Fire-Resistant Glass Market Size

Global Fire-Resistant Glass Market size was valued at USD 9.6 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 10.45 billion in 2024 to USD 20.68 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period (2025-2032). 

The increased incidence of fire accidents and growth in the construction sector is expected to fuel the global fire-resistant glass market growth during the forecast period.

Increased occurrences of fire accidents have led to higher expenditure by the national governments across the globe towards enhanced fire safety of buildings, both residential and commercial. Further, the increase in demand for housing projects and skyscrapers due to population growth toward economic centers of the country has compelled builders to undertake diverse residential projects with appropriate fire protection standards. All these drivers are expected to boost the market during the forecast period.

In addition, the increasing number of fire breakouts in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors has resulted in an increasing number of casualties, thus increasing the demand for fire-resistant glass. Moreover, the increasing trend towards the use of fire-resistant glass instead of traditional glass for various remodeling and renovation processes is also increasing the market growth. In addition to this, fire-resistant glass is also commonly used in the marine sector owing to its increased impact, acoustic, and thermal performance. Additionally, the increasing automobile industry is also fueling the demand for fire-resistant glass for the production of windscreens, windows, and interior glass. Apart from this, the increasing use of fire-resistant glass in the defense sector for armored personal carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, and observation equipment, is also driving the market growth. In addition, various governmental agencies have also instituted various safety standards with respect to the use of fire-resistant glass within homes and commercial structures to avert fire incidence.

Key Market Attributes

In a move to reinforce its logistics real estate holdings throughout Europe, Segro in September 2024 indicated that it had settled on a £552 million acquisition of Tritax EuroBox. Segro's strategy for long-term growth remains on course with this acquisition, enabling the company to capitalize on surging demand for quality-of-the-highest distribution and logistics hubs. The transaction also includes investors with better value by bringing an end to the significant undervaluation of Tritax shares. With e-commerce and supply chains continuing to grow, Segro establishes itself as a real estate leader in industrial and logistics by expanding market coverage and operating scale with the assets of Tritax EuroBox.

POLFLAM and PILKINGTON (NSG Group company) launched in December 2023 what can be termed as a breakthrough low-carbon alternative for traditional fire-resistant glass. By blending this black low-carbon float glass with the latest hydrogel interlayer technology, it reduces the embodied carbon of the new product to half that of conventional float glass. The innovation reflects the corporate commitment to sustainability in line with compliance with the lowest fire safety requirements across all tiers in the industry. According to global efforts to drive increased sustainability in construction and manufacturing, POLFLAM and PILKINGTON offer developers and architects a cost-effective means of meeting safety and carbon requirements while minimizing the environmental impact of fire-rated glazing systems.

Pyroguard Technical Fire Safety Group relocated to a new three-acre facility in Haydock in June 2021, significantly increasing its UK manufacturing capability. The increasing demand for high-performance fire-resistant glass products across various industries, including industrial use, commercial building, and transport, was the catalyst for this strategic move. Pyroguard will be capable of increasing output, create novel fire-rated glazing systems, and realize supply chain robustness from the increased manufacturing effectiveness of the larger production facility. Pyroguard is at the front of the field by making strategic investments in global-class production assets, keeping in touch with shifting safety requirements as well as anticipating the requirement for certified fire-proof glass solutions everywhere.
