综上所述，中国玻璃行业的转型升级是一场涉及供需、技术、模式、生态的全面深刻的系统性工程。未 来玻璃行业的领军企业，必将是以高端材料为基石、以绿色科技为基因、以数字智能为神经、以服务解 决方案为延伸的现代化企业。它们不再仅仅是材料的制造者，更是绿色生活的构筑者、智能时代的赋能 者。这条道路，是中国玻璃行业告别"大而不强"，走向"又大又强"，最终实现高质量发展的必由之路。 中国是世界最大的玻璃生产国和消费国，其产量长期占据全球半壁江山。然而，我国玻璃行业正面临着 前所未有的结构性压力。超越当前困境，实现从"量的积累"到"质的飞跃"，从"大"到"强大"的蜕变，是 关乎玻璃企业生存与发展的必答题。 玻璃行业与房地产行业的深度绑定，使其成为典型的周期性行业，在供应高企的同时，需求呈现尖锐 的"结构性失衡"。一方面，中低端的浮法玻璃原片过剩，企业陷入"价格战"泥潭；另一方面，用于电子 信息显示等领域的玻璃却大量依赖进口。以超薄电子玻璃为例，美国康宁、德国肖特等跨国公司长期垄 断市场，我国在柔性显示、高世代线液晶基板玻璃等最前沿领域仍面临"卡脖子"风险。这种"低端挤破 头，高端够不着"的格局，是行业价值提升的核心障碍。 玻 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the advancements in flexible and foldable glass technology developed by China National Building Material Group Glass New Materials Research Institute, showcasing its applications in various high-tech products and its significance in the global glass industry [1][2][3]. Group 1: Product Innovation - The flexible foldable glass produced by the company is only 30 micrometers thick, approximately one-third the thickness of a standard A4 paper, and has a bending lifespan exceeding one million cycles [1]. - This glass maintains high temperature resistance, hardness, light transmittance, gas tightness, and flatness, ensuring stable mechanical and chemical properties even under oxidative and illuminated conditions [1]. - The flexible glass has been widely applied in products such as foldable smartphones, rollable televisions, and flexible medical testing equipment [1]. Group 2: Research and Development - The production of ultra-thin flexible foldable glass required over a thousand experiments for formulation, followed by industrial trials and the design of dedicated production lines [2]. - The team, led by an academician from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, has successfully overcome key technological challenges, establishing a comprehensive industrial chain from high-strength glass to precision post-processing [2]. - The company has developed a "three-chain integration" model, combining innovation, engineering, and industry chains, resulting in numerous "China's first, world-leading" achievements [2]. Group 3: Market Impact - The development of the world's first 8.6-generation OLED ultra-thin float glass substrate is set to be completed by the end of 2024, marking a significant milestone in the production of high-generation OLED glass substrates in China [2][3]. - These innovations support the demand for advanced glass materials in sectors such as information display, new energy, semiconductors, and high-end equipment, ensuring the security of China's industrial supply chains [3]. - The advancements in glass technology signify a shift for China from following and catching up to leading in the global glass industry [3].
