Introduction
The global flat glass market operates in a cyclic pattern, according to the industry experts, as the demand for flat glass increases in the times of expansionary economic conditions and falls during the periods of financial crunch. However, despite the worldwide recession, the demand for glass has shown a constant growth, mainly due to the rising demand for building glass and automotive glass during 2000-2009 both in terms of production and consumption.

The worldwide market for flat glass is segmented on the basis of regions and usage. The regional segment comprises Europe, North America, South East Asia, Former Soviet Union, Japan, China and the Rest of World. The usage segment is further sub-divided into construction market, automotive market and specialty market.

The global flat glass market is dominated by four major players which collectively represents 60% of the global glass production. However, the market share of these players differs from one region to the other in terms of production as some have more presence in one region while less presence in other regions. For example, Saint Gobain is the largest player in Europe whereas it does not have dominance in other regions.
