Executive Summary

High-strength glass (HSG) is a category of glass characterized by high tensile or compressive strength. The higher mechanical strength is due to the glass composition and/or the utilization of additional process steps that either create a glass sandwich structure by the addition of one or more polymer interlayers or toughen the glass through a thermal or chemical treatment.

The publisher has identified seven main sectors in which high-strength glass finds current and potential applications: aerospace and defence, construction, electronics and optoelectronics, energy, life sciences, mechanical/chemical, and transportation.

This study provides an updated review of HSG technology, including materials, properties, configurations, fabrication processes, and applications. It also offers a detailed market analysis for high-strength glass by segment (configuration, composition, application, and region), describing technical aspects and trends that will affect future growth of this market.
