COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The outbreak of COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on the worldwide economy, causing financial losses in the global construction glass industry as well. Due to the widespread cancellation of construction projects, the construction glass market experienced a significant drop. In addition, the construction of high-rise buildings was also suspended in developed and emerging economies, resulting in a drop in demand for construction materials. Furthermore, a large gap in supply chains, as well as the closure of manufacturing units during the crisis, has resulted in a decrease in the market value.

Regional Analysis

Asia-Pacific, followed by Europe, is forecast to hold the highest market share due to the increasing number of construction activities. In addition, the market is forecast to witness tremendous growth due to rising smart city initiatives and growing urbanization. In addition, the growing living standards of the population and increasing employment rate will benefit the Asia-Pacific construction glass market during the forecast period.
