What Main Forces Are Fueling Expansion In The Solar Control Glass Market?
The upward trend in global green building practices is a significant element influencing the expansion of the solar control glass market. Environmentally friendly and producing meager carbon emissions, green buildings benefit from the use of solar control glass, also known as green glass. This can be primarily used in the creation of sustainable structures, enhancing overall sustainability. For instance, in a report from RubyHome, an American real estate firm, in September 2023, the United States was recognized as the global front-runner in LEED-certified constructions and projects. The U.S accounted for more than 511 million square feet of construction efforts seeking LEED certification in 2022. Consequently, the escalation in green building practices is likely to amplify the need for solar control glass.

Which Key Trends Are Driving Changes In The Solar Control Glass Market?
In the solar control glass market, product innovation is a trend that's gaining prominence. Established market entities are pioneering sophisticated technologies, including energy efficiency innovations, in an attempt to consolidate their position. The term 'energy savings' denotes the measure of conserved energy, ascertained by comparing the volume of energy consumed prior and subsequent to an energy efficiency improvement. AGC Obeikan, a company based in the United Arab Emirates, unveiled a novel solar control-coated glass known as Stopray Ace-30T for the MENA market (encompassing countries in and around the Middle East and North Africa). Products from the Stopray line are particularly advantageous for countries with hot climates as they offer superior solar control. Double silver coatings on the Stopray Ace-30T are designed to enhance comfort and energy efficiency. The soft coating of this product reduces internal light reflection to a minimum, enabling a clear, unobstructed view of the outside while creating a warm, comfortable indoor atmosphere with sunlight.
