SPANDREL GLASS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global spandrel glass market size was valued at USD 2.47 billion in 2023 and is projected to touch USD 3.47 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period. 

The parts between floors in multi-story buildings where building elements are housed are known as spandrels. The glass encompassing the spandrel sections is alluded to that as spandrel glass when a structure has a smooth complete glass facade. Although spandrel glass can be used on the outside of a structure, it is typically heat treated and insulated to guarantee that it has qualities similar to those of an actual wall. Spandrel glass does indeed have interior and exterior applications. Interior glass is exempt from these requirements. The reflecting nature of glass frequently contributes to its ability to conceal the area behind it.

Spandrel is a translucent glass product made for applications other than eyesight. This eco sustainable water-based silicone coating from ICD High Efficiency Coatings + Chemistries is frequently applied to the building facade to hide mechanical components, insulation, slab ends, and certain other unsightly construction elements. It is a non-visual application that is intended to be opaque in order to help conceal the areas in between floors of the building, comprising insulation, vents, wires, slab ends, and mechanical equipment, in contrast to vision glass, that is meant to be transparent.

COVID-19 Impact: Supply and Demand Chain Were Disrupted Due to Restrictions Imposed

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The sudden emerging of pandemic which brought about lockdown, as the disease entered several industries value and supply chains, including the spandrel glass market. It caused some of the industries to slow down their activities, the industrial venture of many companies came to halt their work in 2021. This happening negatively hampered the spandrel glass market growth till 2021. Owing to the brighter side the rule out of the restrictions imposed and relaxation to lockdown stirred up the spandrel glass market growth. Augmenting the requirement from construction, electronics, and telecommunication industries is boosting the spandrel glass market share.

LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Use in Facade and Curtain Wall Applications to Propel the Market Growth

Despite vision glass, that is intended to be translucent, spandrel glass is a kind of non-visual application that is made to be obscure in order to help conceal objects such as insulation, vent, wire, slab ends, and mechanical equipment in the spaces between floors of a structure. Glass facades are used on buildings not only to enhance its beauty but also to shield the structure from the damaging impacts of cold, heat, and rain. It is crucial in providing fire protection and soundproofing the building. A professionally planned and implemented facade insulation system can cut heat loss from a building by far more than 50%. Quality spandrel insulation also stops noise from noisy urban areas from penetrating glass facade buildings.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Construction Industry Globally to Drive the Market Demand

The construction sector is constantly changing and growing. Every year, emerging innovations in the sector arise as a result of developments in technology and a sharper emphasis on sustainability. Numerous trends that are emerging in the world's marketplace are being reflected in the rising building sector. The forecasts for the expansion of the construction industry are as encouraging as ever. The major construction sectors of residential house building works, non-residential housing structure, infrastructure emphasis on building, land sub - division, and massive engineering construction are all undergoing significant change due to their respective sets of trends and problems, which will have a significant impact on the future course of construction companies.

Growing Popularity Of Energy-Efficient Buildings To Fuel Up  The Market Growth

Under the influence of both customer and regulatory demand, construction projects are concentrating on sustainable infrastructure. In order to reduce the environmental impact of infrastructure projects, it is becoming more and more popular to use eco-friendly construction equipment and stay away from products that contain volatile organic compounds. Additionally, growing is the use of sustainable building techniques and certification. Future sustainable cities would greatly benefit from the use of energy-efficient building strategies during both construction and operation.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Deterioration and Corrosion Caused to Expel the Market Share

Because they are installed on the exterior of the building, spandrel glass is frequently more vulnerable to humidity than floor beams, which causes the steel reinforcing them to corrode or deteriorate. Reconstruction costs are high as a consequence of asphalt cracking and chewing.
