Market Dynamics
Introduction
Solar control window film is a thin protective layer applied on the windows to reduce solar heat, block UV radiation, and moderate the amount of glare and visible light. Solar control window films are reflective or non-reflective. Reflective films are designed to absorb energy and reject solar energy, whereas non-reflective films are designed to absorb unwanted light and heat.
Market Drivers
These factors are expected to boost the demand for the market in the coming year:
- Major factors such as growing concern about UV protection, increasing demand from the construction industry, and strict regulations about energy consumption.
- In addition, the growing automotive industry and increasing concerns such as fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions reduction.
