Few Diverse Global Players Dominate the Market Holding the Majority Revenue Share Despite the Presence of ~300 Competitors Comprising a Large Number of Regional Players and Country-Niche Players, finds a recent market study on the Global Flat Glass Market by Ken Research
Flat glass is made by dissolving
sand, soda ash, and silica in a liquid and spreading it to the required
thickness. The molten liquid is then cooled to obtain the desired product. Most
flat glass is soda-lime glass, most commonly manufactured using the float glass
process, however, it can also be rolled or formed by sheet metal. After
manufacturing, the flat glass can be bent for various types of applications.
Flat glass is most commonly used
for manufacturing windows, doors, mirrors, photovoltaic modules, and e-glass
structures among others.
