The architectural glass market is projected to grow from US$ 52,608.27 million in 2022 to US$ 75,837.41 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2022 to 2028.
There is an increasing demand for glass from the construction industry as glass allows innovative designs, and it can be treated to improve insulation and energy efficiency. Large glass envelopes have become very common, especially in urban areas. In addition, glass is highly used in commercial buildings, owing to its special features and advantages such as aesthetics, physical properties, sustainability and energy efficiency, and weather resistance. Further, growing construction industry and rising need for energy-efficient products are boosting the demand for architectural glass. Various governments across the globe are focusing on making buildings more energy efficient. All these factors are contributing to the growth of the global architectural glass market.
Moreover, the growing investment in modernized infrastructure is propelling the market growth as glass gives a modern finish to construction. Additionally, increasing population and rising spending on construction are major drivers for construction and infrastructure redevelopment activities. Governments of different countries are also giving a massive push to the construction & infrastructure sector. For instance, in 2020, the Government of India allocated US$ 130.57 billion to enhance the infrastructure sector in the country and announced US$ 9.85 billion to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. Such government initiatives to enhance the construction & infrastructure sector are fueling the demand for architectural glass, which is further expected to drive the global market.
In 2021, Asia Pacific held the largest revenue share of the global architectural glass market. In Asia Pacific, the rise in awareness regarding energy-efficient glass for construction applications and new developments in the solar industry are expected to boost the demand for glass in the coming years.
