Silicone Structural Glazing Market Report 2026

The silicone structural glazing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $46.13 billion in 2025 to $49.48 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to adoption of modern facade systems, increasing use of silicone sealants, growth in commercial construction activities, advancements in glazing materials, rising need for enhanced thermal performance.

The silicone structural glazing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $66.16 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of smart infrastructure projects, rising demand for energy-efficient buildings, increased investment in facade modernization, development of advanced silicone formulations, growing preference for frameless architectural aesthetics. Major trends in the forecast period include growing preference for frameless architectural designs, increasing use of high-performance silicone sealants, rising adoption of energy-efficient glazing systems, expansion of curtain wall and facade modernization projects, surge in demand for advanced structural glass applications.

The increasing demand within the building and construction sector is projected to drive the growth of the silicone structural glazing market in the future. Construction involves the on-site installation and assembly of equipment and materials according to approved specifications. The silicone structural glazing system protects the building from external conditions while supporting the curtain wall, which transmits wind loads to the design. For example, a report from TST Europe, a machinery parts manufacturer based in Switzerland, noted that total construction spending reached $1.98 trillion in June 2023, marking a 7.4% increase from the previous year. Thus, the rising demand in the building and construction industry is fueling the growth of the silicone structural glazing market.

Leading companies in the silicone structural glazing market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as high-performance sealants, to improve the durability, energy efficiency, and sustainability of building façades. High-performance sealants are advanced materials that offer strong adhesion, flexibility, and weather resistance, helping to seal gaps, prevent water and air leakage, and enhance the durability and energy efficiency of buildings. For example, in March 2024, The Dow Chemical Company, a US-based materials science company, introduced the industry’s first Carbon-Neutral Silicone Service for building façades at the Window Door Façade Expo China 2024. This service features carbon-neutral silicones specifically designed for structural glazing, insulating glass, and weather sealing applications. Verified by the PAS 2060 standard, the service uses renewable energy and responsibly sourced raw materials, such as 100% audited quartz and FSC-certified charcoal, helping construction partners reduce carbon emissions while maintaining durable, high-performance, and recyclable building solutions. The launch underscores The Dow Chemical Company’s commitment to supporting sustainable development in China’s building and construction sector and enabling partners to meet the country’s dual-carbon targets.

In May 2024, Dow Chemical International Private Limited (Dow India), an India-based materials science company, partnered with Glass Wall Systems to supply carbon-neutral DOWSIL Facade Sealants for building façades. Through this partnership, Dow India and Glass Wall Systems aim to provide carbon-neutral silicone sealants for building façades, reducing embodied carbon, promoting sustainable green-building practices, enhancing façade durability, supporting energy efficiency, and setting a global benchmark for environmentally responsible construction materials. Glass Wall Systems (I) Pvt Ltd, based in India, specializes in providing silicone structural glazing solutions.

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 are affecting the silicone structural glazing market by increasing the cost of imported glass, metallic frames, and silicone sealant raw materials, leading to higher production and installation expenses across structural glazing systems. The most impacted segments include four-sided structural glazing, total vision systems, and glass-based material categories, particularly in regions reliant on cross-border supply chains such as Asia-Pacific and Europe. Public and commercial infrastructure projects face slower adoption due to budgetary constraints, whereas domestic manufacturers may benefit from reduced foreign competition and greater incentives for local material sourcing. Overall, tariffs create supply-side pressures but also encourage localization and innovation in glazing technologies.

This silicon structural glazing 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.

Structural Silicone Glazing (SSG) is a curtain walling system that utilizes silicone sealants to connect ceramics, glass, metallic materials, or plastic panels to supporting frame components through an exterior adhesive junction. This technique enhances sound and heat retention, offering a modern alternative to traditional curtain walling and allowing for seamless designs with a frameless appearance.

Various types of silicon structural glazing exist, including four-sided structural, two-sided structural, total vision systems, and others. Four-sided structural glazing involves the joining of glass panels on all four sides and employs diverse materials such as glass and metals. This versatile approach finds applications in commercial, public, and residential settings, contributing to a wide range of structural and aesthetic solutions.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the silicone structural glazing market in 2025.
