China Flat Glass Market Analysis

The China Flat Glass Market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.42% during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market in 2020 due to several restrictions imposed by the Chinese government. The pandemic resulted in labor scarcity and supply chain disruptions, which negatively affected China's building, construction, and automotive end-user industries, thereby affecting the flat glass market. However, post-pandemic, the upliftment of restrictions across China helped the automotive and construction end-user industries register a decent growth rate, thereby assisting the flat glass market to recover significantly.

  • The growing demand for electronic displays and increasing demand from the construction industry are significant factors driving the market's growth.
  • However, the fluctuating prices of raw materials and government regulations on carbon emissions are likely to restrain the growth of the market studied. 
  • Nevertheless, the rising initiatives in the solar industry and the growing prevalence of ultra-thin glass for smartphones will likely create lucrative growth opportunities for the flat glass market.
