Float glass industry in India Overview
In India, the float glass industry is a relatively new industry. 15 years ago, in India, the first float line available. During this period, Indias rapid growth for the float glass manufacturing
an important industry in emerging countries. Today, India has six float glass production line, in addition to five in the construction of new production lines. Everyone knows that the prosperity of the construction industry is at the end of the last century 90s leading manufacturer of float glass. India
ordinary plate glass and low-quality float glass history of the years. Glass deep-processing industry is almost negligible, because the vast majority of glass to the basic way and a single application such as die-casting glass install s first float glass plant was put into production. Since then, the float and ordinary flat glass production capacity has increased year by year.
vis-à-vis the past few decades template from the flat surface of the production of the old way of casting glass, float glass technology, production and use of glass Indians bring about epoch-making changes. From the size and thickness are limited to the poor quality of ordinary glass technologically advanced float glass transition, India spent just ten years. Overall, from 2000 to 2007, the Indian float glass industry, the growth rate of more than 90%, average annual growth rate of over 11%. Per capita consumption of glass in 1999 from 0.41 kilograms of rapid growth for 2007 of 0.8 kilograms. In the past five years, India needs an average annual growth rate of the flat glass 12% -15%. Float glass and general flat glass market share of 89% and 11%. In any case, is still a large proportion of ordinary plate glass and low-quality level of float glass production capacity will be phased out and will be replaced by high-quality float glass.
market segmentation
In India, the construction industry and automotive industry is the plate glass of the two main consumer areas, these two industries over the past five years has shown a high-speed growth. According to statistics, India 83% of the glass used in the construction industry, 15% for the automotive industry, the remaining 2 percent for other industries, such as furniture, mirror and picture frame uses. In January 2007 to 11 months, the Indian auto industry growth rate as high as 18.6 percent. The construction industry annual growth rate of about 12%.
India exports about 13,000 tons per month of glass products to the Middle East, Africa, Europe and South America and other places. Indias domestic float glass market demand for high-speed growth in export volume, resulting in the past few years by the sharp decline in nearly 60%.
major producer
India float glass products manufacturers, including three foreign joint ventures and local enterprises and an Indian.

new float manufacturers
In addition to the above four, a number of domestic enterprises have also started to invest founder float glass manufacturing facility. Float their production lines are under construction. Each of the three manufacturers of float glass is the glass industry before the relevant counterparts.
GoldPlus
GoldPlus Glass Co., Ltd. is the Indian capital of New Delhi, a glass processing factory, in the deep processing of glass industry in a large market share. The companys CEO declared that they Roorkie region is located in the latest GoldPlus float glass factory in June 2008 will be the beginning of production. The plant may be arranged to float in June that any day of a suitable ignition production. The first phase of the project cost budget of approximately four billion Indian rupees (equivalent to RMB 7 billion). The float glass production line of the designed capacity of 460 tons for Nissan. The production line will produce a thickness of 2mm-19mm ordinary transparent glass and green glass. The majority of the glass factory machinery imported from Europe, the United States and China Yaohua Glass Group.
SejalGlass
located in Bombay (Mumbai, India is located in the west coast region) SejalGlass is India, another major manufacturer of high value-added glass. The companys ambitious plan to construct a float glass production line, the float glass factory is located in Bharuch, the project has started and is expected to close in March 2009 to begin production, mainly the production of transparent float glass and stained glass.
HNG
HNG (HindustanNationalGlassCompany, Indias float glass production line capacity of 600 tons day. HNG in a press release claiming that the new plant will be the necessary equipment imported from Europe.
current capacity VS market demand
back in early 2006, the industry had gone through the original glass problem of excess production capacity. In the next few years, with the current investment in float glass production projects one after another, the problem will become increasingly serious. In 2007 the surplus production capacity is four times higher than in 2006, will increase in 2008 for six times s cumulative profit still showed a loss of status.
future prospects
the construction industry and automotive industry is the plate glass of the two main areas of consumption. In India, nearly 8,000 million square feet of land is zoned for large shopping malls, if the special economic zones and all the office buildings are taken into account, India glass industry breeds a tremendous business opportunities. Glass revolution will take place at the same time in the automotive industry. 2012, the automotive industry is expected to average annual growth rate of more than 15%.
