The demand for float glass is growing as it transitions from a basic construction material to a critical platform material that enhances safety, efficiency, and performance across various industries. Float glass is scalable, has consistent quality, and can be used with other processes, such as tempering, lamination, coating, and insulation; hence, it is unavoidable as end-use industries demand greater functionality. Growth in the building & construction industry is driven by the need for durable, safe, and energy-efficient infrastructure and buildings, with greater penetration of glass in facades, windows, transport hubs, and buildings. In the automotive & transportation sector, the demand is driven by increased vehicle production, higher glass content per vehicle, and demand for safety- and comfort-enhancing glazing products, including acoustic glass and heat-resistant glass. Solar energy has significant structural growth potential, with float glass a fundamental element of photovoltaic panels, and global energy transition policies are rapidly advancing solar system installations in both utility and rooftop applications. Other end-use industries include electronics, appliances, industrial equipment, security glazing, and marine and rail transportation, which need flat glasses that have optical clarity, strength, and resilience to mechanical and environmental stress. In all these industries, the move toward higher performance levels, regulatory demands, and product life cycles is augmenting dependence on float glass as a starting material, which further confirming its long-term growth trend.
In terms of value, the automotive & transportation segment accounted for the second-largest market share in 2024.
The automotive & transportation segment will have the second-highest share of the float glass market in 2024, as it will have the highest value density and steady demand for processed safety glass. In the automotive applications, the float glass must be transformed into tempered and laminated glass with high standards of safety, optical clarity, and durability that add a lot of value to the raw glass. There is an increased amount of consumption of glass per vehicle with the introduction of modern vehicles having a bigger area of glass per unit, which comprises larger windshields, sidelites, rear windows, and panoramic roofs. Besides this, an increase in the need to have comfort and security features like acoustic glazing, ultraviolet protection, and heat-reflecting glasses is driving the utilization of special coatings and laminates based on float glass. The stable market of passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, rail coaches, and specialty transport vehicles also creates a stable baseline demand during fluctuations of the construction market. The value is further trained by electrification and design modification in vehicles since most electric cars employ glazing to enhance thermal efficiency and passenger comfort. Though the volume is still less than the construction, the average selling price is much higher, the regulatory compliance is strict, and the processing intensity is high, which makes the contribution of automotive & transportation to the float glass market value the second largest in 2024.
In terms of value, the tinted float glass segment accounted for the largest market share in 2024.
In terms of value, the tinted float glass segment accounted for the largest market share in 2024, given that it attracts a higher price and is a frequent application in high-value end use. Solar heating, glare, and better appearance are the practical aspects of tinted float glass, which makes it a choice in commercial architecture, automobile window glass, and high-end residential construction. The tinting of the process is differentiated by the value added over clear float glass, making it able to offer a higher average selling price and has a wide range of application compatibility. Colored glass is widely used in the construction of office buildings, airports, shopping complexes, and hotel facades, curtain walls, and windows, where aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency are paramount. The automotive industry also uses tinted glass in sidelite and rear windows to add comfort to passengers, minimize heat accumulation in the cabin, and maximize privacy. Growing interest in energy efficiency and thermal comfort, especially in warm climate areas, is fuelling the need to develop tinted glass as a less expensive substitute to more elaborate coated products. The tinted float glass is the highest valued product with the largest installed base of the market, as it is widely accepted in various industries with good pricing power and a high level of widespread use in the market.
In terms of value, the
The segment with the thickness of
Europe accounted for the second-largest market share in the float glass market in 2024.
Europe occupied the second position in the global float glass market in 2024 in terms of value due to its developed construction market, good automobile market, and extensive proportions of value-added glass products. Europe is very much conscious of energy efficiency, sustainability, and building performance, and hence the demand for glazing solutions based on float glass, such as laminated, tempered, low-emissivity, and solar control glass. These products fetch a premium and realize more value even though the growth of the volume is moderate. Europe also has a well-established automotive manufacturing base with demand rooted in the production of high-quality safety glass that is applied in passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and in rail transportation. The activity of renovation and refurbishment across residential and commercial buildings also contributes to the stable demand since old buildings are developed to comply with the current energy requirements. Moreover, Europe boasts of an effective regulatory body, which facilitates sustainable construction and vehicle safety to use high-quality glass products. The availability of major float glass manufacturing industry and advanced processing facilities increases the value capture in the region. Asia Pacific may have the largest market share, but the high specification application and premium pricing of the Europe market made it the second-largest market by value in 2024.

Tengo varias preguntas sobre esto a ver si me podiais aclarar:
-¿Puedo hacer un ingreso regular de 800 euros y me cobran 0euos de comisiones y mto.?
-¿Puedo sacar el dinero cuando quiera?,¿todo ó tengo entendido que hay que mantener un mínimo de 100 euros los 30 meses?
