The growing use of glass in the construction sector is anticipated to boost the industrial gases-glass market in the future. The construction sector encompasses the industrial activities related to building, repairing, renovating, and maintaining infrastructure. Glass is increasingly utilized in construction as an insulation material, structural component, external glazing material, and cladding material. Key advantages of using glass in construction include its ability to transmit up to 80% of natural light, provide sound insulation, and offer thermal insulation. For example, in February 2023, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, reported that the UK's annual construction output for 2022 increased by 5.6% compared to 2021, following an extraordinary growth of 12.8% in 2021. Thus, the rising applications of glass in the construction sector are driving the growth of the industrial gases-glass market.
The expanding automotive industry is expected to drive the growth of the industrial gases-glass market. This sector includes the design, manufacturing, and sale of motor vehicles. Industrial gases-glass are essential for producing high-quality glass components used in vehicles, providing strength and preventing shattering in the event of accidents. For example, in May 2023, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, based in Belgium, reported that global motor vehicle production reached 85.4 million units in 2022, marking a significant increase of 5.7% compared to 2021. Additionally, a February 2022 report from Brand Finance plc, a UK-based brand valuation company, stated that the automobile sector achieved approximately 78 million unit sales in 2022, representing a substantial 10% increase. Thus, the growth of the automotive industry is driving the industrial gases-glass market.
Technological advancement is gaining traction in the industrial gases-glass market. Major players in this market are concentrating their efforts on creating advanced technologies, such as climate-friendly glass production using hydrogen.
