Architectural flat glass is a popular material in residential buildings, used for windows, doors, railings, patio covers, sunrooms, and partitions.

The growing investment in building construction and renovation is expected to drive demand for this product in the forecast period.
In 2023, the insulated glass segment held the largest revenue share. Insulated glass is known for its ability to enhance energy efficiency in buildings by minimizing heat transfer, resulting in reduced electricity consumption for heating or cooling purposes. As a result, there is an expected rise in product demand due to building codes and regulations that prioritize energy efficiency.

The demand for this product is mainly driven by new residential construction, repair, and remodeling activities, as well as commercial and industrial construction activities in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.For instance, in 2023, construction spending in the U.S. was around USD 1,978.7 billion, which is 7.0% higher than the previous year.
