In 2022 & 2023, market players expected to sail in rough waters; might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain. Further, U.S. economy is expected to grow merely by 3% in 2022. Purchasing power in the country is expected to fell nearly by 2.5%.
On the other hand, European countries to see the worst coming in the form of energy crisis especially in upcoming winters!! Right after COVID-19, inflation has started gripping the economies across the globe. Higher than anticipated inflation, especially in western world had raised concerns for national banks and financial institutions to control the economic loss and safeguard the interest of the businesses. Increased interest rates, strong USD inflated oil prices, looming prices for gas and energy resources due to Ukraine-Russia conflict, China economic slowdown (~4% in 2022) disrupting the production and global supply chain and other factors would impact each industry negatively.
Heat resistant glass are the glasses that are capable of withstanding either very high or low levels of temperature fluctuations without shattering. The heat resistant glass contains lime soda or silica in order to resist heat. This glass is produced by heating silica at a high temperature for large time intervals and subsequently the molten form is processed into different glass, depending on the application and the property required. The heat resistant glass are basically crystalline compounds that are heated to such high temperatures that they melt, thereby resulting in breakage of their molecular structure. When this broken structure cools, the molecules get relocked in the desired form, before they could recrystallize themselves. Some of the properties of the heat resistant glass such as melting point, brittleness, thermal resistance and few others depend on the chemical composition used during the manufacturing process.
The heat resistance glass market is anticipated to record a CAGR of around 15% over the forecast period i.e. 2019-2027, owing to increase in awareness regarding safety measures coupled with rules & regulations formulated by the governments. The inherent property of glass to resist heat and refract light is anticipated to increase the glass usage as an insulator. This property of glass is even improved by applying different thermal and chemical coatings which makes it appropriate for use in different applications. The increasing awareness about green technologies and environmental concerns is expected to witness a rise in demand for green building constructions.. The new enhancements in glass technology has made it possible to improve the properties of glass by focusing on improvement of aesthetics, safety and comfort levels, thereby increasing the application areas of heat resistant glass.
