Global Glass-to-metal Seals Market Overview
According to Global Market Monitor, the global glass-to-metal seal market size was $1789.34 million in 2023 with a CAGR of 4.15% from 2023 to 2028.
A glass-to-metal seal (GTMS) typically consists of a metal housing, a molded glass preforms, and one or several inner conductors. These components are melted in an inert gas atmosphere to form a hermetic seal in a special thermal process at approximately 1000°C. Glass-to-metal seals ensure the hermetic fusion of glass and metal components (typically < 1E-8 mbar l/s). This connection is needed to feed the electrical conductors (pins) hermetically sealed and screened from the surrounding ambient environment into the package. By application, the largest market is aerospace and national defense with a market share of 20.52% in 2023.
Stringent Standards & Regulations
Limited use of GTMS owing to stringent government regulations and standards for medical, military, and aerospace applications is the major restraining factor that could hamper the growth of the market. The glass-to-metal seals have limited usage due to stringent norms for aerospace, military, and medical applications. The policies and regulations differ between countries for usage in the military & and defense industry. Therefore, manufacturers need to follow various design constraints, periodic reviews, renewals, licenses, approvals, certifications, and other stringent norms according to several national authorities.
Wide Applications
The growing use of glass-to-metal seals for the construction of various electronic devices is the major driving factor behind the growth of the market. Increasing importance of GTMS in industries such as military & and defense, automotive, consumer electronics, aeronautics and space, healthcare, and many others, growing urbanization and industrialization, and surge in the demand for robust seals to maintain long life environmental and electrical integrity sealing and rising requirement of GTMSs in various applications to withstand in extreme conditions such as high pressure, high temperature, moisture, vibration and in many other difficult chemical environments are expected to improve growth of the market during the forecast period.
