Driving Forces Behind Market Growth
The surge in fire incidents, particularly in residential and commercial buildings, has prompted governments worldwide to enforce stricter fire safety standards. Cooking appliance failures and smoking are among the leading causes of fires, necessitating the use of fire-resistant materials like glass capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1,500 ℉. This glass is widely used in doors, windows, partition walls, and stairways to prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and extreme heat.
The premium construction sector is another key growth driver, especially in developing economies where rising disposable incomes and a focus on aesthetic interiors are boosting demand. Major investments in luxury construction projects, such as the 25,000-square-foot luxury apartment building in New Jersey (June 2020) and Hines and Humphreys Capital’s 326-unit midrise project (September 2020), highlight the increasing adoption of fire-resistant glass in high-end residential and commercial developments.
