Fire-resistant Glass Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
The rise in the development of commercial infrastructure is notably driving market growth, although factors such as high competition among vendors may impede market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Fire-resistant Glass Market Driver
The rise in the development of commercial infrastructure is notably driving market growth. Emerging economies, such as India, China, and other Asian countries, have witnessed a rapid increase in the urban population over the past decade. The increase in the global urban population has propelled infrastructure construction activities, such as the construction of residential buildings, roads, malls, and commercial properties.
Urban areas have been expanding, in terms of radius and height, along with the growth in the urban population. The construction of high-rise buildings is encouraging fire-resistant glass manufacturers to add advanced and innovative offerings, which can efficiently meet the specific demands of the construction industry, to their product lines.
Furthermore, fire safety systems are mandatorily required at airports, restaurants, and educational institutions. Even a small fire can result in a serious safety threat to the large population in these commercial spaces, owing to high footfalls. For instance, in November 2022, a Federal Express plane caught fire at Calgary International Airport in Canada. Hence, the development of commercial infrastructure is aiding the adoption of fire-resistant glass in construction, which, in turn, is likely to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Significant Fire-resistant Glass Market Trend
The increasing number of skyscrapers is the primary trend in the market. The increasing migration of people from rural areas and small towns to metropolitan cities for better opportunities and an improved lifestyle is leading to the rise in urbanization and driving the preference for modern architecture.
As a basic prerequisite, skyscrapers require structural resilience with regard to resisting fire and limiting the fire spread. In these respects, fire-resistant glass is very effective as part of the fire safety compartmentation and fire separation strategy that uses the construction and layout of a building to contain and isolate a fire. This is also leading to investments in skyscrapers. Various countries are investing in the development of skyscrapers. Hence, the rise in the number of skyscrapers worldwide will lead to increasing demand for glass curtain walls, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the global fire-resistant market during the forecast period.
Major Fire-resistant Glass Market Challenge
High competition among vendors is the major challenge impeding market growth. The market generates billions of dollars in revenue each year, but on the other hand, it faces a number of challenges, one of them being the highly saturated nature of the market. There is a very high market concentration in the construction glass industry, especially in densely populated urban centers that often account for the highest growth in the construction sector. The majority of construction glass applications come from skyscrapers or other high-rise buildings, which are usually more prevalent in urban areas owing to the shortage of space. These buildings offer high revenue potential to builders and land developers, thus making them a prime target for glass suppliers.
Building contractors have bargaining power in the market, as there is a surplus of glass suppliers to choose from. This excess supply from both local and international players will put downward pressure on pricing and thus make the market unattractive to new players. Thus, the high competition in the market will reduce the profit margin of the vendors, which will negatively impact the growth of the market during the forecast period.
