程中向玻璃中添加熔融著色劑而製成。這些玻璃具有吸收太陽輻射的獨特特性,當用於建築門窗時,可以減少熱量進入,從而限制冷卻能耗。最初,平板玻璃用於小尺寸,但需要較高的內部結構強度才能穩定地保持大尺寸。平板玻璃現在可以透過熱處理進行強化,使其適合建築應用,從而刺激全球需求。
原料成本上漲
原料成本上漲可能促使浮法玻璃製造商投資於產品開發,旨在提高效率、減少材料使用以及用更便宜的替代品取代昂貴的材料。玻璃成分、製造流程或回收技術的創新有助於減輕原料成本上漲的影響。此外,客戶可能會尋求浮法玻璃的替代品,或在計劃中優先考慮節省成本的措施,這可能會影響對我們浮法玻璃產品的需求。
COVID-19 的影響
由於需求減少,浮法玻璃製造商的銷售量和產量下降。然而,隨著經濟逐步重新開放,在建設活動增加和汽車製造業復甦的推動下,市場反彈。此外,疫情也加速了節能和永續建築材料的發展趨勢,為浮法玻璃製造商在疫情帶來的持續挑戰中創新和滿足不斷變化的市場需求創造了機會。
預計彩色浮法玻璃產業在預測期內將是最大的
有色浮法玻璃服務於特定的細分市場,例如建築應用(窗戶、建築幕牆、門)、汽車工業(窗戶、天窗)和室內設計。由於有色玻璃在這些地區的流行,與透明浮法玻璃相比,對有色浮法玻璃的需求可能會波動。這對於尋求產品多樣化並瞄準優先考慮美觀和性能特徵(例如減少太陽能熱量)的利基市場的玻璃製造商來說是有利的。
白雲石產業預計在預測期內複合年成長率最高
白雲石產業預計在預測期內將出現最高的複合年成長率,因為白雲石是鎂和鈣的來源,而鎂和鈣是玻璃製造的重要成分。白雲石的可用性和成本會影響玻璃製造商的生產成本。白雲石的供應量和價格的變化可能會影響浮法玻璃製造的整體成本結構。此外,與其他原料製成的玻璃相比,含白雲石的玻璃可以表現出不同的光學、熱和機械性能。這些差異會影響玻璃對各種應用的適用性,
由於中國和印度等國家的建築、太陽能板等行業的需求,預計亞太地區在預測期內將佔據最大的市場佔有率。使用汽車玻璃生產擋風玻璃、側窗和後窗可顯著提高所有參數的安全性。根據國際貿易組織的數據,就年銷量和產量而言,中國仍然是全球最大的汽車市場,預計到2025年國內產量將達到3,500萬輛。這些趨勢顯示預測期內太陽能電池產業浮法玻璃的消費前景樂觀。
由於建設活動和汽車生產設備投資的增加,預計中東和非洲在預測期內的複合年成長率最高。例如,2023年5月,阿曼蘇丹海瑟姆宣佈在Muscat附近啟動一個名為蘇丹海瑟姆城的新城市計劃。該計劃的主要目的是為低收入群體提供經濟適用住宅。建成後,該市將可容納多達10萬居民。它還將擁有教育機構、禮拜場所、醫療中心、大學和購物中心等基本設施。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Float Glass Market is accounted for $48.0 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $75.0 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period. Float glass is a type of flat glass produced by floating molten glass on top of a bed of molten tin, resulting in a smooth, uniform surface without the need for polishing. Developed in the 1950s, it revolutionized glass manufacturing due to its high optical quality, consistency, and versatility. Used in windows, mirrors, and architectural applications, float glass offers clarity, durability, and ease of fabrication. Its production process allows for the creation of large, thin sheets, making it cost-effective and widely used in construction.
According to the Institution of Civil Engineers, the volume of construction output is projected to grow by 85%, with revenue of USD 15.5 trillion across the world in the upcoming decade, led by emerging countries such as India and China and developed countries like the United States.
