Global Ultra-Thin Glass Market Forecast to 2022: Market is Projected to Grow from USD 9.73 Billion in 2017 to USD 16.99 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 11.8%

Dublin, Nov. 28, 2017 -- The "Ultra-Thin Glass Market by Manufacturing Process (Fusion, Float), Thickness (<0.1mm, 0.1-0.5mm, 0.5-1.0mm, 1.0-1.2mm), Application (Semiconductor Substrate, Touch Panel Displays, Fingerprint Sensors), End-Use Industry, Region-Global Forecast to 2022" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The ultra-thin glass market is projected to grow from USD 9.73 Billion in 2017 to USD 16.99 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 11.8% from 2017 to 2022.

The growing demand for ultra-thin glass from the consumer electronics segment is expected to drive the ultra-thin glass market.

The ultra-thin glass market has been segmented on the basis of manufacturing process, thickness, application, end-use industry, and region. On the basis of the manufacturing process, the ultra-thin glass market was led by float process as it is the widely adopted process by the manufacturer. Based on thickness, 0.5-1.0mm is the largest segment, as major applications areas incorporate an ultra-thin glass of this thickness range. Based on application, the touch panel displays segment led the ultra-thin glass market in 2016. Based on end-use industry, the consumer electronics segment led the ultra-thin glass market in 2016, owing to increase in demand for ultra-thin glass in applications such as smartphones, wearable devices, and TVs.

The Asia Pacific region led the ultra-thin glass market in 2016 and is expected to grow at a high rate during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for ultra-thin glass from consumer electronics, automotive, and biotechnology end-use industries, particularly in China and Japan.

The ultra-thin glass involves critical manufacturing process, which eventually leads to rise in the cost of this glass. Therefore, ultra-thin glass market growth is restrained due to the critical manufacturing process. In addition, the presence of substitutes such as thin glass and plastic pose a major challenge to the growth of ultra-thin glass market.
