The global ultra-thin glass market size is expected to grow from USD 7.8 billion in 2020 to USD 14.3 billion by 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.0% during the forecast period. Ultra-thin glass is used in a variety of end-use industries, including consumer electronics, automotive & transportation, medical & healthcare, and others including industrial, construction & architecture, aerospace & defense, railway, solar energy, sports & entertainment, etc. Increasing demand from these end-use industries is driving the market. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the consumer electronics industry has affected the ultra-thin glass market in 2020.
Over the past few years, companies have strengthened their positions in the global ultra-thin glass market by adopting strategies such as new product launch/new product development, collaboration, joint venture, and partnership. From 2015 to 2020, new product launch/new product development and joint venture have been the key strategies adopted by market players. For instance, in March 2018, Asahi Glass developed an ultra-thin flexible cover glass for foldable devices. The product has bending stress over 1200 MPa. These foldable glasses can be widely used for next-generation displays.
