Commercial Curtain Wall Systems Market Report 2025

The commercial curtain wall systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $46.83 billion in 2024 to $50.41 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth observed during the historical period is due to factors such as increasing urbanization, higher demand for high-rise commercial buildings, a rising need for green building certifications, expanding commercial real estate development in emerging markets, and increased construction of commercial complexes.

The commercial curtain wall systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $66.85 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period is driven by rising demand for prefabricated façade systems, greater focus on energy-efficient commercial infrastructure, the expansion of data centers and tech parks, more retrofitting of existing commercial buildings, and heightened attention to acoustic and thermal performance. Key trends expected during the forecast period include technological progress in adaptive glazing systems, advancements in prefabricated curtain wall modules, innovations in AI-enabled façade monitoring, increased investment in R&D for dynamic shading systems, and breakthroughs in integrated solar curtain walls.

The increasing construction of commercial buildings is expected to drive the growth of the commercial curtain wall systems market in the coming years. Commercial buildings, which primarily serve business purposes such as offices, retail stores, hotels, and warehouses, are designed to support commerce and generate revenue. The rise in commercial building construction is fueled by rapid urbanization, with more people moving to cities and increasing the demand for office spaces, shopping centers, and other business-related infrastructure. Curtain wall systems are beneficial for commercial buildings as they improve energy efficiency, allow natural light to penetrate interiors, and provide a sleek, modern exterior without bearing structural loads, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. For example, according to a report published by the US Census Bureau in July 2025, educational construction in the US reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $111.8 billion in May, marking a 0.2% (±2.1%) increase from the revised April estimate of $111.6 billion. Hence, the growth in commercial building construction is contributing to the expansion of the commercial curtain wall systems market.

Leading companies in the commercial curtain wall systems market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as high-performance curtain wall systems to boost thermal efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and comply with increasingly stringent building codes and sustainability standards. A high-performance curtain wall system is an advanced building facade designed to maximize energy efficiency, thermal insulation, and weather resistance while adhering to modern sustainability and performance requirements. For instance, in October 2023, Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope (OBE), a US-based provider of architectural glass, metal, and hardware, launched an extension of its Reliance curtain wall series. The Reliance-TC LT is a high-performance, lightweight, and cost-effective system tailored for IECC Zones 4-8. With a slim 2" sightline, it delivers excellent thermal and seismic performance alongside modern aesthetics, attracting architects and glazing professionals. Featuring a U-factor of 0.29, this double-pane system provides superior insulation against extreme climates across the U.S. and Canada, establishing a new benchmark in its category.

In March 2023, Exchange Income Corporation (EIC), a Canada-based diversified acquisition-oriented company, announced the acquisition of BVGlazing Systems for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows EIC to expand its presence in the building envelope sector by integrating BVGlazing’s curtain wall and railing systems with its existing window wall business, offering comprehensive solutions for mid- to high-rise construction projects. BVGlazing Systems Ltd. is a Canada-based, specializes in designing, engineering, manufacturing, and supplying high-performance commercial curtain wall systems.

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.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

Commercial curtain wall systems are non-load-bearing exterior walls, usually composed of glass, aluminum, or other lightweight materials, used on commercial buildings to create an attractive façade while shielding the interior from weather conditions. These systems are attached to the building’s structural framework and are designed to permit natural light, improve energy efficiency, and enhance aesthetics.

The primary product types in commercial curtain wall systems include stick-built, unitized, and others. Stick-built curtain wall systems are assembled directly on-site, with individual components such as vertical mullions and horizontal rails put together piece by piece. These systems utilize various materials such as aluminum, glass, steel, and others, and feature technologies including automatic systems, manual systems, smart curtain walls, and energy-efficient systems. They cater to a variety of end users, such as construction, real estate, and others.
