Flat Glass: Europe

Report Overview

This report forecasts to 2027 flat glass demand in square meters and nominal US dollars at the manufacturer level in Europe. Total Europe flat glass production is also forecasted to 2027 in square meters and metric tons. Total demand by value is segmented by market in terms of: residential buildings; nonresidential buildings; motor vehicle original equipment manufacturer (OEM); motor vehicle aftermarket; solar energy; and other markets such as appliances, electronic equipment, and aerospace equipment.

To illustrate historical trends, total fabricated flat glass demand by value is provided in annual series from 2012 to 2022; total flat glass production in area and volume terms, total flat glass demand in area terms, and the various demand segments by value are reported at five-year intervals for 2012, 2017, and 2022.

Production data reflect primarily float glass, but also include sheet glass, rolled glass, plate glass, and specialty types of flat glass such as patterned glass. Capacity figures include only float glass and, where noted, patterned glass. Fabricated flat glass includes both basic glass as well as processed and value-added products such as laminated, tempered, and insulating glass.

Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
