Global $4.89 Billion Scratch-Resistant Glass Market to 2028

Dublin, May 31, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Scratch-Resistant Glass Market Size, Share & Analysis, By Type (Chemically Strengthened Glass, Synthetic Sapphire), By Application (Display Screens), By Hardness Scale (7 to 8.5, Above 8.5), By End-Use Industry (Smartphone & Tablets), And By Region, Global Forecast To 2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global scratch-resistant glass market size is expected to reach USD 4,896.8 Million in 2028, and register a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period.

Global scratch-resistant glass market revenue growth is due to growing demand and adoption of scratch-resistant glasses for applications in display screens and mobile phone body panels. Rapidly growing industries such as smartphones and automotive globally and need for scratch-resistant displays to protect from any damages are major factors driving growth of the global scratch-resistant glass market.

Major players are investing in production of lower versions of these glasses to offer glasses with enhanced strength for protection against scratches. This in turn is expected to drive growth of the scratch-resistant glasses market. However, lamination is a cost-effective lighter-weight alternative to scratch-resistant glasses, which could hamper market growth to some extent.