In short, to meet the Indian glass industry in the future road will not always be smooth sailing all the way, such as the original glass of excess production capacity (as well as glass deep-processing projects a surplus), Chinas glass industry to develop healthily.
on the problem of excess production capacity, the analysts believe that, at least until 2009, India will still be far greater than the supply of glass market demand. Excess production capacity, increased competition, product standards is an urgent need to improve the glass industry in the future development of Indias real challenge.(Date:2008-12-25)
印度浮法玻璃业发展现状及未来前景
印度浮法玻璃业概况
在印度，浮法玻璃工业是一个相对崭新的行业。15年前，印度国内首条浮法线问世。在此期间，印度快速成长为浮法玻璃制造
业一个重要的新兴国家。如今，印度已拥有六条浮法玻璃生产线，另外还有五条在建的新生产线。谁都知道建筑业的繁荣是上世纪90年代末印度玻璃市场需求快速增长的主因，由此导致浮法玻璃出口大幅减少，也因此吸引了一些跨国玻璃企业前来投资设厂如今他们已经成为印度主要的浮法玻璃制造商。
印度使用普通平板玻璃和劣质浮法玻璃的历史已有经年。玻璃深加工产业几乎可以忽略不计，因为绝大多数的玻璃以基本和单一的方式应用安装比如压铸玻璃(CastingGlass)。直到1992年，印度才开始生产普通平板玻璃，同时开始进口数量有限的浮法玻璃。1993年，印度{dy}个浮法玻璃厂建成投产。此后，浮法及普通平板玻璃产能逐年增加。
相对于过去数十年从平坦的模板表面生产压铸玻璃片的老旧方式，浮法玻璃技术为印度人生产和使用玻璃带来划时代的巨变。从尺寸和厚度都很有限的劣质普通玻璃到技术先进的浮法玻璃的过渡，印度仅仅花了十年时间。总的来说，从2000年到2007年间，印度浮法玻璃业增长率超过90%，年均增长速度超过11%。人均玻璃消费量从1999年的0.41千克快速增长为2007年的0.8千克。在过去的五年，印度的平板玻璃需求年均增长12%-15%。浮法玻璃和普通平板玻璃的市场占有率分别为89%和11%。无论如何，目前仍占有较大比例的普通平板玻璃和低质量等级的浮法玻璃的产能将会被逐步淘汰且将由高品质浮法玻璃取而代之。
市场细分
在印度，建筑业和汽车业是平板玻璃的两个主要消费领域，这两个行业在过去的五年里一直呈高速增长态势。据统计，印度83%的玻璃应用于建筑工业，15%用于汽车工业，其余的2%用于其它各种行业，比如家具、制镜和相框用途等。2007年1月至11月间，印度汽车业增长速度高达18.6%。建筑业年均增长速度约12%。
印度每月出口约13000吨玻璃产品到中东，非洲，欧洲和南美等地。印度国内浮法玻璃高速增长的市场需求导致出口量在过去的数年里剧减近60%。
主要生产商
印度浮法玻璃产品的主要生产商包括三家外国合资企业和一家印度本地企业。
旭硝子玻璃(印度)公司(AsahiIndiaGlassLtd.)
旭硝子玻璃(印度)公司的两家工厂日产500吨和700吨。旭硝子玻璃(印度)公司成立于1994年12月，最早由日本的Asahi集团和印度Tata集团共同出资创立。2003年，Asahi集团撤资，改由汽车玻璃生产商旭硝子安全玻璃(印度)公司接管。该合并后的公司实体以旭硝子玻璃(印度)公司(AsahiIndiaGlassLtd.)为名。该公司于2007年1月1日在印度北部的Uttaranchal地区开建一座日产750吨的浮法玻璃新厂。
圣戈班玻璃(印度)公司(Saint-GobainGlassIndiaLtd.)
