Tempered Glass Market Trends
Growing Demand from the Construction Industry
- Tempered glass is also known as toughened glass. It is widely used in building and infrastructure construction because of its high tensile strength and great thermal shock and temperature resistance properties.
- The demand for modern interior infrastructure has been rising significantly. The demand for residential and commercial buildings is high. Tempered glass is used as a decorative panel in interior design.
- Tempered glass can be used in buildings for things like sliding doors, storm doors, building entrances, bath and shower enclosures, interior walls, stairs, building facades, and other places where strength and safety are important.
- The building construction sector is expanding rapidly across the globe. For example, China's growth is fueled mainly by rapid expansion in the residential and commercial building sectors. China is encouraging and enduring a continuous urbanization process, with a projected rate of 70% by 2030.
- Furthermore, China's construction output peaked in 2021 at a value of about 29.3 trillion yuan. As a result, these factors tend to make more people want to buy tempered glass during the time period in the forecast.
- Also, India is expanding its commercial sector. Several projects have been going on in the country. For instance, the construction of the CommerzIII Commercial Office Complex, worth USD 900 million, started in Q1 2022. The project involves the construction of a 43-story commercial office complex with a permissible floor area of 2,601,28 m2 in Goregaon, Mumbai. The project is expected to be completed in Q4 of 2027.
As a result of the aforementioned factors, as well as the expanding construction sector, demand for tempered glass is expected to rise during the forecast period.
