Coated glass is a special type of glass product that improves its optical properties by coating a thin film of metal, alloy, or metal compound on its surface. The following is a compilation of information related to coated glass:

Classification of coated glass: mainly divided into heat reflective glass, low-E glass, conductive film glass, etc.

Industry development cycle: The coated glass industry goes through the initial stage, growth stage, maturity stage, and decline stage. At present, China's coated glass industry is in a growth period, with a significant market size in 2021 and expected to maintain growth in 2023.

Regional distribution: In China, enterprises in the coated glass industry are mainly concentrated in the East China region, followed by the South China, Central China, North China, and Western regions.

Market size forecast: It is expected that by 2030, the output value of China's coated glass industry will achieve significant growth.

Coated glass production capacity: As of 2021, China's coated glass production capacity has reached 665.3 million square meters, demonstrating steady growth in industry capacity.

Penetration rate: The penetration rate of Low-E coated glass in China is currently less than 10%, which has significant room for improvement compared to developed countries in Europe and America.

Import and export situation: The export volume of coated glass in China is much larger than the import volume. In 2022, the export volume has significantly increased, while the import volume has significantly decreased.

Industry policy: The Chinese government has introduced multiple policies to promote the development of energy-saving building glass. With the gradual improvement of building energy-saving standards, the types of glass used in new buildings are changing.

Industry chain: The upstream of the coated glass industry is mainly composed of raw material suppliers such as soda ash and silica sand, while the downstream application market is mainly in the real estate market, especially in the field of architectural glass.

Industry competition pattern: In China, the production capacity of coated glass is mainly concentrated in East China, North China, Central China, and South China, which are similar to the distribution of float glass production capacity, showing regional industrial agglomeration
