The laminated glass market is expected to grow from USD 31.68 billion in 2024 to USD 54.50 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period. Market growth is mainly driven by increasing demand for safety and security in the automotive and construction industries, where regulations are increasingly requiring impact-resistant glazing to protect people and structures. In the automotive sector, stricter crash safety standards, the rising popularity of heads-up displays, the need for noise-reducing windshields, and the demand for lightweight yet durable materials in electric vehicles are fueling the demand for laminated glass. Likewise, in architecture, rapid urban development, the rise of high-rise buildings, and fire safety concerns are boosting the use of laminated glass in facades, windows, and doors. Growing consumer interest in acoustic comfort, UV protection, and energy-efficient glazing options is driving market growth. Technological advances, such as multi-functional interlayers and smart laminated glass with solar control features, are also increasing adoption. Finally, environmental sustainability pressures and the shift toward eco-friendly, high-performance building materials support the long-term demand for laminated glass as a preferred choice in both automotive and architectural applications.
