Advanced glass is a superior grade of glass manufactured by combining various components, including soda ash, pure silica (SiO2), fused quartz, natural gas, and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3). Unlike conventional glass, it undergoes several specific chemical and mechanical procedures that enhance its strength and durability for several applications. Apart from this, advanced glass has a high-performance index that protects from ultraviolet (UV) radiation, improves soundproofing characteristics, and provides security and resistance against acid erosion. Based on these properties, advanced glass finds extensive applications in screen protectors for multiple consumer electronics, flat panel displays, lenses, and windscreens. At present, it is commercially available in coated, toughened, laminated, and ceramic glass types.

Advanced Glass Market Trends:
With the signification expansion in construction activities, there has been increasing demand for effective value-added renovation materials, such as advanced glass, across various commercial and residential complexes, which is primarily driving the market growth. This can be further attributed to the ongoing investments in several infrastructural projects and the rising consumer awareness regarding the multiple benefits associated with the product. In line with this, the extensive utilization of advanced glass by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and automobile companies to compose easy-to-install vehicle windows is acting as another growth-inducing factor. The glass provides optimal comfort to the driver and passenger by inhibiting the heat release, further minimizing air conditioning load and improving fuel efficiency. Additionally, rapid technological advancements in the manufacturing process and the introduction of varying product types, such as smart, thin, safe crystal, nano canal, and self-cleaning glass, are contributing to the market growth. Other factors, such as extensive utilization of advanced glass in multiple consumer electronics, including laptops, desktops, and smartphones, and strategic collaborations amongst key players to enhance product performance and efficacy, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
