Flat glass term refers to glass produced in flat form, in spite of the kind of manufacturing process involved.  There are main four sub-segments found within the glass sector such as fiber, container, and flat and specialty glass. Flat glasses are obtained from the controlled chemical and thermal reactions to bring toughness in the structural formation. In spite of this, flat glass is very supple and customizable. There is growing demand fromthe  construction industry for flat glass because of its huge range of utilities from safety applications to solar protection and heat insulation to soundproofing. Self-cleaning glass is the trend in flat glass.

Flat glass is hugely used in windows for aesthetic as well as functional purposes to allow customers to have clear sights looking out of the window and similarly protect them from UV radiations. Flat glass has many benefits as its ultraviolet light removes the organic dirt in sunlight.  During rain time, dirt is also washed off the windows without leaving streaks. During rain time water forms a film, which covers the whole glass surface instead of forming droplets as on conventional glass. Hence, the self-cleaning quality of flat glass provides best visibility as compared to conventional glass during rain time. The market is competitive enough and fragmented because of the existence of numerous industry players operating in the market. There are several companies, which are started implementing strategic initiatives for the recovery of losses because of COVID-19 and strengthening their place in the market.
