Jade Glass Market to Grow at Highest Pace Owing to
Rising Use in Exterior Glazing Applications
Jade glass is a silicate glass ceramic known for its
translucency, durability and resistance to thermal shock. It is majorly used in
exterior applications such as cladding, curtain walls and facade glazing where
ordinary glass is susceptible to breakage. The product offers high mechanical
strength and weather resistance compared to ordinary float glass. It has
widespread utilization in commercial buildings, airports, railway stations and
other infrastructure sectors. The jade
glass market is estimated to be valued at USD 1.18 Bn in 2024. The market is
expected to reach USD 4.44 Bn by 2031, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 18% from 2024 to 2031.
Key Takeaways
Key players operating in the jade glass market are AGC, Saint Gobain, PPG,
Pilkington, Taiwan Glass, Luck Glass Co., Qingdao Realfortune Home Design &
Creation Co., Ltd., and Tianjin U-LIKE Intl Co., Ltd. The rising demand from commercial
construction and infrastructure development sectors is a major factor driving
the growth of the jade glass market. Government investments in public transport
systems, airports expansion, and smart city projects in developing nations are
fueling the product adoption.
Advancements in manufacturing processes have led to mass production of jade
glass, reducing its costs and enhancing glass designers' creative scope. The
development of new production technologies helps glass manufacturers cater to
complex architectural requirements with ease.
Market Trends
One of the key trends in the market is growing preference for all-glass
curtain walls and facades in commercial buildings for enhanced aesthetics and
natural lighting. Jade glass is increasingly replacing ordinary float glass in
such applications due to its durability and resistance to thermal stress.
Adoption of solar control jade glass is growing as it can significantly reduce
cooling loads in buildings. Manufacturers are developing low emissivity
coatings for jade glass to enhance its solar control properties without
hindering visual light transmission.
