Laminated glass refers to a type of safety gas that is obtained by combining two or more sheets of float or tempered glass with one or more interlayers and is processed by autoclaving at 1400 °C and pressures up to 14 bars. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is the most common interlayer used in laminated glass and makes it stronger and tensile safe for further use in various industries such as construction and building, automotive, electronics, and solar panels. The main types of laminated glass are polyvinyl butyral (PVB), sentryglas plus (SGP), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), and others. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is a resin that is commonly used in applications requiring binding, optical clarity, adhesion to glass surfaces, toughness, and flexibility. PVB is most commonly used as an interlayer in laminated safety glass for architectural purposes and automotive windscreens. The various interlayer used in laminated glass includes polyvinyl butyral, ionoplast polymer, and others and are used for building and construction, automotive, electronics, solar panels, and other applications.

Glass fiber reinforced concrete refers to a composite material or plastic that has been strengthened with fibers consisting of tiny glass fibers such as fine sand, cement, polymer, water, other admixtures, and alkali-resistant (AR) fibers and is used to make structural concrete products that are both strong and lightweight, such as building panels, exterior building façade panels, and architectural precast concrete. The main types of glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) are C30, C60, and C100. C30 GFRC is designed to withstand 30 Newton/28-day strength. C30 is a standard grade of concrete with secondary uses. It is recommended for the construction of load-bearing building structure members such as beams, foundations, columns as well as basements. The processes used for GFRC are spray, premix, and hybrid. GFRC is applied in commercial construction, residential construction, and civil and other infrastructure construction. The global glass fiber reinforced concrete market is segmented - 1) By Process: Spray, Premix, Hybrid 2) By Type: C30, C60, C100 3) By Application: Commercial Construction, Residential Construction, Civil & Other Infrastructure Construction The global glass fiber reinforced concrete market size will grow from $3.14 billion in 2022 to $3.62 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.3%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of the glass fiber reinforced concrete is expected to grow to $6.3 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 14.9%. Increasing emphasis on green buildings is significantly driving the growth of the glass fiber reinforced concrete market. Green buildings use glass fiber reinforced concrete as a predominant option for sustainable construction. As a result of the growing population and rapid urbanisation, various emerging and developed economies are witnessing rapid increase in green buildings. For instance, as of August 2020, the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has reported that India has effectively reached 7.17 billion square feet of 'Green Building Footprint,' and there are nearly 6,000 green projects and over 5.77 lakh acres of large development projects are under construction in India. Furthermore, with government and partners consultation, the IGBC has set a target of building 10 billion square feet of green buildings by 2022. Similarly, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) of the United States has reported that the number of green buildings is growing at a rapid pace. Thus, significant emphasis on green buildings will invariably create huge demand for green fiber reinforced concrete and is expected to propel the growth of the glass fiber reinforced concrete market going forward.

Major companies operating in the glass fiber reinforced concrete sector are focused on developing and using 3D printing solutions to strengthen their position. For instance, in May 2021, Branch Technology, a key construction tech company, created a category-defining project using 3D printing Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) with Tennessee Valley Federal Credit Union's newest office building. This is the world's first 3D-printed GFRC facade. It also establishes several other categories, including the first commercial building with a 3D printed building envelope in the United States and the first freeform 3D printed composite project. In March 2021, UltraTech Cement, an Aditya Birla group Indian-based cement company, acquired 3B BinaniGlassfibre by purchasing the company's pledged shares from the Bank of Baroda London. Ultratech Nathdwara Cement, a subsidiary of UltraTech Cement, revoked the pledged shares of 3B BinaniGlassfibreSarl Luxembourg with the Security Agent, Bank of Baroda London, and directed the bank to transfer the 3B shares to UltraTech. This acquisition helps UltraTech Cement to indulge in glass fiber solution businesses ranging from e-glass to various sustainable solutions. 3B BinaniGlassfibre is a Luxembourg-based key glass fiber solution company.

Insulating glass is made up of two or more glass window panes separated by a spacer material and sealed together at the edge. They are used to prevent significant heat transfer inside or out of a home or a building. IGUs, or insulating glass units, are used to keep buildings warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The main types of products in insulating glass windows are vacuum insulating glass (VIG), gas-filled insulating glass, and air-filled insulating glass. Isolating glazing (IG) with an evaporated area between the two sheets of glass makes up vacuum insulating glass (VIG). Due to this it achieves a high level of thermal insulation and reduces the transfer of heat to a low level. The different types of sealants include silicone, polysulfide, hot melt butyl, polyurethane, and others. The various spacer types involve thermoplastic, aluminium box, galvanized steel, intercept, and stainless steel box and are used by several sectors such as residential, and commercial. The global insulating glass window market is segmented – 1) By Product Type: Vacuum Insulating Glass (VIG), Gas Filled Insulating Glass, Air Filled Insulating Glass 2) By Sealant Type: Silicone, Polysulfide, Hot melt butyl, Polyurethane, Other Sealant Types 3) By Spacer Type: Thermoplastic, Aluminum Box, Galvanized Steel, Intercept, Stainless Steel Box 4) By End-Use Industry: Residential, Commercial The global insulating glass window market size grew from $12.73 billion in 2022 to $13.89 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of global insulating glass window is expected to grow to $18.95 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 8.1%. Increasing demand for energy-efficient buildings is expected to propel the growth of the insulating glass window market over the coming years. Energy-efficient buildings reduce the amount of energy required for heating and cooling, regardless of the type of energy used or the equipment used to heat or cool the structure. Insulating glass windows are used in energy-efficient buildings to prevent heat from escaping or entering a home or office. For instance, according to EnergyStar, a government-backed labelling program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy that promotes energy efficiency, in the year 2020, nearly 6,500 commercial buildings earned the ENERGY STAR, saving $1.6 billion and avoiding more than 5 million metric tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the increasing demand for energy-efficient buildings is driving the growth of the insulating glass window market.
