Window Films Market – Trends and Opportunities

High demand for energy-efficient buildings is expected to boost the global window films market during the forecast period. The demand for energy-efficient buildings is growing as a result of limited resource availability and widespread environmental repercussions such as global warming and numerous climate changes. Buildings use a lot of energy, which contributes to the increase of CO2. According to research done by the University of West London in the United Kingdom, building CO2 emissions makeup nearly 43% of overall emissions, with window façade systems accounting for 60% of building energy losses. According to the study, using these films reduces yearly cooling energy use by 35% while increasing annual heating energy costs by 2%. Moreover, as they save energy, these films are often known as E-films.

The expanding building and construction sectors in emerging economies such as China and India are likely to boost the global window films market. The expanding awareness of its advantages and the rise in disposable income can be related to the growing demand. Increasing demand for window films in the commercial and residential sectors is also anticipated to boost market growth during the forecast period.

Window Films Market – Regional Landscape

The window films market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow due to increased demand from end-use industries, including construction and automotive. Moreover, rising population and subsequent urbanization in nations such as China and India, combined with an expanding number of businesses utilizing window films, is anticipated to strengthen the growth of the window films market in Asia Pacific. Furthermore, increased attempts to reduce carbon emissions by using cooling films in buildings is another factor projected to boost the window films in Asia Pacific.

The North America window films market is likely to witness growth due to significant investments made within the region.
