Coated Glass Market 2030: Residential Retrofits Unlock Huge Potential​

Coated Glass Market Summary

The global coated glass market was valued at USD 38.01 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 71.71 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 9.6% from 2024 to 2030. Market growth is strongly driven by the increasing adoption of green buildings and the rising focus on enhancing energy efficiency across residential and commercial infrastructure. Coated glass plays a critical role in temperature regulation within buildings by reflecting infrared energy, helping keep indoor spaces cool in warm climates and retain heat in colder regions. This dual functionality significantly reduces reliance on heating and cooling systems, contributing to sustainability efforts.

In the construction sector, coated glass is widely utilized in façades and windows as part of insulated glazing units. The continued expansion of the U.S. construction industry is anticipated to support market growth, especially as the country implements large-scale infrastructure initiatives. The USD 1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill is expected to bolster structural development in transportation, energy, telecommunications, broadband, and related sectors at an annual growth rate of 8.9% from 2020 to 2025, directly benefiting demand for coated glass across multiple applications.

Although the construction industry rebounded during 2021 due to declining COVID-19 cases, it faced subdued demand in 2022 amid tighter monetary policies and rising borrowing costs. The uncertainty persisted through 2023 due to recession concerns and elevated energy prices. Despite these challenges, innovation remains a defining trend in the coated glass market. Jumbo-coated architectural glass is gaining traction, prompting companies to invest in advanced production capabilities. For example, in December 2023, Emirates Glass LLC introduced a Jumbo Series production line featuring Vortex Pro Convection technology, allowing for the production of coated glass with high and low emissivity levels of 8 cm and 0.02 cm, respectively.
