Thus, with the increasing demand for photovoltaic glass in residential and commercial buildings it is expected to grow the global solar control glass market during the forecast period.

  • Government initiatives for energy efficient structures

The government initiative for energy efficient structure is one of the major drivers in the global solar control glass market. Government have adopted building codes that require new buildings to be energy efficient with minimum energy performance standards for insulation, windows and other building components. Governments are also providing financial incentives such as tax breaks, rebates and low-interest loans. As the government promotes the use of solar control glass for energy efficiency and sustainability the demand for global solar control glass market is expected to grow during the forecast period.

 

Restraints

  • Raw material price volatility and availability

The raw material price volatility and availability is one of the major restraints in the global solar control glass market. Float glass and coating materials are used in the production of solar control glass. The prices of these raw materials can fluctuate significantly due to supply and demand difference, change in transportation and energy costs. Additionally, the availability of raw materials is a major concern due to disruptions in the supply chain. Thus, the raw material price volatility and availability acts as a major restraint in the global solar control glass market during the forecast period.

  • Increasing demand from the automotive industry

The increasing demand from the automotive industry is a major opportunity in the global solar control glass market. Solar control glass are used in windshields, side windows and sunroofs to reduce the amount of heat and glare that enters the vehicle interior to improve the visibility and comfort of the passengers. As the demand from the automotive industry increases it creates an immense opportunity for the global solar control glass market during the forecast period.

 

Segment Overview

By type

The market for solar control glass is segmented based on type into four categories: Float glass, heat strengthened glass, laminated glass and tempered glass. Tempered glass is dominating the market segment due to its durability and strength. Tempered glass is a kind of safety glass created by heating and cooling float glass. This technique strengthens the glass and makes it more resistant to shattering. Tempered glass can be covered with a number of compounds to provide solar control. The most often used type of sun control glass is float glass. It is created by floating molten glass over molten tin. Float glass is normally clear, but it can be coated with a range of compounds, including as metals and metal oxides, to provide solar control. Heat-strengthened glass is a type of safety glass created by rapidly heating and cooling annealed glass. This procedure forms a compressive layer on the glass's surface, making it stronger and more resistant to shattering. Laminated glass is a type of safety glass composed of a layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) sandwiched between two layers of float glass. In the event of a break, the PVB layer helps to keep the glass together. Laminated glass can also be coated with a variety of compounds to provide solar control. Thus, this segment allows the consumer to select the type of solar control glass according to their specific needs and preferences.

 

 

By coating method

The solar control glass market is categorized based on coating method into hard coated and soft coated. Hard coated segment is dominating the market due to its super performance and durability. Hard-coated solar control glass has a long-lasting layer of metal or metal oxide coating. A chemical vapour deposition (CVD) or physical vapour deposition (PVD) procedure is commonly used to apply this covering. Hard-coated solar control glass is scratch and abrasion resistant, and it has the best solar heat rejection and visible light transmission characteristics. A small layer of organic material coats soft-coated sun control glass. This coating is often applied with a spray or roller coating method. Soft-coated solar control glass is less expensive than hard-coated solar control glass, but it is also less robust and performs worse in terms of solar heat rejection and visible light transmission. Thus, this segment allows the consumer to select the coating method of solar control glass according to their specific needs and preferences.

 

By Application

The solar control glass market is segmented based on application into residential buildings, commercial buildings and automotive. Residential buildings segment is dominating the market due to the increasing demand for energy-efficient homes. Solar control glass is utilized in many residential construction applications, including windows, doors, and skylights. By limiting the amount of heat that enters through the windows, solar control glass can help to minimize the energy consumption of residential buildings. Solar control glass is also used in office buildings, retail businesses, and hotels. Solar control glass can help commercial buildings save energy by minimizing heat gain via windows and improving indoor comfort. Solar control glass is utilized in numerous vehicle applications, including windshields, side windows, and rear windows. Solar control glass can help to reduce interior vehicle temperatures and enhance fuel efficiency. Thus, this segment allows the consumer to select the type of application of solar control glass according to their specific needs and preferences.
