Float glass is a flat glass produced by the float process. Due to its excellent optical properties, high flatness, uniform thickness and other characteristics, float glass is widely used in many fields such as construction, automobile industry, home appliances and electronic products, furniture, solar energy, and public transportation.

The float glass industry chain can be divided into three links: upstream raw material supply, midstream glass manufacturing and deep processing, and downstream application areas. According to CRI analysis, the upstream link mainly includes raw material supply, and quartz sand is the most core raw material. This link is mainly dominated by mineral resources and chemical raw material suppliers to ensure the basic resources for glass production.

The midstream is the production and manufacturing link of float glass, covering raw material pretreatment, melting, tin bath, annealing and other links. The downstream application field is wide, and the construction industry is the main application field of float glass. In addition, it is also widely used in the automotive manufacturing industry, photovoltaic industry, and electronic and electrical industry.

The global float glass market has shown a steady development trend in recent years, mainly driven by the development of multiple industries such as construction, automobiles, and photovoltaics. According to CRI analysis, in developing countries and emerging markets, residential construction and infrastructure investment continue to grow, and the demand for glass curtain walls, doors and windows, and energy-saving insulating glass continues to increase, providing a broad space for the float glass market.

The European market has a high demand for green buildings and energy-saving glass, and is an important consumer area for high-end glass. The North American market is relatively stable, mainly benefiting from the support of building renovation and energy-saving policies. Driven by the accelerated infrastructure and urban construction, the Middle East and Africa have also become emerging growth points in the float glass market.

The Vietnamese float glass market has shown strong growth momentum in recent years, mainly benefiting from the rapid development of the construction industry, automobile manufacturing and renewable energy. According to CRI analysis, the rapid development of Vietnam’s construction industry has significantly boosted the demand for float glass. In 2024, Vietnam’s construction industry performed strongly, with an annual growth rate of about 7.8%, which not only exceeded the original target of 6.4% to 7.3%, but also set a new high since 2020.

In addition, as Vietnam’s local automobile manufacturing capacity improves, the demand for automobile glass is also growing. CRI predicts that with the further implementation of green building standards, the increase in automobile localization rate and the continuous implementation of renewable energy projects in the future, the market demand for float glass in Vietnam will continue to maintain steady growth.

The production system of float glass in Vietnam has gradually developed in recent years and has formed a certain local manufacturing capacity. However it is still dominated by low- and medium-end products, and still relies on imports to meet the market demand for high-end float glass. According to CRI analysis, Vietnam’s current float glass manufacturing technology is still lagging behind mature markets such as China and Europe, and it mainly relies on low-end and mid-range technologies.

Although the local production capacity of float glass in Vietnam has gradually increased in recent years, there is still a large gap in the market and it needs to rely on imports, especially high-end products. According to CRI data, Vietnam’s float glass imports in 2024 have exceeded US$200 million, an increase of about 12% year-on-year. The main sources of imports include the United Kingdom, Malaysia, China, South Korea, Indonesia and Thailand.

CRI predicts that with the support of government policies and the promotion of domestic and foreign investment cooperation, Vietnam’s float glass will have good growth space in the future. CRI recommends that global float glass manufacturers and related investment companies conduct timely research on the Vietnamese market and prepare for the layout of the Vietnamese float glass market. CRI’s Shanghai, China and Hanoi, Vietnam offices will help foreign companies enter the Vietnamese float glass manufacturing market.

Float glass is a type of flat glass produced by the float process. Due to its excellent optical properties, high flatness, and uniform thickness, float glass is widely used in many fields such as construction, automobile industry, home appliances and electronic products, furniture, solar energy, and public transportation.

Float glass comes in two types: clear glass and tinted glass. Most of the flat glass made from float glass is clear glass, which lets about 75% to 92% of visible light through, depending on its thickness. Tinted glass (also called heat-absorbing glass) is made by adding colorants to the batch mixture, which include bronze, gray, green, and blue. As the glass gets thicker, the density of the color increases, which can cause the glass to transmit less visible light. The light transmittance of tinted glass ranges from 14% to 83%.

According to CRI analysis, the United States, Japan, China, Germany and other countries are the main producers of float glass in the world. These countries have mature manufacturing industries and advanced industrial bases, and have strong float glass manufacturing capabilities.

North America, Europe and Asia Pacific are important consumer markets for float glass in the world. The Asia Pacific region is the world’s largest consumer market for float glass, especially India and Southeast Asian countries. Economic growth, accelerated urbanization and rapid development of the construction and automotive industries in these regions have driven high demand for float glass.

According to CRI analysis, with the rapid development of Vietnam’s construction industry, infrastructure construction and electronic product manufacturing, Vietnam’s float glass market is in a rapid growth stage. Vietnam is experiencing a rapid urbanization process, which has driven the demand for float glass in the construction and infrastructure industries.

In addition, Vietnam is one of the world’s major bases for the manufacture of electronic products, especially smartphones, televisions and computers, which has greatly driven the demand for float glass. Vietnam is one of the fastest growing countries in Southeast Asia in terms of automobile market. In particular, the manufacturing and sales of passenger cars and commercial vehicles are rising rapidly, which has directly boosted the market demand for float glass in Vietnam.

At the same time, although Vietnam’s local float glass production capacity has increased in recent years, compared with the world’s major glass manufacturing powers, Vietnam’s float glass production capacity is still relatively limited and mainly concentrated in the mid- and low-end markets, so Vietnam’s float glass products still rely heavily on imports.

According to CRI data, the total value of Vietnam’s float glass imports reached US$214 million in 2023. The market demand was even stronger in 2024. From January to November, the cumulative value of Vietnam’s float glass imports was close to US$219 million, an increase of about 11.83% compared with the import value from January to November 2023. It is expected to continue to grow in the next few years.

According to CRI analysis, the main import sources of Vietnamese float glass include China, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, the United States, South Korea and other places. Malaysia has become the most important import source of Vietnamese float glass due to its geographical proximity and high cost-effectiveness. The main import sources of Vietnamese float glass from 2021 to 2024 were the United Kingdom, Malaysia and South Korea.

According to CRI analysis, the main companies exporting this product to Vietnam include PILKINGTON TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT, CORNING SPECIALTY MATERIALS INC, XINYI ENERGY SMART MALAYSIA SDN and other companies. The main importers of Vietnamese float glass in 2021-2024 are mainly foreign-funded enterprises in the Vietnamese market, including FIRST SOLAR VIET NAM MANUFACTURING, SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS VIETNAM, INTOPS VIETNAM CO LTD and other companies.

Vietnam’s float glass market is expanding with the rapid growth of the construction, infrastructure and electronics manufacturing industries, especially the growing demand for float glass in the automotive, electronics and home sectors. According to CRI analysis, Vietnam’s local float glass production capacity is limited, and Vietnam will still import a certain amount of float glass every year in the next few years. CRI recommends that global glass manufacturers should investigate the Vietnamese market as soon as possible to discover business opportunities in the Vietnamese float glass market.