-No necesito pero me obligan a sacar una tarjeta de débito que me cuesta 11 euros el primer año y 22 euros la renovación, también otra de credito que me cuesta 0 euros el primer año y 35 euros la renovación.
¿Hay que mantenerlas 13 meses?
¿Puedo cancelar alguna de ellas desde el principio?
¿Puedo cancelar alguna de ellas antes de la renovación?
¿Hay alguna tarjeta de credito más barata?
Aparte de la cuenta nómina he visto que también que para que te den la tv también se puede sacar una cuenta tarifa plana básica o personal, ¿sabeis algo de estas cuentas?¿que requisitos tienen?
Muchas gracias a todos por responder
Yo fui a informarme y te cuento. Únicamente admiten los ingresos regulares en el caso de que seas autónomo. Te abren una cuenta Tarifa Plana Cero que está exenta de comisiones y presenta alguna ventaja más. Sobre dejar un mínimo de saldo en la cuenta no es necesario, pero sí te obligan a mantener varias tarjetas durante los 30 meses con un coste aproximado de 100 euros anuales.
hola buenas!
me llamo javi y estoy dudando de que banco, me puede dar mas beficios, sin sorpresas por domiciliar la nomina, ya que llevo años en la caixa y no me da nada ningun beneficio. es mas me rechazan los prestamos que solicito, ni siquiera una targeta de credito, por alegan de que siempre esta a cero la cuenta, yo cuando cobro la nomina dejo el dinero para los pagos, y saco el resto, pues no me fio, de que un dia me quede sin dinero, ya que esta todo muy mal, corre riesgo mi dinero o mis ahorros en el banco?? muchas gracias y un cordial saludo.
javi
NO TE EXTRAÑE QUE NO TE DEN LOS PTMOS, PORQUE LO QUE VEN ES QUE NO TIENES CAPACIDAD DE AHORRO PORQUE SIEMPRE DEJAS LA CTA. EN MINIMOS, ASI NINGUN BANCO TE LO VA A CONCEDER. TAMBIEN ES VERDAD QUE LA CAIXA, COMO TANTAS OTRAS CAJAS, TIENE EL PUÑO CERRADO PARA LOS RIESGOS, PARA REMONTAR. NO TE PREOCUPES, QUE POR UNA NOMINA NO CREO QUE NINGUN BANCO SE COJA LAS MANOS. LOS QUE SE TIENEN QUE PREOCUPAR SON LOS QUE TIENEN DÉPÓSITOS Y FONDOS EN BANCOS DE DUDOSA ACTIVIDAD. LA GENTE SE PIENSA QUE PORQUE LES DEN UN 7% YA ES UN GRAN BANCO Y SE EQUIVOCAN. LO QUE LES PASA ES QUE EL BANCO DE ESPAÑA LES PRESTA EL DINERO MAS CARO Y POR ESO OPTAN POR CONSEGUIRLO EN EL MERCADO MONETARIO, Y SI EL BANCO DE ESPAÑA NO SE FIA DE ELLOS, VA Y SE FIA LA GENTE. QUE LOS BANCOS NOES LA ADMON PUBLICA, ABRAN OS OJOS.
Hola , cuando vallais al banco queos dejen lo que hay que pagar de irpf y de iva sobre el valor de la tele ya que en la mayoria de bancos esto no lo dicen y luego llagan las sorpresas .A mi ya me ha pasado con la promoción del portatil y nunca me hablaros de esto . Cuidado
Yo he estado calculando y la tele entre unas cosas y otras te sale sobre unos 250euros que tampoco regalan tanto .Hay oficinas en las que han dado la occión de poner un dinero a plazo fijo a 12meses de 9300euros o 6800euros a 18 meses.
No es ningún chollo. Te obligan a contratar dos tarjetas de crédito que tienes que pagar porque las tienes que mantener 13 meses por lo menos y además llevan unos costes desproporcionados si las utilizas. En total, no usando las tarjetas y anulándolas una vez cumplidos los 13 meses puedes ahorrar unos 38 euros con respecto al precio de ese televisor en una gran superficie. Y además luego vendrá que te cobran para hacienda la retención correspondiente, por lo que probablemente incluso en las mejores condiciones te cueste más que si ahorras un poco y lña compras directamente.
Creó que teneis toda la razón, que aqui no te regalan nada, ya que a mí me paso con unas sartenes que regalaban el banco bilbao, que al final entre el irpf y el descuento de Hacienda, al final me salieron caras, así es que no os tomen el pelo, que al final siempre esta la letra pequeña que es la que nos joroba, por no decir otra cosa.
