Asia-Pacific Market Witnessing Robust Demand for Glass Substrates in Electronics and Medical Sectors
Glass substrates are thin layers of glass used as the foundation material in the manufacture of semiconductor devices such as integrated circuits (ICs). They are typically made of soda lime glass and can range in thickness from a few hundredths of a millimeter to several millimetres. Glass substrates are commonly used in applications that require a flat, non-porous surface, such as the manufacture of LCDs, solar cells, and touch panels. As the number of electronic devices produced increases, so does the demand for glass substrates. This is because of their superior electrical properties, as well as their ability to protect electronic components and help maintain device accuracy.
The report "Glass Substrate Market by Type (Borosilicate, Silicon, Ceramic, and Fused Silica/Quartz-Based Glass Substrates), End-Use Industry (Electronics, Automotive, Medical, Aerospace & Defense, Solar), and Region - Global Forecast", The glass substrate market was projected to reach USD 1.97 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.7%.
