As per the market research report published by Facts and Factors, the global e-glass market was valued at USD 28.40 Million in 2020. This market is further expected to generate revenue of around USD 34.50 Million by end of 2026, growing at a CAGR of around 3.30% between 2021 and 2026.
In the term E-glass, the letter “e” stands for “electrical grade” which 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 a 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. E-glass is a specialized kind of glass that has unique characteristics properties such as transparency, hardness, chemical resistance, stiffness, flexibility, and strength among others. E-glass is often used as a composite element in the production of e-glass fiber.
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 the 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's 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 propel the growth of the e-glass market.
