 The float glass process was patented in
1848 by Henry Bessemer, an English

GLASS MARKET :
SITUATION
ANALYSIS
 Currentworld flat glass market is estimated
at 72 million metric tons.


 Ofthe 72 million tons, approximately 2

million tons is rolled glass and 3 million is
sheet glass. As much as an additional 10
million tons is lower quality glass.


 Annualglobal flat glass demand is

estimated to grow at 8%.


 To satisfy 8% annual growth the industry will

need to add more than 100 new float
lines.
  Growth is driven by building and automotive
glass primarily. However, glass products
are driven by economic conditions.


 With more than one-third (34%) of the

global market, China is the largest and
fastest growing market.


 Bigchallenge (biggest in US/Europe) is ever-

increasing energy cost for:
 Melting raw materials.
