Laminated Glass Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

 Laminated glass is usually made of polyvinyl butyral, Laminated glass is a type of layered glass in which a laminated sheet is layered between two layers of glass. Laminated glasses consist of PVC layers inside them which stick to the glass if it breaks this keeps people away from getting hurt when glass breaks. Laminated glass is used for hurricane-proof walls, intrusion protection in homes, damage tolerance in car windshields, and other structural or safety reasons.            

Laminated Glass Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing use in construction and building applications

Constructional development is growing in recent times, glass has become an important element in the construction industry. There is a wide use of glass in interior and exterior construction of buildings Added safety aspects into modern designs with laminated glass is also projected to help the laminated glass market grow throughout the forecast period.

• Increase in infrastructural development over the globe

Foreign investment and rapid urbanization enhance infrastructural development. Good infrastructure helps the country's economy to bolster. For instance, the Indian government has paid a lot of money to enhance the infrastructural sector. Fore India is leading towards the world's best infrastructural development, where laminated glass has a high demand on projects such as the construction of bridges, dams, highways, and power plants, which is projected to drive the market growth of the laminated glass market during the forecast period.

Opportunities

• Use of lamination glass in automotive

Laminated glass is an extremely thicker, sturdier window. It is considered one of the safest kinds of glass due to its characteristics such as are not easy to break or shatter. Maximum vehicle windshields are made of laminated glass. A huge effort is needed to break in the laminated glass, which makes them considered effective for automotive industries and also creates an opportunity for laminated glass to propel in the market. 

• Rise in demand for laminated glass due to its features

The feature of laminated glass such as anti-shock, anti-break, and sound insulation make it used in high-end products such as bullet-resistant glass and hurricane-resistant glass, which is not provided in traditional glass. For instance, the Vine Hotel in Mexico has applied laminated safety glass for its exterior windows, doors, balustrades, and facades for guaranteeing safety against hurricanes and keeping a modern high-quality transparent look for the coming guest, which is building opportunity for the laminated glass market to grow.

Restraints

• High cost of installing laminated glass

Installing lamination glass are quite expensive. Complex machinery is needed for the production process of lamination glass. It needs high-cost materials to manufacture. The installation process needs extra labour which increases the additional charges for the customer, all these problems affect in high cost of laminated glass prices. This leads to the hampering of   laminated glass market growth

• Lack of reparability

The problem with laminated glass is, it cannot be reparable once it is miss handled or misplaced as compared to other construction materials such as wood, brick, or concrete which can be repaired by using different methods. The glass, once damaged, must be replaced. This may disappoint consumers to adopt laminated glass as a major construction component for residential apartments, which can create restrain for laminated glass market to grow
