Scratch resistant glass refers to a kind of safety glass coated with a hard protective layer. It contains a chemical compound coating that resists scratches and is lightweight, strong, and durable. It is commonly available in sapphire and chemically strengthened glass variants. Scratch resistant glass is widely used in cabinets, sliding doors, smartphones, kitchen, wall panels, lifts, partition doors, glass furniture, tablets, bathroom, and laboratory fittings. Scratch resistant glass acts as a protective layer and exhibits high strength, temperature stability, rigidity, flexibility, and durability. In comparison to regular glass, scratch resistant glass has an increased lifespan and maintains its original elegance.
The increasing demand for smartphones across the globe is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Scratch resistant glass is widely used on phones and tablets to protect the phone display against drops and other damage. Additionally, the significant growth in the construction industry is favoring the market growth. Since scratch resistant glass is commonly used in numerous interior and exterior elements of various structures, such as doors, windows, cabinets, and elevators, this is acting as a major growth-inducing factor. Various product innovations, such as the development of lightweight and thinner scratch resistant glass used in sunglasses, are providing a significant boost to the market growth. In line with this, the widespread product adoption in the automotive industry in manufacturing windshields and sunroofs is positively impacting the market growth. Apart from this, the rising consumer expenditure power, increasing infrastructural development, and widespread product utilization in the manufacturing of smart wearables are anticipated to drive the market toward growth further.
