Market Highlights

The global solar control glass market is accounted to register a CAGR of 10.3% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 15.7 billion by 2032.

Solar control glass has a special coating designed to limit the amount of heat entering a specific area. The solar control coating on the glass reflects heat from the sun outside the place it has been installed, such as a building, automobile, or greenhouse. It considerably limits the heat that can travel through, resulting in more usable and comfortable space. Along with absorbing and reflecting heat, these glasses also filter out light and decrease glare, keeping the inside cooler in the summer and decreasing the need for air conditioning. Different sun control glasses provide a variety of appearances, including reflecting, tinted, and neutral.

The growing use of solar control glasses in automobiles drives the market. They increase mileage and reduce fuel consumption by reducing the heat load on the car while minimizing the demand for air conditioning. This is further encouraged by consumer preferences for low-cost, energy-efficient vehicles. Significant demand for solar control glass in residential and commercial buildings is also driving growth as people become more mindful of the exorbitant expense of air conditioning. Rapid urbanization, rising worries about carbon dioxide emissions, growing awareness about climate change, and the rise of smart construction activities are major other factors propelling the global solar control glass market forward.
