New York, USA, Dec. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Market Overview
The market size of the global float glass machinery market was evaluated to be at USD 4.01 billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow and increase from USD 4.24 billion in 2025 to USD 7.18 billion by 2034, displaying a CAGR of 5.4% from 2025 to 2034.
Market Introduction
A special type of machinery that is used to produce float glass, a type of glass with a smooth, uniform structure and excellent optical properties, is known as float glass machinery. The Pilkington Process is another name for the float glass-making process. Tin is used in the process because it is the only metal that remains stable as a liquid at the required high temperatures. The different steps involved in manufacturing float glass are batching, melting, drawing, annealing, and cutting & storage.
Float glass differs from regular glass in that it has a sleek surface free of ripples, and it is more durable. Float glass is utilized in various applications, such as windows, solar panels, LCD screens, and car windshields.
