According to the report, one of the major drivers for this market is need for energy efficient buildings. Energy has become a crucial area for all countries to mitigate the effects of climate change. In buildings, the design and the construction materials have a direct impact on the heating, cooling and lighting needs. When the building façade is directly exposed to sunlight, it gradually heats up and transfers this heat inside. This usually increases the need for air conditioning for cooling and comfort, resulting in the rise of energy consumption.

Residential and commercial buildings worldwide account for a major share of electricity consumption. For instance, In India, residential electricity consumption makes up for around one-fourth of the country's total electricity consumption and is expected to increase six-fold by 2030. However, the impact can be reduced to 20%-25% by adopting energy efficient measures. Glass is believed to be one of these measures that contribute significantly to energy efficiency in buildings. Glazing can help achieve the best energy performance and minimize the overall environmental impact.
