Impact Resistant Glass Market was valued at around USD 27.1 Billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 7.4% between 2023 and 2032. Impact-resistant glass, often referred to as safety glass, is a specialized type of glass designed to withstand external forces and blunt impact without shattering into sharp shards. It typically consists of multiple layers, such as Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) interlayers, which hold the glass together upon impact
The growth of the impact-resistant glass market is driven by increasing safety and security concerns in the construction and automotive industries, where it is used to protect against break-ins, natural disasters, and accidents. Additionally, growing urbanization and infrastructure development have fueled the demand for impact-resistant glass in buildings and vehicles, further contributing to its market expansion.
