Glass is the most dominating material in modern architecture. Moreover, glasses are designed to include many desirable properties by modifying its composition and processing. The technical features of glass are modified by glazing so that it can be used for heat, solar, sound control, and safety glass. These glasses undergo specialized chemical and mechanical treatments to increase their strength, durability, and coatings for specific applications. Coatings are deployed on glasses so as to control exposure of the glass surface to vapors, which bind to the glass forming a permanent coating. In addition, coatings on glass improves special reflection, transmission, absorption properties, scratch resistance, and corrosion resistance.
The coated glass market is witnessing significant growth, owing to rapid adoption of coated glass among different end-use applications such as architecture. Moreover, rapid urbanization, demand for affordable housing, increase in population, and development of the services sector, especially the IT & ITES sector, fuel the market growth. In addition, increase in demand for decorative glass with digital prints and adoption of green building techniques are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for market growth. However, problems associated with the coating such as scratches and damages on the coated glass products when exposed to air limit the product life, thereby restraining the market growth.
The report segments the coated glass market on the basis of function, production process, product, application, and geography. Based on function, the market is classified into safety & security, solar control, optics & lightening, fire rated, and others (insulation and packaging). By production process, it is bifurcated into pyrolytic/hard coat and magnetron sputter vacuum deposition/soft coat. In terms of product, it is divided into low-E glass and heat reflective. The applications covered in the study include architectural, electronics, automotive, optical, aerospace & defense, and sports & leisure. Geographical breakdown of the market includes North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
