Flat Glass Manufacturing in the UK - Industry Market Research Report


Flat Glass Manufacturing in the UK

Flat glass is integral to the construction of buildings and vehicles and is also an important input for some appliances and furnishings. The manufacture of flat glass in the UK is dominated by three global companies: Pilkington, Saint-Gobain Glass and Guardian Industries. The financial power of these companies and the substantial investment required to set up flat glass manufacturing operations make it difficult for new manufacturers to enter the industry. The volume of glass produced domestically has declined, as multinational owners of UK flat glass producers have shifted more operations overseas.

Companies in this industry manufacture flat glass. Most of this is float glass but some is rolled glass. Small amounts are drawn and blown flat glass. The industry manufactures wired, coloured and tinted glass.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
