Insulating Glass Window Global Market Report 2024

Insulating glass comprises two or more glass window panes separated by a spacer material and sealed along the edges. Its purpose is to mitigate significant heat transfer, either into or out of a home or building. Insulating glass units (IGUs) play a crucial role in maintaining warmth during winter and keeping interiors cool in the summer.

The primary product categories within insulating glass windows include vacuum insulating glass (VIG), gas-filled insulating glass, and air-filled insulating glass. Vacuum insulating glass (VIG) is formed by isolating glazing (IG) with an evacuated space between the glass sheets, resulting in heightened thermal insulation and minimal heat transfer. Various sealant options, such as silicone, polysulfide, hot melt butyl, polyurethane, among others, contribute to the effectiveness of insulating glass. Spacer types, including thermoplastic, aluminum box, galvanized steel, intercept, and stainless steel box, find application across residential and commercial sectors.

This insulating glass window market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The insulating glass window market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $13.37 billion in 2023 to $14.24 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to a heightened focus on energy efficiency, an increase in demand for sustainability, a rising need for noise reduction, improved indoor comfort standards, and the ongoing trend of increased urbanization.

The insulating glass window market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.36 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the escalating trend of building renovation and upgrades, a growing emphasis on health and wellness applications, increasing regulatory changes, the aging building stock, and a rising demand for daylighting. Key trends expected in the forecast period involve the adoption of triple glazing, integration of smart glass, the use of vacuum insulated glass (VIG), solar control films, and the incorporation of unique security features.

The surge in demand for energy-efficient buildings is poised to drive the growth of the insulating glass window market in the coming years. These buildings, designed to minimize the energy needed for heating and cooling, utilize insulating glass windows to control heat transfer, preventing it from escaping or entering the structure. An example of this trend is highlighted by EnergyStar, a government-backed program promoting energy efficiency, which reported in April 2021 that over 6,000 buildings received EPA ENERGY STAR certification, with 280,000 commercial properties utilizing the EPA ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager tool for energy, water, and waste management. This increasing preference for energy-efficient buildings is a key factor fueling the expansion of the insulating glass window market.

The growing demand in residential construction is expected to be a driving force for the insulating glass window market. Residential construction, focusing on structures for domestic use, incorporates insulating glass windows to enhance energy efficiency and thermal insulation. FMI Corporation reported a significant 18% growth in multi-family residential construction spending activities, reaching $111 billion in investment in 2021. Globally, this investment is anticipated to rise to $136 billion in 2025. The surge in demand within the residential construction sector further propels the growth of the insulating glass window market.

A notable trend in the insulating glass window market is the emergence of strategic partnerships among major companies. This approach is employed to strengthen market positions and foster collaboration. An example is the strategic partnership formed in October 2021 between AGC Glass Europe, a Belgium-based insulated glass manufacturing company, and Masterframe Windows Limited, a UK-based window manufacturer. They collaborated to introduce vacuum insulating glazing FINEO to the UK market for PVC-U sash windows. Additionally, in September 2022, REHAU Window Solutions, a Switzerland-based uPVC window systems manufacturer, and AGC Glass Europe entered into a partnership to develop doors and windows featuring vacuum insulated glass.

Innovation remains a focal point for major companies in the insulating glass window sector, exemplified by the introduction of products such as ClimaTech PriME. Launched by Alside Inc. in August 2023, ClimaTech PriME serves as a high-performance insulated glass package for windows, catering to customers seeking cost-effective and energy-efficient building materials. It incorporates low-e glass, argon gas, and the intercept warm-edge spacer system to deliver superior energy efficiency, noise reduction, and thermal performance for both residential and commercial buildings.
