Laminated Glass Global Market Report 2026

Laminated glass is a form of safety glass achieved by combining two or more sheets of float or tempered glass with one or more interlayers, processed through autoclaving at 1400 °C and pressures reaching up to 14 bars. The most prevalent interlayer in laminated glass is polyvinyl butyral (PVB), imparting strength and tensile safety, making it suitable for diverse industries like construction and building, automotive, electronics, and solar panels.

The primary types of laminated glass include polyvinyl butyral (PVB), sentryglas plus (SGP), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), and others. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is a commonly used resin in applications that demand binding, optical clarity, adhesion to glass surfaces, toughness, and flexibility. Predominantly employed as an interlayer in laminated safety glass for architectural and automotive applications, PVB enhances the strength of the glass. Various interlayers, such as polyvinyl butyral, ionoplast polymer, and others, find applications in building and construction, automotive, electronics, solar panels, and various other industries.

The strong demand for laminated glass from the construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the laminated glass market. Within the construction sector, the increasing trend of replacing cement, brick, and granite building facades with glass is leading to a surge in demand for laminated glass. Laminated glass is increasingly being used in commercial buildings and residential properties due to its features of durability, sound insulation, and impact resistance. For example, in March 2023, Oxford Economics, a UK-based economic information services firm, projected that the value of construction activity would increase from $9.7 trillion in 2022 to $13.9 trillion by 2037, driven by major construction markets such as China, the U.S., and India. Therefore, the substantial growth in the construction sector, along with the rising demand for laminated glass, is expected to boost the laminated glass market during the forecast period.

Major companies operating in the laminated glass market are focusing on developing innovative products such as ultra-lightweight laminated glass to reach a wider customer base, boost sales, and increase revenue. Ultra-lightweight laminated glass refers to a type of laminated glass that is exceptionally light and has a considerably lower weight compared to traditional laminated glass or other glass types. For instance, in September 2023, PGT Innovations, a US-based building product manufacturer, introduced Diamond Glass as the standard glass in its WinDoor product lineup. The key feature of this product is its remarkable qualities, being up to 45 percent lighter and providing three times the scratch resistance compared to conventional laminated glass. Diamond Glass can be used in both laminated and laminated-insulated windows and doors.

In June 2023, Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope, a US-based provider of architectural glass and building envelope solutions, acquired Syracuse Glass Company for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope intends to strengthen its laminated and architectural glass offerings by utilizing Syracuse Glass Company's expertise in custom-fabricated products, including laminated, tempered, and insulating glass. Syracuse Glass Company is a US-based manufacturer delivering high-quality laminated glass and related architectural glazing solutions for commercial, institutional, and residential projects throughout the Northeast region of the United States.
