Domestic special glass: the pioneer of transformation in advanced manufacturing industry
2025-07-22
The massive influx of people has spurred the development of various new transportation industries such as high-speed rail and airplanes, as well as related upstream and downstream industries such as steel, machinery, power equipment, communication, and new materials. Among them, high-speed rail and aircraft glass, as a type of special glass material, are increasingly widely used in people's daily lives and work. Their application scenarios cover multiple industries such as finance, transportation, livelihood services, social welfare, e-commerce, and military industry.
In the aerospace industry, special glass is used to manufacture components such as windows and instrument panels for aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft; In the military industry, special glass materials are mainly used for the manufacturing of bulletproof, fireproof glass and other transparent components; In the field of rail transit and protection, special glass materials are mainly used to manufacture rail transit window glass and protective glass; In the field of architecture, special glass materials are widely used in curtain walls and the manufacturing of insulation, explosion-proof, and fire-resistant glass; In the field of optoelectronics, special glass is used to manufacture optical devices, optical fibers, and display screens. In addition, there are explosion-proof glass, color changing glass, anti glare glass, fire-resistant glass, and so on.
The widespread application of special glass promotes the rapid development of the industry. In recent years, China has adhered to independent innovation in the special glass industry and supported the comprehensive development of the special glass industry and related industries. Therefore, the new special glass market is developing rapidly, with continuous expansion of product output. National industrial policies encourage the new special glass industry to develop towards high-tech products, and domestic enterprises are gradually increasing their investment in new investment projects. Investors' attention to the new special glass market is becoming increasingly close, which has led to the new special glass market receiving more and more attention from all parties.
Nowadays, the personalization and diversification of user categories for special glass are becoming increasingly diverse, and specialized segmentation is gradually becoming the overall trend of the development of the special glass industry. The current focus of social capital is also on the development opportunities brought about by the integration of the special glass industry with other related industries. The integration and development of these major industries will generate countless new models for the special glass industry.
The practical applications in aerospace, military industry, shipping, transportation and other fields are all cases of the integrated development of special glass industry and related industries, and are an important starting point for the special glass industry to truly promote the transformation and upgrading of consumption.
For example, special glass materials are used for peeping windows in hot or lead chamber equipment used in extreme environments. A hot chamber or lead chamber is a sealed and shielded chamber used for conducting radioactive testing operations, typically in a negative pressure environment. The peephole is used to observe the condition of working equipment in the hot or lead chamber. Some enterprises can design, manufacture, inspect, and install various types of peeping windows according to customer requirements, and apply the installed peeping windows to various levels of laboratories or nuclear power tests, forming a complete process from design to manufacturing assembly to inspection.
The growth of the application side has also added more possibilities for the development of the special glass industry. In recent years, China's high-speed rail "going global" has made the business card of China's infrastructure maniac shine even brighter, and has also shown the world China's cliff like advantage in high-speed railway construction. On the morning of October 2, 2023, the Halim High Speed Railway Station in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, announced the official opening of the Jakarta Bandung High Speed Railway, marking Indonesia's entry into the era of high-speed rail. The vast overseas market of China's high-speed rail will also drive the growth space of the special glass market.
The single profit model for specialty glass used to be very confusing for the industry, making it difficult to find a direction for development. And these customized cases have promoted the transformation of the special glass industry towards high-end manufacturing. In this context, some enterprises that have a first mover advantage and are able to integrate special glass with other industries, find new profit points, and establish new profit and development models for the special glass industry will gain greater advantages in the future development of the special glass industry.
This advantage is reflected in practice, as Chinese special glass enterprises have partially achieved intelligent functions such as overall visualization of production lines, human-computer interaction, fully automatic machine packing, and fully automatic product quality intelligent testing. Intelligent factories have become a key node in modern factory informatization, marking a new era of intelligent manufacturing in the manufacturing industry. The achievements of these enterprises demonstrate the intelligent transformation of China's special glass manufacturing industry in the digital age, and also point out the direction for future development.
