Global Windows Films Market Drivers:

Growing demand for security window films is primarily driving growth of the windows films market. These glass are widely used in automotive, building and construction, and transportation industry. Moreover, these glass helps to protect against vandalism, break-ins, terrorist bomb attacks, natural disasters, accidents, reduce heat to a building, and reduce the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays, among others.

Increasing focus on reducing carbon footprint is again anticipated to foster market growth. According to the Global Carbon Project (GCP), the global carbon-dioxide emissions reached 36.81 giga ton by 2019. Countries, such as China, the United States, and India, dominated the world CO2 emissions, with shares of 28%, 14.5%, and 7.3%, respectively, in 2019.

Global Windows Films Market Opportunities:

Growing initiatives by government to raise the awareness regarding sun protection in order to prevent skin cancer is expected to bring lucrative growth opportunities. For instance, the INTERSUN program has been initiated by World Health Organization (WHO) and partners, encouraging and evaluating research on the health effects of UV radiation, developing guidelines and recommendations focused on protecting and educating on the damaging effects of overexposure to the sun, harmful health effects of artificial sunbeds, using the UV index tool to raise awareness about the health risks of UV exposure and protective measures, shielding outdoor workers who are exposed to UV radiation. UV window films cut out about 99% of UV rays helping to slow the effects of fading and the associated damages that can be caused.

Rise in marine industry is expected to serve significant growth opportunities in the near future. For instance, in Australia, the marine industry is projected to increase significantly, due to the growing investments, exports, and shipbuilding activities. In 2019, the Australian government announced an investment of AUD 329 million to transform the marine sector. It launched the largest ever Cooperative Research Center (CRC) to enhance marine-based industrial activities.
