The ultra-thin glass market in MEA is expected to grow from US$ 251.34 million in 2021 to US$ 504.12 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2021 to 2028.



Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and UAE are major economies in MEA. Automotive industry raising the demand is the major factor driving the growth of the MEA ultra-thin glass market. In the automotive industry, ultra-thin glass is widely used in car interiors, sensors, and touch screen panels, etc. Increasing consumer requirements for attractive car interiors with touch screens and digital instruments are creating demand for ultra-thin glasses. The reduction in the weight of a car results in achieving better fuel efficiency and also reduces carbon footprints. Thus, there is a rising demand for lightweight cars. Ultra-thin glass is widely used for automotive glazing, which results in the overall weight reduction of a car. Thus, the rapidly developing automotive industry coupled with the growing demand for ultra-thin glass from the industry would create lucrative opportunities for the ultra-thin glass market growth.

In MEA, South Africa and Israel recorded the highest number of COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths. According to the International Finance Corporation, the COVID-19 pandemic has a severe impact on the economy of MEA as it declined the oil production, tourism, and remittances. The region comprises many growing economies, which are prospective markets for ultra-thin glass vendors. The pandemic has significantly slowed down the growth of the ultra-thin glass market in the region due to negative impact on the growth of a few industries, such as automotive.

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the MEA ultra-thin glass market. The MEA ultra-thin glass market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