圣戈班玻璃(印度)公司的两家工厂日产550吨和700吨。该公司成立于2000年，是印度产能{zd0}的浮法玻璃企业。圣戈班玻璃(印度)公司是圣戈班集团旗下的全资子公司。
顾加瑞特-加迪安公司(GujaratGuardianLtd.)
顾加瑞特-加迪安公司是sg在印度开设浮法玻璃厂的玻璃制造商，日产550吨。该公司是美国加迪安国际工业集团(GuardianIndustriesInternationalCorp.)和印度莫迪集团(ModiGroup)的合资企业。
特维尼玻璃公司(TriveniGlass)
位于印度北部阿拉哈巴德(Allahabad)的特维尼玻璃公司日产浮法玻璃200吨。这是一家采用中国浮法技术的小型浮法玻璃厂。
新浮法厂家
除了以上四家，一些国内企业也开始投资创办浮法玻璃生产厂。他们的浮法生产线正在建造中。这三家新的浮法玻璃制造商之前也是玻璃业相关同行。
GoldPlus
GoldPlus玻璃有限公司是印度首都新德里的一家玻璃加工厂，在深加工玻璃业占有相当大的市场分额。该公司的CEO宣称他们位于Roorkie地区的{zx1}的浮法玻璃制造厂GoldPlus将于2008年6月开始投产。该浮法厂可能安排在6月的任何一个合适的日子点火生产。这个项目{dy}阶段的成本预算大约为40亿印度卢比(折合人民币约7亿元)。这条浮法玻璃生产线的设计能力为日产460吨。该生产线将生产厚度为2mm-19mm的普通透明玻璃和绿色玻璃。这个工厂的多数玻璃机械进口自欧洲，美国以及中国的耀华玻璃集团。
SejalGlass
位于孟买(Mumbai，位于印度西海岸地区)的SejalGlass是印度另一家主要的高附加值玻璃制造业者。该公司雄心勃勃地计划建造一条浮法玻璃生产线，这个浮法玻璃工厂位于Bharuch,该项目已经开始动工并预计将在2009年3月开始投产，主要生产透明浮法玻璃和彩色玻璃。
HNG
HNG(HindustanNationalGlassCompany,印度国有玻璃公司)是印度本地{lx1}的玻璃容器制造商,该公司宣布他们位于Halol地区的浮法玻璃工厂已于2007年12月开始动工兴建，这条预计于2009年年中投产的浮法玻璃线日产能为600吨。HNG在新闻稿中声称新工厂所需的设备将会从欧洲进口。
当前产能VS市场需求
早在2006年初，业内就已经历过原片玻璃产能过剩的问题。在接下来的几年里，随着当前投资的浮法玻璃项目的陆续投产，该问题将会变得愈加严重。2007年过剩的产能是2006年的四倍，2008年将会增加为六倍假设市场需求继续以目前两位数的速度增长的话。一个很有意思的现象是，印度平板玻璃制造商们的累计利润目前仍显示亏损状态。
未来前景
建筑业和汽车业是平板玻璃的两个主要消费领域。在印度，近8000万平方英尺的土地被规划为大型购物中心，如果把经济特区和所有的写字楼纳入考虑的话，印度玻璃行业蕴育着巨大的商机。玻璃革命同时也将发生在汽车业。2012年以前，汽车业预计年均增长速度超过15%。
总之，迎接印度玻璃业未来的道路不会总是一路坦途，诸如原片玻璃产能过剩(以及深加工玻璃的项目过剩)，中国的竞争(不管有没有反倾销关税)以及产品标准的缺失等问题将会威胁印度玻璃业的健康发展。
就产能过剩的问题而言，分析家认为，至少直到2009年，印度玻璃市场供应仍将远大于需求。产能过剩，日趋激烈的竞争，产品标准急需完善是印度玻璃业未来发展真正的挑战。
