Europe Low-E Glass Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Low-e glass, also known as low-emissivity glass, is designed to reduce the amount of infrared light that enters a building's glass while not reducing the amount of light required to enter the homes. To reflect excessive heat, The low-e coating helps to keep the home temperature consistent by reflecting interior heat. There are two types of low-E coatings on the market: passive low-E coating (hard coat) and solar control low-E coating (soft coat). Soft coat low-E is the more efficient of the two because it provides superior solar control performance and has a large market in flexible packaging of various materials. Low-E glass is in excellent condition.
