The global flexible glass market size reached US$ 1.7 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach US$ 2.8 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.70% during 2023-2032.
Flexible glass refers to an ultra-thin glass substrate that can bend multiple times without breaking. It exhibits similar properties to that of a rigid glass, such as high strength, temperature stability, durability, rigidity and scratch resistance. Rolled glass is one of the commonly used flexible glass, which is widely used in the manufacturing of consumer electronics, such as smartphones, lightings and digital displays. Flexible glass is also used to produce automobile windowpanes, portable electronics, solar panels and construction interiors to minimize their weight, increase the aesthetic appeal and improve overall durability.
Additionally, various product innovations, such as the development of lightweight and roll-on glasses, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. Product manufacturers are using novel plastic and metal substrates, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), to manufacture cost-effective flexible glass. Other factors, including an increasing emphasis on glass material recycling, along with extensive research and development (R&D) activities, are anticipated to drive the market further.
