Structural Glazing Market Size, Share & Growth Report | 2031

Report Description

Structural Glazing Market Outlook

The global structural glazing market size was valued at USD 10.89 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 20.36 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. Structural glazing is a technique in which walls of glass are directly attached to the structural frame of the building. Silicon sealants are used to support these glass frames.

The support frame absorbs the load resulting from wind, thermal expansion, or building movement. Different types of silicone structural glazing, including four-sided structural glazing, two-sided structural glazing, slope glazing, stepped glass glazing, are used for specific requirements. Structural glazing is done for various purposes such as commercial, public, and residential buildings.

The technology used to fix glass panes includes the use of special fittings, including, rotules, clamps, tension rods, and other supporting parts, which are connected to the supporting structure. All hardware is made of high-quality mirror polished stainless steel (graded 304, 316, 316LM, and V4.A), to prevent oxidation and corrosion.

Glass panes are available in various shapes and are installed with additional vertical and horizontal profiles on the outer side of the façade, as being connected by special structural silicone highly resistant to weather conditions and ultra violet (UV) radiation. Low-e-glass, low-iron processing glass, reflective, or toughened coating (external or internal finish) are used for structural glazing.

Structural Glazing Market Dynamics

Rising applications of façade systems for well-being concerns and overheating problems in high-performance and smart buildings. Façade systems improve natural lighting, offer a better airflow, and reduce the building’s energy consumption. Additionally, façade systems for a sustainable building helps to add to the lifespan of the building and bring energy costs down significantly.

Rising application scope in façade systems for environmental and energy efficiency concerns in buildings is expected to increase the demand for structural glazing. Green buildings produce significantly less amount of waste, use less water, conserve natural resources, and optimize energy-efficiency. These buildings decrease operation expenses and improve the quality of life.

Structural glazing plays an important role in designing and constructing green buildings. It is used to improve the aesthetics of a structure, create a comfortable environment for the residents, and improve thermal performance and design. Increasing construction of green buildings is expected to drive the structural glazing market.

Urbanization in developing countries has increased the requirement commercial and residential buildings. Rising requirement for commercial and industrial building has field construction activities, which is expected to boost the structural glazing market during the forecast period.

The use of high-technology glass in buildings offers substantial benefits such as heat saving, increased level of noise insulation, and UV protection. Glass used in glazing is a brittle material using the advent of technology and science, with the introduction of green technology used in building, glass is continuously undergoing revolution. Advancements in glass technology and installation efficiency is projected to propel the market during the forecast period.

Glass production is extremely energy-intensive manufacturing process. The manufacturing process uses combustion of fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and electricity for energy; therefore, glass production is an important source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Various countries have implemented regulations to control carbon emission. Government regulations on carbon emission are anticipated to restraint the market.

Structural glazing is not simple to install. Each installation needs to be thoroughly designed and detailed, which requires a structural team of professionals with years of experience for installation. Difficult installation process and the production of complex structural glazing are expected to hamper the structural glazing market during the forecast period.

The installation cost of structural glazing is high, as it requires experienced professionals for installation. Additionally, the maintenance of structural glazing is high, owing to the requirement of skilled professionals for the task. High installation and maintenance costs is anticipated to hinder the market growth.

Private and institutional investments in public infrastructure have improved. The long-term and expanded nature of infrastructure developments and the strong return profile have attracted many investors. Infrastructure developments has resulted in growth of construction industry along with several trends and activities associated to construction industry such as the introduction of new techniques, latest design, materials, and technologies and one such field of modern construction technology includes structural glazing system.

Rising investments in infrastructural projects is expected to fuel the structural glazing market. Urbanization results in multifarious environmental issues of serious nature, thus increasing awareness about environmental friendly construction facilities, which is expected to create opportunities in the structural glazing market.

Use of structural glazing system in building has increased, as it is sustainable and provides benefits to the environment. Its sluggish nature is extremely appreciated in protecting people’s health and contributing to their well-being. It saves precious natural resources and mitigating climate change.
