The Global Coated Glass Market size accounted for USD 32,951 Million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 71,425 Million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.

The growing awareness of energy-efficient eco-friendly building projects in urban areas is attributed to the growth of the coated glass market. Additionally, changes in consumer lifestyle preferences, as well as excessive consumption of aesthetically beautiful and luxury vehicles, are expected to drive global coated glass market growth.

Coated glass is a high-tech glass product with protective coatings of nanostructured materials (0.01 m to 0.8 m) sprayed on it. As a result, the coating is composed of a stack of different types and thicknesses of sub-coatings. In response to solar irradiance, it changes the behavior patterns of the crystal in the infrared and visible domains. Transparency is now required in industrial and residential infrastructure, with many high-rise buildings featuring massive glass expanses and external cladding. Despite the fact that glass is still relevant in contemporary architectural styles, technology developments are still the subject of research and development in order to obtain new performance properties from the glass coating material.

Coated Glass Market Segmentation                         

The global coated glass market segmentation is based on the type, application and geographical region.

Coated Glass Market By Type

• Low-E glass
• Solar Control Panel
• Hard Coated
• Soft Coated

In terms of type, the low-E glass segment held the largest market share in 2021. Low-e glass is a type of glass that is made by wrapping it in metallic particles. This glass has a low emission spectrum, indicating that it emits the least amount of thermal radiation from the surface. To reduce heat transmission, all surfaces are recognized for their ability to transmit, reflect, and absorb heat. It is also used to stop ultraviolet radiation waves in light waves. Building activity and public awareness of energy conservation in residential development and green constructions are driving the global low-E glass segment. The growing use of Low-E glass in automobiles for lighter weight glazed windows to reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel efficiency is a promising factor influencing the low-E glass segment's and increase the coated glass market share. Furthermore, because of its superior characteristics, Low-E glass is becoming increasingly popular in both residential and commercial architectural structures.

Coated Glass Market By Application

• Automotive
• Construction
• Aerospace & defense
• Sports & Leisure
• Others

Based on the application, the construction segment is projected to expand with significant market shares in the coming years. Coated glass is glass that has been slathered with various metallic elements to allow only specific wavelengths of solar irradiance to reach a building. Factors such as rapid population growth, increasing urbanization, demand for affordable housing, and advancements in service industries such as IT and ITES drive the coated glass industry in the construction segment. Due to its numerous specific properties such as improved scratch resistance, chemical and mechanical stress, and shatters protection, coated glass is the most advantageous, convenient, and cost-effective alternative to the products. Furthermore, the market is anticipated to expand as a result of the increased supply of home decoration glass with photographic prints, as well as the adoption of sustainable and green construction practices, as well as energy-efficient innovations.
