Glass Substrate Market, by Type (Borosilicate, Silicon, Ceramic, Fused Silica/Quartz, Others (Soda-lime and Aluminosilicate)) and, by End-use Industry (Electronics, Automotive, Medical, Aerospace Defense, Solar, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032

Glass Substrate Market Analysis 

Glass substrate, also known as float glass, raw glass, or glass liter, is an independent glass ply used in the manufacturing of glass products. Glass substrates allow panel manufacturers to evolve display panels that are environmentally sustainable, lighter, and thinner. To reduce environmental impact of production, producers are gradually promoting the products that contain no unnecessary heavy metals. Glass is commonly used in daily life, and is widely applicable across various industries, including flat panel display, smart handheld devices, and automotive applications. Owing to its superior chemical, mechanical, electrical, and optical characteristics, applications of glass substrate are constantly evolving. The demand for glass substrates is expected to grow over the coming years due to its characteristics such as lower micro-roughness and smoothness.
