Scratch-Resistant Glass Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Scratch-resistant glass is well-known to be a different type of glass that is coated with a hard protective layer. This coating is applied to the back and front surface of the glass.  Scratch-resistant glass is less prone to scratches than normal glass because it maintains its original elegance for much longer. Through patented technology, this glass has a diamond-like surface coating on one side which cannot be removed easily and provides permanent protection. It is ten times more resistant to scratches than normal glass or stainless steel.

Global Scratch-Resistant Glass Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing applications of scratch-resistant glasses in consumer electric devices

Consumer electric devices such as tablets, smartphones, laptops, and LCD/LED television sets are some of the major applications of scratch-resistant glass, significantly contributing to the market's growth. Gorilla glasses and Sapphire glasses are the two major types of scratch-resistant glasses used in tablets and smartphones. Apart from this, these glasses provide resistance to minor scratches. These toughened glasses are chemically produced and have several features, such as enhanced surface quality, drop protection, and optical clarity.

• Growth and expansion of the smartphone industry

The rapidly rising smartphone industry and increasing sales and production of high-quality smartphones, coupled with the growing preference of individuals towards quality products and lucrative specifications, are some of the major factors which will create ample opportunities for market growth. Smartphones are prone to scratches, which depreciates the overall look after being damaged and scratched. This will aid manufacturers in providing a better user experience since the consumers do not have to expend on aftermarket repair services.

Opportunities

• Numerous advantages associated with scratch-resistant glass

Chemically strengthened scratch-resistant glass provides numerous benefits, such as enhanced shock absorption characteristics and high dimensional stability. This is highly used in manufacturing connected devices and sustainable lighting solutions in the Internet of Things (IoT) product category. Therefore, the growing demand for OLED and portable devices will likely boost the demand for scratch-resistant glass in the upcoming years.

• Surging product innovations

The surging product innovations by major market players will further offer several growth opportunities. Glass innovators focus on making glass thinner, tougher, more lightweight, and resistant to scratches during the forecast period. Scratch-resistant glass is becoming an essential component in mobile and consumer electronics. Now automakers are including it in windows, sunroofs, and dashboards to decrease the vehicle's overall weight.

 Restraints/ Challenges

• Several challenges associated with scratch-resistant glass companies

There are certain obstacles and restrictions faced that will hamper the overall growth of the market. Factors such as the usage of coatings and film lamination inhibit the market's growth. However, the constant demand for the development of the product might challenge the growth of the scratch-resistant glass market in the upcoming years.
