Low-E Construction Glass market size, share & industry analysis, By Coating Type (Hard Coating, Soft Coating), By Glazing (Single Glazing, Double Glazing, Triple Glazing), By End-Use (Building & Construction, Automobile, Others) and regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Low emissivity glass, often called low-e glass or low thermal emissivity glass, is a type of glass that emits low level of thermal energy. This type of glass is used for thermal insulation and maintaining the thermal control by absorbing and remitting the thermal radiations. Thus, in winters the heat originating from inside remains inside while in summers the heat in exterior of the room does not pass through the glass keeping the interior of the room cooler.

Increasing demand from industrial and residential sectors for low-e glass to regulate the temperature inside of any manufacturing facility or room is likely to create impact. Moreover, the technological advancement in the low-e glass, like making it dirt repellent and water repellent shall foster the market growth. The use of low-e glass in automobile sector to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle and increase the fuel efficiency. This is expected to boost the market growth.

However, blocking of the thermal radiation also includes blocking of radio and cell phone signals which can cause degradation in the cell phone reception. This is expected to limit the growth of the market.