Yo saque el portatil y ahora me he sacado la TV LCD 32. Estas promos no hay que declararlas. No es obligado domiciliar nomina. Si, meter en la cuenta 800€ todos los meses en un margen de 10 dias. Cero matacero, pero cero,cero, cero de gastos de mantenimiento, ni por recibos, ni por el correo a casa, ni por transfer. Las tarjets gratis el 1er año. Resto fuera. Dadas de baja Menos la de debito. Banesto no pierde nada, ganar, gana clientes que es el proposito de esta promo. Precio de portatil y tv 32 en mercao unos 900€ los 2. En banest 197€. Los hay mejores, nos ha jodio! portatiles a 1200€, TV LCD 32 a 1000€. Señores, son lentejas. Relacion calida-precio-promo es cojonud…….Un saludit a los viandantes.
hola , no se si llegara mi comentario pero os voi a esplicar. esto es el cuento de la abuela. mira yo tengo el portatil. y he cogio tab la tele, pero sabeis ke?, me ha pasado de todo. os esplico. primero me cobran 74 euros y 25 euros de unas tarjetas que yo no las he visto aparecer por mi casa , me cabreo con el banco. llamo y pido esplicaciones. me dicen que van en la promocion, nunca jamas nadie me informo de las tarjetas, no me devuelven el dinero. me cabreo y me dicen que llame aun numero de tefono para darlas de baja, se pasan los dias, intentamos darlas de baja. largas y larga, que si este numero de tefono que si el otro bla bla bla. conseguimos hablar y nos dicen que tenemos que cambiar el contrato a tarifa plana o no se ke historias, llamando al banco se pasan los dias, largas y largas. me cabreo y estoi por suspender todo, me dicen que si lo quiero cambiar y dar de baja las tarjetas que nunca he tenido. tengo que pagar comisiones cada seis meses de doce y pico euros, y que si no quiero que me cobren comisiones tengo que ir todos los meses al banco a hacerlo yo, ufffffffffff.aun hay mas. me dan de baja y me hacen la tarifa plana, se equivocan un monton de veces. me hacen pasar muchos cabreos.y al final cuando llego a casa me han cobrado 25, 50 euros. y llamo por telefono y se lo digo , me dicen claro por dar de baja la otra cuenta , la madre que los pario. ladrones. o sea os digo que la tele no sale regalada, se la cobran y muy bien cobrada , nadie da nada por nada. en cuento termine de pagar lo que debo quito todas las cuentas del banesto.espero que alguien me lea y que me conteste gracias .
Banesto ha jodido a mi marido y a un amigo tambien. Para mi, despues de Banco de Andalucía son los peores. Y quieran creerlo o no ni la television ni el portátil te lo regalan.. como no cumplas cualquiera de las reglas te sancionan con 300 y pico de euros.. porque nos hemos mudado de casa y los recibos domiciados se cortaron «temporalmente» la sancion fue de mas de 300 euros.. y el cabreo q te llevas cuando ves lo q te han descontado y luego para ir a reclamarlos.. y como te tratan !! en fin.. espero que Banesto sea lo primero en undirse en el fin del mundo!!
CHOLLO!!!!!!!!!JAJAJAJAJA…….NO ES NINGUN CHOLLO!!!!!!! te cobran 100 € de gastos de manipulacion, mas 150 € en tarjetas durante 2 años, mas 6 € mensuales de mantenimiento de cuenta durante 30 meses, total que pagas 630 Euros por un ordenador o una TV que su valor seguro que no llega a 500 €. Y encima si vas a cancelar la cuenta cuando cumples los 30 meses requeridos te hacen esperar dos horas para decirte que no tienen linea de telefono para dar de baja la cuenta, cosa que no para nunca cuando vas a contratarlo. Y del trato que dispensan….., es el mismo que si vas con un fajo de billetes de 500 € por los CO-JONES
Banesto «premia», menuda falacia…
No hay ningún banco que premie a nadie.
BANESTO NECESITA NUESTRAS NÓMINAS, Y EN CUANTO VAS UN POCO JUSTO, COMO BUENOS JUDÍOS Y ÁVAROS QUE SON, TE ACOSAN Y MACHACAN, Y TE SACAN HASTA LAS ENTRAÑAS EN COMISIONES.
DESPUÉS EL ESTADO APOYA A LOS BANCOS, CON LA EXCUSA DE QUE SI CAEN LOS BANCOS CAEMOS TODOS. LOS BANCOS NECESITAN UN BOICOT DE VEZ EN CUANDO, PARA QUE NO NOS RESTREGUEN POR LA CARA SUS BENEFICIOS.
POR CIERTO, LO QUE MÁS FASTIDIA A UN BANCO ES UNA RECLAMACIÓN EN LA OFICINA DEL CONSUMIDOR Y OTRA AL BANCO DE ESPAÑA.
ES POR DAR PISTAS…
