Inquire before buying. 

Restraints 

  • High Production Costs: The production of high-quality glass substrates, especially ultra-thin variants, requires advanced technology and materials, resulting in high manufacturing costs. In 2023, Corning reported that the development of ultra-thin glass substrates for flexible displays faced cost barriers, delaying mass-market production. 
  • Fragility of Glass: Despite advancements in durability, glass substrates remain fragile compared to alternatives like plastic, which is more resistant to impact. This fragility poses challenges in handling and transportation, leading to potential material loss and increased costs. 
  • Environmental Regulations: Stringent environmental regulations regarding the disposal of waste and emissions from glass substrate production processes pose challenges for manufacturers. In 2023, Asahi Glass had to invest heavily in upgrading its facilities to comply with new environmental standards in Japan, raising operational costs.
