The global insulated glass market size is expected to reach USD 4.26 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising awareness about energy efficient buildings is expected to drive demand for insulating glass. Insulating glass is a special type of value added product which is installed to keep the environment warmer in winters and cooler during the summer season. The presence of two window panes in one unit aids in providing heat insulation.
The heat transfer by convection, radiation and conduction are decreased by the extra window and air void present in an insulated glass. Nowadays, manufacturers have developed insulation glass with advanced properties such as noise control and enhanced thermal insulation.
The rising demand for green buildings is expected to drive demand for the product. The energy efficiency provided by insulating glass is the major factor driving the demand for this product. The market is majorly concentrated in certain regions around the world. The demand for the product is high particularly in the developing economies of India and Thailand.
