The global solar control window films market size is expected to reach USD 1,271.9 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.6% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The construction sector is the largest application area of solar control window films. Factors, such as rapid industrialization and lenient lending policies have played a huge role in the growth of both residential and commercial sectors. Window glass in buildings can have unintended disadvantages from excess solar glare, heat, and UV rays. Severe ultraviolet (UV) rays are fatal and can cause skin cancer.
Solar window film makes it possible to upgrade glass at affordable prices and enhance buildings in various climatic conditions, costing just a fraction of full window replacement. They filter the majority of the solar spectrum, help prevent fading of furnishings, contribute to reduced energy use, and increase tenant comfort. The installation of these films is inexpensive and user-friendly. These films, which are available in various patterns & textures, can also improve the aesthetic sense of a building. These films reduce the sun glare inside vehicles and reduce the heat being transmitted into vehicles & increase their overall appearance. The appearance of cars, SUVs, trucks, or any vehicle can be enhanced with a quality window tint.
A window tint not only enhances the look of a vehicle but also protects the body of the car. The market is growing steadily due to the expanding construction industry and presence of key players. The emergence of solar control glass is the biggest threat to market growth as it is one of the advanced discoveries in the glass industry. It reflects the sun’s heat while allowing sunlight to pass through it. It exhibits all the functions of the solar control window film. However, to install it, the existing glass of the building has to be completely replaced, which could prove expensive.