Increasing demand from building and constructions
As building and construction activities expand, the demand for float glass, a primary material in architectural applications like windows, facades, and interior partitions, also rises and often translates to higher sales volumes and improved revenues for float glass manufacturers. This enables companies to reinvest in research and development, enhance product quality, and expand their product portfolios to meet diverse customer needs. This stability can mitigate the impact of short-term fluctuations in other sectors and contribute to the overall resilience of the float glass market.
Stringent environmental regulations
Environmental regulations may restrict the use of certain raw materials or production processes that pose environmental risks or contribute to pollution. Float glass manufacturers may need to source alternative materials or adopt cleaner production technologies to ensure compliance, which could affect product quality or production efficiency. Moreover float glass manufacturers may need to invest in energy-efficient equipment, such as furnace upgrades or heat recovery systems, to minimize energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions during glass production.
Technological advancements
Body-tinted float glass is a new variety made by adding molten colorants to the glass during the manufacturing process. These glasses possess unique properties to absorb solar radiations, and when used on doors and windows of buildings, they reduce heat penetration and consequently limit the energy consumed for cooling. Initially, flat glasses were used in smaller sizes, as they require high internal structural strength for larger pieces to hold themselves steadily. Currently, flat glasses can be toughened by heat treatments to make them suitable for building applications, thereby boosting their demand, globally.
Increasing cost of raw materials
Rising raw material costs may incentivize float glass manufacturers to invest in product development aimed at improving efficiency, reducing material usage, or substituting costly materials with more affordable alternatives. Innovation in glass composition, production processes, or recycling technologies could help mitigate the impact of increasing raw material costs. Additionally customers may seek alternatives to float glass or prioritize cost-saving measures in their projects, impacting demand for float glass products.
Covid-19 Impact
Reduced demand led to decreased sales and production volumes for float glass manufacturers. However, as economies gradually reopened, the market witnessed a recovery, driven by increased construction activities and a resurgence in automotive manufacturing. Additionally, the pandemic accelerated trends towards energy-efficient and sustainable building materials, leading to opportunities for float glass manufacturers to innovate and meet evolving market demands amidst the ongoing challenges posed by the pandemic.
The tinted float glass segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The tinted float glass segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, Tinted float glass caters to specific market segments, such as architectural applications (windows, facades, doors), automotive industry (windows, sunroofs), and interior design. Depending on the popularity of tinted glass in these sectors, demand for tinted float glass can fluctuate compared to clear float glass. This can be advantageous for glass manufacturers looking to diversify their product offerings and target niche markets that prioritize aesthetics or performance characteristics like solar heat reduction.
The dolomite segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The dolomite segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, as dolomite is a source of magnesium and calcium, which are essential components in the manufacturing of glass. Its availability and cost can influence the production costs for glass manufacturers. Changes in dolomite availability or pricing can impact the overall cost structure of float glass production. Moreover dolomite-containing glasses may exhibit different optical, thermal, and mechanical properties compared to glasses made from other raw materials. These differences can affect the suitability of the glass for various applications,
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the demand from industries such as building and construction, solar panels, etc., in the countries like China and India. The use of automotive glass in the production of windshields, side windows, and rear windows has significantly improved safety in all parameters. According to the International Trade Organization, China remains the world's largest automotive market in terms of both annual sales and production, with domestic production expected to reach 35 million units by 2025. These developments indicate a positive outlook with respect to the consumption of float glass in the solar industry over the forecast period.
Middle East & Africa is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the rising investments in construction activities and automotive production facilities. For instance, in May 2023, Oman's Sultan Haitham announced the initiation of a new urban project near Muscat, referred to as Sultan Haitham City. The primary objective of this project is to offer affordable housing options for low-income citizens. Upon its completion, the city will have the capacity to accommodate up to 100,000 residents. It will be equipped with essential facilities, including educational institutions, places of worship, healthcare centers, a university, and shopping centers.
