Press Releases

The global solar control glass market was pegged at USD 6.4 billion in 2023 and is expected increase by 2030. Extensively being driven by the incremental development of both commercial as well as residential buildings and the tremendous rise in the BIPV market (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) solar control glass market is expected to brace shortly. The solar control glass market is poised to grow at a CAGR of 9.0% during the forecast period (2025–2030).

The accelerating growth of the BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) market is the major factor driving the growth of the global solar control glass market. BIPV helps in developing on-site electricity from the sun's rays without hampering the resources or spreading pollution. It is integrated into the building as a part of the design by the developers; replaces traditional building materials and helps in generating power.

According to a recent report, these new designs are infused in several buildings in Europe although it is still at the introduction stage of product lifecycle in Canada. Furthermore, technological upgradation in the solar control glass market is further anticipated to rapidly affect the growth of the solar control glass market during the forecast period. According to a report published by the EU, solar control glasses help significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions in Europe in a year by approximately 15 million tons. These technological improvements in this market will help in saving energy by eliminating the unwanted load generated by air-conditioners.

In terms of application, solar control glass is segmented into commercial buildings, residential buildings, and automotive. Among all the applications, commercial buildings occupy the largest market share in this segment of the global solar control glass market as these glasses help the building decrease the requirement for costly obtrusive blind windows and air-conditioners. Moreover, the solar control glass enables efficient transmission of sunlight and helps in protecting the environment of the building from excessive heat along with protecting the furniture from fading away.

Based on the product, the global solar control glass market is categorized into absorbing solar control glass, and reflective solar control glass. Among these two, the reflective solar control glass category accounts for the larger market share of more than 55.0% in 2018 in the global market owing to the increasing demand from construction and automotive industries.

Based on thickness, the global solar control glass market is segmented into <3mm, 3-5mm, and >5mm. Of all, the 3-5mm thickness category is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period.

Geographically, Asia-Pacific was the largest solar control glass market due to the extensive construction of residential as well as commercial buildings. Furthermore, stringent regulatory frameworks by the government for environmental regulations are driving the growth of the solar control glass market in this region.

Moreover, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth in the global solar control glass market. The large population, increasing disposable income, and swelling construction industry in the region are the major factors contributing to the growth of this market. Additionally, increasing demand for the BIPV market, technological degradation, and supportive policies and reforms by government agencies are further accelerating the growth of the solar control glass market in Asia-Pacific.

Market players in the solar control glass market are constantly upgrading and enhancing their technological efficiency to provide the best offerings to their customers. Some of the key players operating in the global solar control glass market are Saint-Gobain S.A., Asahi Glass Co. Ltd., Nippon Sheet Glass Co. Ltd., Guardian Industries, Taiwan Glass Group, Trakya Cam Sanayii A.?., PPG Industries Inc., CSG Holding Limited, Arcon Flachglas-Veredlung GmbH & Co. KG, and Cardinal Glass Industries, Inc.
