Window film is the self-adhesive polyester coating applied on glass to prevent a certain spectrum or quantity of sunlight to pass through it. In addition to light reduction, they help minimise heat and glare as well as provide protection against storm and vandalism damage. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) serves as the foundation for all types of window films because of its clarity, tensile strength, dimensional stability, and capacity to accept a variety of embedding treatments.
The increasing demand for energy-efficient solutions in buildings and vehicles is a major driver supporting window films market expansion, as window films help reduce solar heat gain and UV exposure. Additionally, the surge in construction activities, especially in emerging economies, is also contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, the need for enhanced safety and security features in buildings and vehicles is driving the demand for window films that offer these benefits. Finally, the rising demand for aesthetic and decorative solutions is also driving the market, as window films can enhance the appearance of windows while providing functional benefits.
Advancements in technology, increased demand from the automotive industry, and growing awareness of harmful UV radiation are trends leading to window films market development
June 2024
The Department of Municipalities and Transport in Abu Dhabi has approved around 30% of tinting of bus windows (except the windscreen) across the emirate. This measure aims to enhance passenger comfort and safety by combating harsh sunlight and reducing in-vehicle temperatures.
April 2024
Hyundai Motor Company has launched its own window film line, touted as the "world's first application of nano cooling film." This innovative film is designed to improve interior cooling performance by blocking external heat energy and emitting internal radiant heat.
October 2023
Privacy Glass Solutions has introduced PolarSHIELD UV-Activated Film, a cutting-edge solution providing 90% UV/IR blockage, heat reduction, and energy efficiency. It is suitable for residential, commercial, retail, healthcare, and hospitality applications, offering easy installation and durability.
Advancements in technology
Innovations like smart window films with adjustable tint levels are shaping the window films market outlook. In October 2021, a leading window film manufacturer, Eastman, unveiled its new dynamic window film technology, which can automatically adapt to changing light conditions.
Rising demand for energy-efficient solutions
The increasing focus on energy efficiency is driving the demand for window films. For example, 3M offers a range of energy-efficient window film solutions, which claims to reduce energy costs by up to 30% in commercial buildings.
Increased demand from the automotive industry
The automotive industry's growing demand for window films is driving window films market growth as these films offer privacy by reducing visibility from outside. A major car manufacturer, Toyota offers privacy window films on rear windows as a standard feature on all its new vehicle models.
Growing awareness of harmful UV radiation
Heightened awareness of the dangers of UV radiation has led to a surge in the use of window films for sun control and protection. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that window films can block up to 99.9% of UV rays, significantly reducing the risk of skin cancer.
The rate of skin cancer, specifically melanoma, has continued to rise despite the focus on cancer research and treatment. In the United States nearly 5 million people are treated for skin cancer every year, according to the U.S. Surgeon General’s report. The most frequent types of skin cancer are strongly linked to ultraviolet radiation exposure and around 90% cases of melanoma are caused by it. To reduce and prevent skin cancer, blockage of UV ray exposure is necessary and high-quality window films are effective in doing so as they block out 99% of UV radiation. This has significantly contributed to the market’s growth. Moreover, window films offer additional benefits, such as energy saving, reduced interior fading, increased security, and increased curb appeal of buildings and vehicles. However, cancer prevention remains the most essential advantage of window films.
