Silicone Structural Glazing Market Size, Share, And Trends By Type (Four-sided Structural, Two Sided Structural, Total Vision Systems, Others), By Material (Aluminum Structural Framing, Glass Panel, Silicon Sealant, Other), By End-Use Industry (Commercial, Public, Residential), And By Geography – Forecast From 2019 To 2024

Silicone Structural Glazing is a method that utilizes silicone adhesive to attach glass, metal or other panel material to the structure of a building. Wind load and other impact loads on the façade are transferred from the panel through the silicone sealant to the structure of the building. The market for silicone structural glazing is expected to have a significant growth in the forecast period driven by growth in construction of commercial, public and residential buildings. Advancement in glass technology and concerns for energy efficiency in buildings is expected to further fuel the market growth. However, the application of several other methods of glazing such as dry glaze and point supported glass system is expected to be a restraint for market growth.

By type, the four-sided structural system is expected to have a significant market share as it is largely used in commercial buildings to reduce energy consumption. By end-use, the commercial segment is expected to have a notable market share due to the rise in demand for glass façade system in commercial buildings. By geography, the Asia Pacific region, particularly China is estimated to have a significant market share owing to the rise in construction activities and the presence of major players in the region.
