U.S. SECONDARY GLAZING MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

U.S Secondary Glazing Market - Growth Drivers

• Rising adoption of secondary glazing for a sound-proofing solution across buildings in the U.S region

One of the main reasons for the adoption of secondary glazing as a soundproofing solution across buildings in the U.S is rising noise pollution in cities, leading to a big issue for residents and company owners. Moreover, by establishing a barrier between the internal area and the outside world, secondary glazing provides an efficient way to reduce noise pollution. Furthermore, the greater emphasis on sUStainability and energy efficiency is another factor contributing to the growth of the secondary glazing market in the US.

Lack of awareness regarding the benefits of secondary glazing systems as an effective energy solution is projected to inhibit the market growth of US secondary glazing. Moreover, secondary glazing cannot be repaired but the window has to be repaired and is not a good match for older homes as double glazed are the modern solution, so they cannot match with the older style. Hence, such factors are expected to restrict the market growth of the secondary glazing.

• Aforementioned factors are expected to hinder the market growth

Issues such as heat-trapping heat are a major concern during summer and are expected to restrict the adoption of secondary glazing. While heat-trapping is advantageous in the winter, it can be uncomfortable and more expensive to replace during the summer when heat-trapping is taking place within the home. Thus, the previously listed elements are expected to hinder the market growth of secondary glazing over the forecast period.

Market Opportunities

• The rising installation of secondary glazing for security purposes

The rising installation of secondary glazing for security purposes is projected to benefit the market over the forecast period. Secondary glazing helps to enhance home security as it adds a barrier to the existing window and cannot be opened from outside, thUS it guards against forced entry. Therefore, the secondary window system provides a high level of defense due to the addition of extra locks and advanced glass specifications.

• Increasing USage of recyclable products

Increasing USage of recyclable products such as Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to manufacture the frame of the secondary glazing is expected to propel the market growth of the secondary glazing. Recyclable products reduce the overall cost of the system, which in turn offers a potential opportunity for the manufacturer’s secondary glazing in terms of increasing profit margin. Hence, the rising adoption of recyclable products is expected to foster market growth.
