Market Introduction
APAC comprises prospective economies such as China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific. The ultra-thin glass market across the region is projected to witness remarkable growth, owing to the rapidly expanding consumer electronics industry in countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea. China is one of the largest consumer electronics markets across the world, along with Japan and South Korea. Due to the high concentration of consumer electronics manufacturers in Asia-Pacific, the demand for ultra-thin glass from the manufacturers of electronic goods across the region is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. Moreover, China and Japan are the leading exporters of semiconductor components used in electronic gadgets. Many leading manufacturers of smartphones and electronic gadgets heavily rely on Asia-Pacific countries for sourcing semiconductor components. For chip packing and interposer applications, the semiconductor industry is progressively designing products using thin glass substrates. When organic substrate materials are employed, the locally generated heat of the small core parts of mobile devices causes deflection and reliability issues. Ultra-thin glass has excellent dimensional stability over a wide range of temperatures while also providing the foundation for an exceedingly flat chip package. Thus, the increasing utilization of ultra-thin glass for designing electronic goods across the region is projected to potentially drive the market over the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic is causing a significant economic loss in APAC. The consequence and impact can be even worse, and they totally depend on the spread of the virus. The Asian economies have been hit hard due to the pandemic. The emergence of new COVID-19 waves in India, Thailand, and other Asian economies has prolonged the effect of pandemic on GDP. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is causing huge disruptions in the growth of various industries across APAC. However, the uncertainty regarding the outbreak, especially in Asian countries such as India, has altered the status of several industrial sectors. The governments of various Asia-Pacific economies are taking possible steps to restrict the spread of the virus by announcing country-wide lockdown, which directly impacts the growth of industrial sectors. The crisis may disrupt the demand for ultra-thin glasses. However, the ultra-thin glass market in APAC is expected to witness an increase in investment by players to tap the prevailing opportunities and cater to expanding demand for ultra-thin glasses in post-pandemic times.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The ultra-thin glass market in APAC is expected to grow from US$ 4,002.71 million in 2021 to US$ 9,043.86 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.3% from 2021 to 2028. The rising demand for LED and OLED televisions is boosting the market growth across the region. Manufacturers of flat panel displays in China, South Korea, and Taiwan are dominating the global marketplace in terms of production and supply of flat panel displays. These displays can be found in cars, industrial equipment, personal computers, smartphones, and a variety of other goods. Liquid crystal displays are used in the majority of TV screens (LCDs). Other display types used in televisions include organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and quantum dots. LCDs and OLEDs are used in smartphone displays. Thus, the high concentration of flat panel displays manufacturers in Asia-Pacific, coupled with the high utilization of ultra-thin glass in designing flat panel displays, is the crucial factor anticipated to further drive the market in the coming years. Furthermore, the growing application of ultra-thin glass by automobile manufacturers in China, India, and South Korea is driving the market. China, as one of the significant producers of automobiles, has a high need for ultra-thin glass for use in various automotive interior panels. Furthermore, the existence of significant players such as AGC Inc. and Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd is projected to fuel the market expansion.
