Market Introduction
The North America laminated glass market is a highly fragmented market with the presence of considerable regional and local players providing numerous solutions for companies investing in the market arena. Bulletproof glass is an essential element of security systems. It is used in residential buildings, defense vehicles, premium vehicles, cash trucks, and other such application areas. It is constructed by using layers of laminated glass, which is made up of multiple or thick layers of glass and interlayers that are designed to withstand bullets. Depending on the thickness of the glass and the materials used, various layers and thicknesses can create an impact-resistant glass that can survive the force of certain bullets fired from a handgun or rifle. Bulletproof laminated glass is available for a wide range of applications as such a glass increases protection levels for higher-risk facilities and institutions. Rising concerns regarding safety and security across the region is likely to create a demand for bulletproof laminated glass, thus, providing opportunities for the market growth over the next few years.
The US has the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases among all key countries in the region. This has negatively impacted the overall manufacturing processes, research, and development activities. However, on May 26, 2021, 288 million doses have been administered in the US, and the governments are also planning to revive their operations soon. Slowly and gradually, manufacturing units are being operationalized and various industries are recovering, which will positively impact the laminated glass market. For instance, construction activities in the US are deemed an essential service. In particular, the US saw an increase in residential construction activities in 2020. According to the US Census Bureau, new private home projects were up 6.7% over 2019, a trend that is expected to continue. Thus, the recovering construction and automotive industries will increase the demand for laminated glass in the upcoming years.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The laminated glass market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 3,023.18 million in 2021 to US$ 4,277.03 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2021 to 2028. The rising awareness about multiple advantages of laminated glass in commercial and industrial applications is adding to its demand. Various benefits of using laminated glass include safety, security, reduced noise pollution, reduced emissions, UV control, weather/natural disasters protection, durability, and design versatility. The strength of a laminated glass can be up to five times than that of an ordinary glass. The main advantage of laminated glass is its robust performance under harsh impact. Under any such circumstance, a laminated glass may break, but its fragments remain firmly attached to the interlayer. It does not shatter like ordinary glass, ensuring safety and reducing the risk of injuries. Hence, there is a high demand for laminated glass due to its shatterproof properties. Another benefit of laminated glass is its ability to provide increased security to a business or property. It is designed to withstand bullets and bomb blasts, using multiple or thick layers of glass and interlayer. It causes noise waves to become disrupted when they travel through the material, helping reduce noise pollution. Due to this, laminated glass is extensively used in high-traffic areas and urban cities with a high level of noise pollution. Moreover, laminated glass blocks 99 % of the UV-light transmission. Laminated glass also finds significant usage in the automotive industry due to its various advantages, such as resistance to shattering, soundproofing, and high strength. The continued expansion in the automobile industry has boosted the demand for laminated glass. Furthermore, there is an increasing demand for customized architectural glass.
