Ultra-thin glass is a flexible form of glass that is less than 1-2mm thick. This type of glass is a great choice for many applications, including light weight dual skins, retrofitting facades, insulating glass units (IGUs) and more. It is often produced in a process called “Draw Down” or “Fusion Draw”, which consists of stretching the glass vertically before rolling it up into spools. Typically these spools are 1.3m wide and 300m long. The most common application of ultra-thin glass is in touch panel display devices, which are popular with the consumer electronics industry and other end uses. This is a great way to enhance the aesthetics of displays while still offering excellent visibility, and also a good degree of scratch resistance. Another popular application of ultra-thin glass is in foldable devices, such as smartphones and tablets. This type of technology has a high level of complexity, and the glass must be very thin to survive bending stresses of up to 1200 MPa.
Market Dynamics:
The global ultra-thin glass market is projected to grow at a rapid pace over the forecast period, owing to increasing demand from consumer electronics industry. This is due to the rise in digitalization and increase in demand for touch panel display applications. The major drivers of the market include rising disposable income of consumers, growing adoption of electronic devices, and increasing technological innovation. Moreover, increasing government investments in various industries are also expected to drive the market growth.
However, fragile nature and easy availability of other alternatives are expected to hamper the market growth
