3 Reasons Why the Middle East’s Glass Sector is Advancing!

The Middle East has been experiencing huge economic and infrastructural advancements for years. The explosion in population has resulted in an increased housing, commercial and residential space.

The hot and humid climate in the region has compelled architects to construct spaces with glass facades that not only help natural sunlight to pass through but also act as an insulator. Thanks to new-age technologies!?

Due to the best glass factories and glass manufacturing sectors in the region, glass is now used in many different industries such as packaging, construction, automotive, energy and others.??

In this article, we will discuss the reason behind the glass sectors' growth in the Middle East, let's begin.

Some of the factors are as follows

1. Region's Rapid Urbanization: As reported in the Blue Wave consulting report, the period between 2024 and 2029 is going to be extremely favourable for the flat glass industry in the Middle East region - thanks to the big constructions, sustainability and energy-efficient projects coming in.?
2. Vast Projects: Over the years, the Middle East has been looked upon as a hub of architectural wonders that have innovatively used glass that is hard to imagine. We have covered this topic in one of our LinkedIn write-ups here, https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/uaes-smart-city-vision-boon-glass-industry-global-glass-show/.?
3. Transition Towards Clean and Green Energy: We all know that for a very long period, Middle Eastern countries have relied on oil and gas for their energy resources. But today, thanks to the latest technologies, we have great solar parks including Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, Enpark in Dubai, UAE and the Shams Maan project in Jordan.?Glass is important for solar panels because it keeps them safe from dirt, water and moisture and hence, glass' demands have surged in the region.

To conclude, the Middle East is seeing tremendous growth in the field of glass industry and we thank none but the emerging glass factories and glass manufacturers in the region.
