The solar control glass market size was valued at about USD 5.76 Bn in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD 10.84 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 8.8 % during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing awareness regarding carbon dioxide ejection and advancement in technology.
Solar control glass is a kind of glass available in a binary or triple-coating glass made of metal oxide covering the inner side of the external glass unit. The metal oxide covering on the glass reverses the sun’s utmost UV rays and prevents heat by releasing natural light.
The benefits of solar control glass include reduced sunlight flare, reduce air-conditioner use, purification of UV rays, shielding furniture from fading, and low maintenance. Many types of solar control glass offer creative options such as tinted, reflective, and neutral.
It has several demands in the construction industry and commercial buildings. Solar glass can be used in plentiful ways in a building such as on roofs, windows, and facades. Solar control glass is combined into double-coating windows with self-cleaning systems and decorative glass solutions.
COVID-19 has negatively impacted the market. The execution of lockdowns across the globe as a scope to prevent the widespread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the project of both commercial and residential segments was on halt or canceled. Pre-existing construction also was postponed. Furthermore, the supply chain got disturbed and hampered the market growth by the impact of COVID-19.
Solar Control Glass Market Dynamics
The global solar control glass market report has up-to-date insights that help in formulating a strategic roadmap about the estimated market scenario and performance during 2023 to 2031.
Market Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Increasing importance on reducing carbon ejection is expected to give a positive effect on the growth of the market. A compulsory focus on carbon reduction in automobiles is also producing demand for solar control glass. It supplies cooling effects in adverse conditions.
- This is the reason increasing demand for the use of solar control glass, within tropical climate countries. The use of this glass in automobiles generates a cooling effect and guides the minor need for air-conditioning in the vehicles, making it fuel-saving and lowering CO2 discharge, this is expected to boost the demand.
- Solar control coating is an advanced technology that aids in reducing the temperature in buildings affected due to sunlight. In determining solar control coating, the most important component to consider is the total solar heat transmission or g value (total solar energy transmittance of windows).
- High cost of raw materials for solar control glass restricts the market growth. Crucial challenges that impact the market trends are the increasing raw material cost.
- Raw materials such as soda ash and silica sand are used for the manufacturing of glass, further used in solar control glass for the automobile industry. The high cost of raw materials also hampers the growth of the overall automotive industry.
- Green construction is an integrated concept that building, in its design, services, or construction brings beneficial impacts, on the natural environment and climate conditions. The benefits of green construction such as pollution free, the use of renewable energy, the use of non-toxic materials, improved quality of design, projects, waste reduction, and structure of the building enable the acceptance of changing environment.

Solar Control Glass Market Segment Insights
Based on type, the market is divided into laminated glass, float glass, tempered glass, and heat-strengthened glass. The tempered glass segment is expected to expand at a significant growth rate during the projection period. The benefits of tempered glass such as ease to clean and high strength in comparison to other control glasses. It has six times higher strength than normal plate glass and offers safety and toughness at the same time, which rises use in new construction.
On the basis of coating method, the global market is segregated into soft-coated and hard-coated. The hard-coated segment is projected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period. It assists in adjusting the energy flow and helps in preventing the amount of heat from entering the buildings, keeping places cool, and brighter.
Based on nature, the solar control glass market is segmented into photochromic, electrochromic, and gasochromic. The photochromic segment is expected to register a robust growth rate during the projected period. These are lenses that darkened in the sunlight and lighten in softer light or the dark. Photochromic glass is also known as transition lenses, its inks change their color with dark light or spectral dividing of the light.
Electrochromic is an electrical glass material that helps to limit the quantity of solar energy and light that can enter a space through the coating removing the need for separation of shading systems. Electrochromic glass is a smart glass that changes transmittance (how much light it passes) if provoked by an electrical signal.
On the basis of application, the market is segmented into commercial, residential, and automotive. The commercial segment is expected to register a robust growth rate during the forecast period. Commercial buildings are a large application due to growth in the construction industry. Increasing modernization in the world is guiding the construction of commercial constructions.
Residential buildings were the second large application segment. The major utilization of the product in residential buildings is observed in Europe and North America. Numerous advantages provided by the solar glass make new buildings more attractive along with the renovation of existing buildings.
In terms of region, the global solar control glass market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to fast a growing regional market during the projection period. The growth in this region is due to changing climate conditions and rising in the number of residential and commercial buildings. Growing infrastructure investment in this region is expected to fuel demand for solar control glass.
Europe dominates the global requirement for the product due to quick adoption and increasing usage in applications such as commercial and residential buildings. The growth in North America can be due to the beneficial construction projects and the automotive industry outlook. The requirement for solar control glass is expected to grow to a great extent in the Middle East owing to numerous new construction projects.
