The Mexico flat glass market is being driven by the increasing demand for float glass in the region. Due to its superior properties, high quality and structural flexibility, float glass is a desirable material for buildings, vehicles, and a variety of other applications. Float glass is also easier to cut, construct, is less breakable, is clear and transparent, and has less bubbles. These properties lead to its increased demand across various end-use industries, such as construction, automotive, and electronics. Float glass can also be processed further to manufacture different forms of specialized glass, such as toughened glass, laminated safety glass and soundproof glass. The market for float glass in Mexico is thus expected to witness significant growth in the forecast period due to rapid technological advancements and the introduction of new innovations by the key players.

Another important factor contributing to rising demand for flat glass is increasing environmental concern and growing electricity demand, which has led to an increase in the number of solar energy installations and a reduction in the cost of such installations, further aiding the growth of the market.
