MAY 2023CONSTRUCTIONBUSINESSREVIEW.COM6Few architectural elements contribute to a building's visual appeal and physical comfort in as many ways as glass. Even as the room for creativity becomes narrower due to changing energy efficiency codes, design teams can rely on high-performance glass, which strikes the right balance between performance and aesthetics.According to a report by grandviewresearch.com, the global flat glass market was valued at $273.43 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3 percent from 2022 ­ 2030. The steady growth rate can be attributed to the increasing penetration of glass architecture in residential and non-residential constructions.The demands for sustainability, thermal performance, and energy efficiency continue to drive innovation, making heat reduction, light control, and environment-friendly applications that can be implemented in glass integral to architectural design. Coated glasses offer a higher thermal performance by preventing heat from escaping buildings in cooler climates. High-performance glazing offers additional benefits to buildings in warmer climates by keeping interior spaces cooler and lowering air conditioning costs. At the same time, laminated glass reduces the risk of injuries from broken glass, improves interior acoustic comfort, and offers unique aesthetic options via colored or translucent polyvinyl butyral interlayers.This edition of Construction Business Review delivers a bird's-eye view of the recent developments in the architectural glass arena and insights into how organizations are aligning with these trends and adopting new ways to shape the future of construction design.We have curated thought leadership articles from industry experts, including the Director for Project and Development Services Singapore at Cushman & Wakefield and the Director of the Innovative Technology Design Group at DLR Group.We also took a deep dive into the market trends to narrow down the list of companies delivering innovative architectural glass solutions.
