Glass Manufacturing Market Trends

The robust adoption of smart glass technologies and innovations in lightweight, durable glass materials will favor the market growth. Smart glass, which can adjust its transparency and shielding properties for environmental or electronic applications, is gaining popularity in residential and commercial buildings due to energy efficiency and improved user comfort. Advances in thin and flexible glass are opening new applications in consumer electronics, especially in folding and wearable devices. The growing popularity of 3D printing with glass materials is further enabling the creation of complex and custom designs for industrial and artistic applications. For instance, in April 2023, Lithoz introduced a new material, 'LithaGlass powered by Glassomer' for its 3D printing technology, a composite slurry made of quartz glass and developed after research with Glassomer.
