The anticipated growth in green buildings is poised to significantly drive the expansion of the advanced glass market in the foreseeable future. Green buildings, designed and constructed to sustain or enhance the quality of life in their surroundings, can greatly benefit from advanced architectural glass. This specialized glass can aid building projects in obtaining credit points across six Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) categories. Its utilization within green buildings contributes to a simultaneous reduction in energy consumption for heating, cooling, and artificial lighting. Illustrating this trend, the US Green Building Council (USGBC) reported in January 2023 that over 100,000 Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified projects, covering more than 11 billion gross square feet, have received approval globally. Additionally, in the US, over 5,000 more projects were LEED certified in Q3 2022, with an additional 8,800 project registrations made in 2022. Hence, the proliferation of green buildings serves as a key driver propelling the advanced glass market.

The burgeoning automotive industry is also expected to play a pivotal role in propelling the growth of the advanced glass market in the coming years. This industry, comprising various entities involved in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, sale, and maintenance of motor vehicles, stands to benefit significantly from advanced glass technologies. Advanced glass materials contribute substantially to the automotive sector by enhancing safety, comfort, and overall vehicle performance. For instance, according to a report by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) in May 2023, global motor vehicle production reached 85.4 million units in 2022, indicating a 5.7% increase from the previous year. Furthermore, data from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, a trade association spanning 36 nations, showcased a rise in total car and commercial vehicle production from 80,145,988 units in 2021 to 85,016,728 units in 2022. Consequently, the robust growth of the automotive industry serves as a driving force behind the expansion of the advanced glass market.

Major companies in the advanced glass market are focusing on innovations like scratch resistance, which offers twice the durability compared to other lithium aluminosilicate cover glasses. Scratch resistance refers to a material's ability to endure surface scratches or abrasions that could compromise its appearance, texture, or functionality. For example, in June 2024, Corning Inc., a US-based technology company, launched Gorilla Glass 7i, specifically designed for mid-range and budget smartphones. This new glass technology provides enhanced drop protection and double the scratch resistance compared to similar products. It is engineered to offer the same durability as premium devices, meeting the needs of modern displays like OLED screens, while also being sustainable and accessible to a broader range of consumers.

In May 2022, M3 Glass Technologies Inc., a prominent US-based manufacturer specializing in laminated and insulated glass, completed the acquisition of Thermotec Glass for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition is poised to empower M3 Glass in broadening its portfolio of glass products, establishing a more comprehensive offering that aims to provide clients with an integrated 'one-stop shop' experience for both interior and exterior glass needs. Furthermore, through this acquisition, M3 Glass is set to enhance its endeavors in constructing an advanced commercial insulated glass line. Thermotec Glass, the acquired company, operates as a US-based manufacturer and wholesaler, focusing on producing insulated and tempered safety glass units.
