The rise in residential construction is expected to drive the growth of the architectural window tint film market. Residential construction includes the building or renovation of living spaces such as houses, apartments, and condominiums. This growth is fueled by rapid urbanization, as expanding urban populations create increased demand for housing infrastructure.
