Global Ultra-Thin Glass Market Projected to Exceed US$ 29.5 billion by 2033 with a 10.7% CAGR, Fueled by Demand for Flexible Screens and Foldable Cell Phones

Ultra-thin Glass Market

The global ultra-thin glass market size is anticipated to see a CAGR of 10.7% from 2023 to 2033. By 2033, it is set to exceed a valuation of US$ 29.5 billion. The market is expected to be worth US$ 10.7 billion in 2023.

Ultra-thin glass can be made to be far more flexible than regular glass. They should be perfect for flexible screens, wearable technology, and cell phones. The recent millennial craze for foldable cell phones could boost demand.

The design of new foldable cell phones is such that they can appeal to buyers who want distinctive items aesthetically. Millennials who wish to differentiate themselves from traditional flat phones are anticipated to buy these.

By 2033, smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung and Oppo are anticipated to release several foldable phone models. This is because these businesses frequently work to be on the cutting edge of technology advancements. Additionally, it is anticipated that this will enhance the brand’s reputation.

Several people view foldable cell phones as a status symbol as they are typically more expensive than traditional flat-screen phones. Hence, it is likely that luxury companies will sell these phones.

For instance, the much anticipated foldable smartphone from OnePlus, the OnePlus Fold, will soon be available. In 2023, the company might release its first folding product.

Even though OnePlus hasn’t formally confirmed the launch, the upcoming phone will undoubtedly go on sale. It might be able to compete with seasoned rivals such as Motorola and Samsung, who have been active in the foldable phone sector for years.

Remote locations and non-metros are likelier than metro areas to adopt Samsung’s foldable and flip phones. Buying these cell phones has become easier as additional financing options are accessible.

Samsung claimed in August 2023 that 1,50,000 pre-orders for its fifth-generation foldable smartphones, unveiled in India in July, had been placed. While the Galaxy Z Flip5 is marketed to a younger audience, the Galaxy Z Fold5 is intended for business users.

Due to their affordability, materials such as polymer and plastic were employed in older flat phones. However, as ultra-thin glass is more durable than the alternative, smartphone manufacturers use it in foldable phones. This is designed to withstand frequent unfolding and folding without causing screen damage.
