Laminated Glass Industry Segmentation

Laminated glass is a type of layered glass in which a laminated sheet is layered between two layers of glass. This laminated sheet, which is usually made of polyvinyl butyral, or PVB, and sticks to the glass if it breaks. This keeps people from getting hurt if the glass breaks. Laminated glass is used for hurricane-proof walls, intrusion protection in homes, damage tolerance in car windshields, and other structural or safety reasons. Laminated glass is easy to see through and is much harder to break than regular sheet glass. Laminated glass market is segmented by type, end-user industry, and geography. By type, the market is segmented into polyvinyl butyral (PVB), sentryglas plus (SGP), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), and other types. By end-user industry, the market is segmented into automotive, building and construction, electronics, and other end-user industries. The report also covers the market size and forecasts for the market in 15 countries across the globe. For each segment, the market sizing and forecasts have been done on the basis of value (USD million).

Laminated Glass Market Trends

High Demand from the Automotive Segment

  • The application of laminated glass offers various benefits. Some of the key advantages are security, sound reduction, resistance to shattering, and protection from adverse weather conditions.
  • Automobile manufacturers have been using laminated glass since long ago for windshields, enhancements in sound absorption, and infrared and UV radiation reflectiveness.
  • High-end cars use laminated backlights with embedded tungsten wires for defrosting purposes. The use of laminated side glass started with popular passenger car models such as the Audi A8 (1994), followed by the Mercedes S class (1996), and the Volvo S80.
  • Therefore, with rising automobile production, the demand for laminated glass in the automotive industry is expected to rise.
  • According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturing, the production of New Energy Passenger Vehicles in the country witnessed a year-on-year increase of 97.8% in December 2022.
  • Further, the production of new-energy commercial vehicles in the country witnessed a year-on-year increase of 81% in December 2022. Thus, the expanding automotive market is expected to increase the demand for laminated glass during the forecast period.
  • Hence, owing to the above-mentioned factors, the market is expected to witness a decline in growth during the forecast period.
