With the increasing number of solar energy installations around the globe, the demand for flat glass is anticipated to increase for the manufacturing of solar panels. The growing demand for residential & commercial infrastructure and the increasing production of automobiles is also expected to drive the growth of the flat glass market in the coming years. Toughened glass product type was the largest segment of the market. Toughened glass has a range of applications in construction & infrastructure, automotive, and other applications. The breaking of toughened glass results in small, regular, and typically square fragments rather than long and dangerous shards that are far more likely to lead to injuries. Toughened glass has more mechanical strength and thermal resistance than annealed glass.
