According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Solar Control Window Films Market is accounted for $3.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $6.7 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 11.4% during the forecast period. In the construction and automotive industries, solar control window films are often put over windows and constructed of polyethylene terephthalate. By blocking UV rays, decreasing glare, and conserving energy, the films are placed over the window to enhance performance. Due to an increase in green building activities, this market has recently gained traction. Solar window coatings are becoming more popular as a result of the increase in global temperature, which reduces the need for electricity and gas to cool buildings.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, approximately one-third of a building’s cooling costs are attributed to heat gained through windows.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Rising awareness regarding environment-friendly materials
Innovative materials are capable of efficiently absorbing a substantial portion of the sun's harmful UV radiation. The requirement for air cooling, which is both directly and indirectly responsible for ozone depletion, is decreased by solar window films. As a result, increased public knowledge of how material choices can impact people's health and the environment will probably lead to greater adoption and open up new commercial opportunities.
Restraint:
Availability of alternative solutions
The existence of substitute options is predicted to hurt the world market. A variety of solar control glasses are made to reflect and radiate a lot of the heat from the sun. Some eyewear lets in solar light while blocking solar heat. Solar control glasses are more expensive than other types of eyewear and require professional manpower to install, which is preventing the industry from expanding.
Opportunity:
Lowering energy costs and carbon emissions
Solar control films offer ways to moderately restrict sunlight, reducing heat transfer. As a result, energy use and carbon emissions are reduced as well as the strain placed on cooling and heating systems. A building must spend a lot of money on cooling and heating; solar control films use less energy, which lowers the building's carbon impact. One of the key elements fueling the market's expansion is the requirement to lower energy costs and carbon emissions.
Threat:
Manufacturer warranty challenge
Solar control window film offers high solar protection and enhances aesthetics, but lower-quality films eventually discolour and break down. As a result, there is less demand for film products with warranties. The items are designed to last a minimum amount of time, however occasionally extreme weather prevents them from lasting as long as they should. Therefore, these elements might prevent the market from expanding.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 epidemic has significantly reduced demand for solar control window films in the construction and automobile sectors. Significantly impacted industries included construction and transportation, which restrained market expansion. The pandemic has had a tremendous impact on the globally connected automotive industry. The expansion of the solar control window film market was significantly damaged by the decline in auto sales. Additionally, this led to changes in the price of raw materials like polyethylene terephthalate.
The vacuum coated films segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The vacuum coated films segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to growth in the usage in automobiles. This is because these coatings reflect the most solar radiation compared to other films, keeping the interiors colder. Reflective window films are another name for vacuum-coated sun control films. These films' metal component deflects the sun's heat while also blocking potentially lethal UV radiation. These films are metalized utilising a variety of techniques, including beam deposition, vapour deposition, and sputtering.
The construction segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The construction segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the growing usage of these materials in commercial and residential buildings.
People's rising per capita income and growing population have fuelled the worldwide construction industry. Solar control window films have various benefits for the building industry. In addition to reducing the risk of skin conditions, blocking harmful UV rays increases office worker productivity.
Region with Largest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the growing construction spending and a high temperature. More sustainable energy use and green building materials have been encouraged by rising energy consumption brought on by the expanding population and bettering people's living situations. The rapid creation of contemporary buildings and structures with a high window to wall ratio, which results in high energy consumption, is also anticipated to propel the region's expansion.
Region with highest CAGR:
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the high availability of innovative solar control window films. The use of solar control window coatings to adjust a store's temperature is growing as governments in the area place more emphasis on reducing energy usage in buildings. In addition, the region is anticipated to increase as a result of the emerging trend of sustainability and rising energy prices.
