The laminated architectural glass market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.73 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing integration of smart and energy-efficient laminated glass, expansion of decorative and high-performance glazing, rising use of sustainable interlayers, development of IoT-enabled glass solutions, growth in custom architectural glass designs. Major trends in the forecast period include development of smart laminated glass technologies, adoption of AI-based safety and performance monitoring, integration of IOT-enabled glass panels, expansion of sustainable laminated glass materials, deployment of high-performance laminating processes.

The increasing demand for building materials is expected to drive the growth of the laminated architectural glass market going forward. Building materials refer to the various physical products used in residential, commercial, and infrastructure construction projects. Demand for these materials is rising due to rapid expansion in construction and infrastructure development. Laminated architectural glass supports this demand by offering improved safety, energy efficiency, and visual appeal for modern building applications. For example, in October 2025, the Department for Business and Trade, a UK-based government department, reported that construction material spending increased by £111 million ($146 million) in Quarter 2 of 2025 compared with Quarter 1, rising from £2.14 billion ($2,826 million) to £2.25 billion ($2,972 million), a 5.2% increase. Therefore, the rising demand for building materials is driving the growth of the laminated architectural glass market.

Key players in the laminated architectural glass market are focusing on innovative solutions, such as low-carbon PVB interlayer laminated glasses, to reduce the environmental impact of building materials while complying with sustainability regulations. Low-carbon PVB interlayer laminated glass is an eco-friendly glazing option that uses a PVB interlayer manufactured with reduced carbon emissions, providing the same safety and performance advantages while lowering environmental footprint. For instance, in October 2024, Eastman Chemical Company, a US-based chemical firm, introduced Saflex LiteCarbon Clear, a next-generation, low-carbon PVB interlayer for laminated glass. This product significantly cuts the embodied carbon of laminated glazing by incorporating recycled content, helping architects and builders meet strict environmental standards. It retains the clarity, durability, and safety benefits of traditional interlayers and supports LEED and other green building certifications. Saflex LiteCarbon Clear is suited for facades, windows, and overhead glazing where both transparency and environmental impact are key concerns.

In January 2024, AGNORA, a Canada-based architectural glass fabricator, acquired West Coast Insulated Glass Products for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to strengthen AGNORA’s market position and expand its innovative glass offerings by combining expertise to deliver a wider product range and improved service, positioning the company as a one-stop solution provider for whole-home glass needs. West Coast Insulated Glass Products, based in the US, manufactures laminated architectural glass products for window and door makers.

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 influencing the laminated architectural glass market by increasing costs for imported PVB and EVA interlayers, tempered glass, acoustic glass, and solar control glass components essential for safety and architectural applications. Architectural, automotive, and aerospace installations in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America are most affected due to reliance on imported specialized glass and interlayer materials. However, tariffs are promoting local interlayer production, regional lamination facilities, and innovation in sustainable and smart glass solutions, enhancing supply chain stability and product offerings.

Laminated architectural glass is a specially engineered safety glass consisting of two or more glass layers bonded together with a strong interlayer such as polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), designed to keep the glass fragments intact if broken. This glass type is widely used in architectural settings, as it enhances safety and security while offering excellent sound insulation and UV protection, making it ideal for building facades, skylights, railings, and interior partitions.

The main product types in laminated architectural glass include tempered laminated glass, polyvinyl butyral (PVB) laminated glass, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) laminated glass, acoustic laminated glass, and solar control laminated glass. Tempered laminated glass is a safety glass created by combining tempered glass layers with an interlayer, usually PVB or EVA. It incorporates various technologies such as standard laminating, low-emission coatings, high-performance laminating, and smart glass technology. Distribution occurs through direct sales, online retail, distributors and wholesalers, and project-based sales. Its applications span civil and special architecture, serving end users in sectors such as architectural, automotive, aerospace, marine, and furniture.North America was the largest region in the laminated architectural glass market in 2025.
