Growing Use Of Energy-Efficient Solutions Is Up Lifting The Growth Of The U.S. Secondary Glazing Market
Increasing use of secondary glazing for a sound-proofing solution in the United States especially in buildings is significantly fostering the growth of the U.S. secondary glazing market. Expanding the glass industry in the country is another key factor augmenting the growth of the U.S. secondary glazing market. For instance, in the United States, the glass manufacturing revenue amounted to 31 billion U.S. dollars in 2019, based on a five-year annual growth rate of 2.9 percent. Increasing construction of the residential building in the country which utilizes secondary glass glazing is further projected to bolster the growth of the market.
Growing
construction activities in the United States will further favor the growth of
the market. For instance, the construction industry in the US has an average
annual expenditure of $1,231 billion. In 2019, the construction industry
generated $2 trillion in revenue in the US.
The
growing trend of using recyclable products such as Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to
produce the frame of secondary glazing is projected to propel the U.S.
secondary glazing market in the near future. The growing focus of government of
the United States on energy-efficient solutions to boost the real-estate sector
is also expected to accelerate the growth of the market. As per the report
published by Forbes, existing buildings account for 40% of North American
energy use, and also account for at least 35% of total carbon emissions.

In November 2019, Fenesta the
manufacturers of Aluminum and UPVC Windows & Doors launched a range of
high-tech UPVC windows and doors with noise-reduction and thermal insulation.
Secondary
glazing is any glazing that has been treated with an electrostatic charge to
improve its insulating properties and make it more effective in keeping the
heat in. This is often combined with some sort of energy-efficient (EEO) glass
so that the total insulation strength is increased. Secondary glazing is not
required in new construction, but it does have certain advantages. Secondary
glazing can be added to existing buildings to both increases thermal efficiency
and make cooling more cost-effective.
In
addition to providing insulation against heat loss, secondary glazing also
provides noise reduction and security. Insulating glass usually comes in pairs,
with one pane installed in front of another. Secondary glazed windows consist
of two or more panes of glass separated by a special air gap or sealed cavity
to prevent heat transfer through part of the structure envelope.
