E-Glass Market Size, Share Global Analysis Report, , 2020 – 2026

Industry Insights

[216+ Pages Report] Facts and Factors has recently published the report titled “E-Glass Market” which illustrates that the global E-Glass market was estimated to be around USD 28.40 Billion in 2020, and it is expected to provide revenue of about USD 34.50 Billion by end of 2026, developing at a CAGR of around 3.30% between 2021 and 2026.

Market Overview

In the term E-glass, the letter “e” stands for “electrical grade” that clearly helps explain the reason behind its low electrical conductivity. This type of glass is known to have limited thermal expansion coefficients, which helps enhance its resistance to thermal shock compared to common glass. Additionally, thermal stress is found to have no impact on the e-glass. It is general used to produce glassware used in laboratories, cooking, and other general purposes. In the standoff insulators used for electrical wiring, e-glass is used as a primary component. Furthermore, this glass is found to contain fabulous fiber-forming capabilities, thereby increasing its use as reinforcement agent in fiberglass, also known as glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) or glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP). The variation in the percentage of e-glass composition helps manufacture different types of fiberglass. The low cost, strength, high stiffness, electrical insulation, heat & chemical resistance, and non-flammable property of e-glass makes it a highly preferred option for the production of fiberglass and other glass fiber-reinforced composites.

Industry Growth Factors

The increasing cases of cancer caused due to the use of asbestos have increased the demand for e-glass. Thus, the nature-friendly boron-free e-glass is helping replace the boron-containing types. However, the toxicity of glass fibers present in the e-glass is likely to restrain the market growth during the forecast period. The rising use of glass fiber-reinforced composites in the various industries including, rowing shells & oars, traffic lights, antenna covers & structures, ship hulls auto body parts, GRP & GRE pipes, helmets, surfboards, storage tanks, tent poles, and others are expected to drive the e-glass market growth during the forecast period. Additionally, the rising technological advancements in production of lightweight materials for manufacturing automotive parts, such as brake pads, drive belts, clutch discs, and demand for high-performance glass fibers are expected to fuel the industry growth. The increasing disposable income has increased the electronic device expenditure, which in turn helps drive the market growth. The government programs to support digitalization coupled with growing the tech-savvy population further propels the growth of the e-glass market.
