Energy-efficient windows are constructed with two or three glass panes sealed in a single unit, surrounded by a frame made from materials such as unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC), wood, or others. These windows prevent the exchange of heat between a chamber or room and the environment, promoting energy efficiency.
Energy-efficient windows come in various operating types, such as awning, casement, double hung, fixed, hopper, and sliding. Awning windows, for instance, open from the bottom up, with operation facilitated by cranking a handle and pushing the bottom of the sash outward. This design allows for excellent ventilation while effectively keeping rainwater out. The key components of energy-efficient windows encompass frames, glass, and hardware. Additionally, various glazing types contribute to energy efficiency, including double glazing, triple glazing, and other alternatives. These windows find applications in new construction, renovation, and reconstruction projects, catering to both residential and non-residential end-users.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs on glass, aluminum, and uPVC materials have impacted the energy-efficient windows market by increasing raw material costs and affecting global supply chains. Segments like double and triple glazing windows, and regions such as north america, europe, and asia-pacific are most affected due to import dependencies. Positive impacts include encouraging local manufacturing, boosting innovation in material alternatives, and promoting domestic production of energy-efficient windows.

This energy efficient windows market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The energy efficient windows market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $13.09 billion in 2025 to $13.74 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing awareness about energy conservation, adoption of double glazing in residential buildings, government incentives for energy-efficient buildings, rising urbanization and construction activity, demand for noise reduction and thermal insulation.
The energy efficient windows market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.26 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing construction of smart and green buildings, technological advancements in smart window coatings, increasing regulatory support for energy-efficient building materials, rising residential and commercial infrastructure investments, expansion in retrofitting and renovation projects. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of double and triple glazing windows, growing preference for upvc and wood frames, integration of smart window technologies, increasing demand for residential and commercial energy savings, expansion in new construction and renovation projects.
Increasing demand for construction activities is anticipated to drive the growth of the energy-efficient windows market in the coming years. Construction involves the process of combining various materials to create a structure at a specific location, following a detailed design and plan. Construction projects utilize energy-efficient windows to enhance energy performance by offering better insulation and natural lighting, lowering heating and cooling expenses, and supporting sustainable building practices that meet both environmental and economic objectives. For example, in October 2024, reports from the US Census Bureau, a US government agency, indicated that construction spending in August 2024 rose by 4.1 percent (+-1.6 percent) compared to the August 2023 estimate of $2,047.4 billion. Consequently, the growing demand for construction activities is fostering the expansion of the energy-efficient windows market.
Major players in the energy-efficient windows market are directing their focus towards product innovations, particularly in the realm of transparent glass coatings. These innovations aim to enable sustainable buildings to effectively regulate internal temperatures. Transparent glass coatings involve applying a thin layer or film to the glass surfaces of energy-efficient windows, enhancing their properties, appearance, or functionality while preserving transparency. For instance, in July 2023, Heat Cure Glass Coating, an India-based manufacturing company, introduced heat cure glass coating products for energy-efficient windows. These products feature a nanotechnology-based transparent liquid coating that provides protection from heat and harmful rays, ensuring a cool interior in summers and warmth in winters. The coating boasts a shelf life of up to 12 years without requiring maintenance and offers more than 76% visible light transmission over 3mm glass. This exemplifies a commitment to continuous innovation within the energy-efficient windows market.
In July 2023, Platinum Equity LLC, a US-based private equity firm, acquired JELD-WEN Australasia's windows and doors business for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Platinum Equity aimed to create a standalone building-products platform in the Australasian market to capitalize on long-term housing demand, accelerate innovation, and utilize its carve-out and operational expertise to drive growth. JELD-WEN Australia Pty Ltd is an Australia-based manufacturing and distribution company specializing in the design, production, and distribution of windows, doors, and related building products.
