Additionally, with consumers around the globe realizing the benefits of green buildings and valuing eco-friendly techniques and solutions for the construction of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, this contributes toward energy efficiency and cost-efficiency, and sustainability is expected to drive the market demand. The growing consumer demand for green building construction has paved the path for technological advancements and innovations, fueling the market’s growth in the forecast period. With this surge in demand for green buildings, manufacturers worldwide are working on bolstering their research and development activities in order to deliver high-quality products, enhancing their product portfolio for varied end-use customers. The use of decorative glass may prove to be an excellent way to utilize daylight in a controlled manner. Other possible applications include indoor green spaces, acoustic control where laminated glass is better in performance than monolithic glass, interior sun shading; and providing improved visual comfort.
Furthermore, green construction involving green materials might be expensive at the initial level, but in the long run, it would contribute to being highly cost-efficient.

The growing demand for innovative architectural designs is favouring the demand for the use of decorative glass, fueling the market growth in the forecast period in the APAC region. This increasing demand for decorative glasses can be attributed to rising disposable income, urbanization, and the adoption of modern living conditions. According to the United Nations ESCAP, the Asia Pacific region will become majority urban in the year 2019 for the first time in human history. Over 2 billion individuals are living in the cities and this is creating a need for sustainable urban development in the forecast period and in the upcoming years. The cities in 2030, 2050, and 2100 will be completely transformed from what they are now according to the demographic composition, and the way, technology is being implemented.

This is further contributing to the growth in the GDP. In 2020, Asia’s GDP is expected to overtake the combined GDP of the rest of the countries in the world (source: World Economic Forum).
China, India, Japan, and Indonesia are among the top 12 countries of the world contributing to the global GDP. With a highly fragmented consumer base, India is considered among the largest glass consumers in construction, the glass market is gaining momentum showing strong growth prospects for decorative flat glass in the forecast and in the coming years. Also, with significant advancements in technology, the market in the APAC region will continue to proliferate in the upcoming years as well.
