Silicone Structural Glazing Global Market Report 2024

The silicone structural glazing market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $39.51 billion in 2023 to $43.15 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%.The expansion observed during the historical period can be ascribed to several factors, including architectural trends and aesthetics shaping construction practices, the rapid pace of urbanization and construction activities, increasing emphasis on energy efficiency and adherence to green building standards, regulatory measures ensuring building safety, and a growing demand for natural light incorporation in building designs.

The silicone structural glazing market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $57.47 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to several factors, including a heightened focus on sustainable construction materials, continuous innovations in the design of glazing systems, a worldwide emphasis on energy-efficient buildings, ongoing urban renewal and infrastructure projects, and a commitment to resilience and seismic safety in construction. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass a rising demand for energy-efficient buildings, a surge in architectural innovation and aesthetic appeal, the adoption of high-performance silicone sealants, an increased focus on safety and regulatory compliance, technological advancements in glazing systems, and market expansion in emerging economies.

The anticipated growth in the silicone structural glazing market is closely tied to the increasing demand in the building and construction industry. Construction involves the on-site installation and assembly of project materials and equipment in compliance with authorized specifications. Silicone structural glazing systems play a crucial role in shielding structures from external elements, supporting curtain walls that transmit wind loads according to design specifications. For example, data from Stats NZ Tauranga Aotearoa, a government data agency in New Zealand, reported a 3.7% increase in building activities in March 2021, with residential activities rising by 4.3% in 2021 compared to the previous year. Furthermore, according to the US Census Bureau in February 2023, the value of construction activities increased from $1,626.4 billion in 2021 to $1,792.9 billion in 2022, representing a growth rate of 10.2%. Consequently, the growing demand in the building and construction industry is a key driver for the silicone structural glazing market.

The contributing to market growth is the heightened awareness of building performance. Building performance encompasses a structure's effectiveness and efficiency in meeting functional, safety, and sustainability objectives. Structural silicone glazing emerges as a versatile solution that positively impacts building performance by addressing energy efficiency, aesthetics, safety, and durability. For instance, a report from CBRE Econometric Advisors highlighted a notable increase in the adoption of mandatory Building Performance Standards (BPS) across the United States over the past decade. In 2023, an additional 10 U.S. locales joined the trend of implementing BPS, with a focus on addressing climate change and advancing building decarbonization. New York City's Local Law 97 (LL97) is an example of such standards, imposing penalties on commercial buildings exceeding 25,000 sq. ft. that must adhere to LL97 from 2024. This law aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from NYC's commercial buildings by 40% by 2030 and 80% by 2050. The increased awareness of building performance, as reflected in the adoption of standards such as BPS, is expected to drive the growth of the structural silicone glazing market in the foreseeable future.

Product innovations have become a prominent trend in the silicone structural glazing market, with major companies focusing on developing advanced solutions to enhance their market positions. An example of this trend is YKK AP America Inc., a US-based manufacturer of commercial facade systems and residential doors and windows. In April 2022, the company introduced the YWW 60 XT Window Wall, designed to complement YKK AP's existing range of window wall systems. The YWW 60 XT offers various options, including pre-glazed or field-glazed, inside or externally glazed, captured, 2, 3, or 4-sided structural silicone glazing (SSG) combinations, and dual-finish capacity. Notably, the product features improved thermal performance with 40 mm polyamide iso-struts, increased structural load capacity, and up to a 12-foot mullion span.

Major companies in the silicone structural glazing market are actively developing portable glazing sealants, to meet the evolving needs of the construction industry for enhanced convenience, efficiency, and performance in glazing applications. Portable glazing sealants are designed to be easily transportable and applicable for sealing and bonding glass elements in various settings. For instance, Novagard, a US-based silicone sealant manufacturer, introduced a portable version of its Qwik-Set glazing sealant in June 2022. This specially formulated product aims to expedite hand glazing, field glazing, and installations, particularly in confined spaces and for repair work. The NovaFlex Qwik-Set Portable Adhesive and Glazing Sealant, a two-component, neutral-cure silicone, swiftly develops adhesive and elastomeric strength. With a fixed 21 ratio and available in a dual cartridge, it can be conveniently applied using a portable pneumatic gun, allowing for quick repairs in the field or situations where glazing tables are impractical. This two-part silicone sealant achieves remarkable tensile strength, exceeding the speed of many other sealants on the market.

In April 2022, Recticel Group, a Belgium-based manufacturer of polyurethane-based products, acquired Trimo for $179.87 million. This strategic acquisition marks a milestone in Recticel's planned portfolio reorientation to become a pure insulation player, coupled with a development strategy to expand its geographical presence across central and southern European markets. Trimo Group, based in Slovenia, provides unique solutions for steel structures, facades, structural silicone glazing systems, roofing materials, containers, sound, and insulating systems.
