 Overview, Definition and Report scope of Silicone Structural Glazing Market by Type (Four-Sided Structural, Two-Sided Structural, Total Vision Systems), Material (Aluminum Structural Framing, Glass Panel, Silicone Sealant), End Use (Commercial, Public), and Region

Silicone Structural Glazing is the use of a silicone sealant for the structural transfer of loads from the glass to its perimeter support system and retention of the glass in the opening. The insulating glass used in structural glazing must be silicone units. Structural glazing systems, in their simplest form, are types of structural silicone glazing curtain wall systems consisting of glass that is bonded or anchored back to a structure without the use of continuously gasketed aluminum pressure plates or caps. The glass can be comprised of monolithic, laminated, dual-glazed or even triple-glazed insulating glass units (IGUs). The backup structure may use horizontal and/or vertical aluminum mullions or be a glass mullion, steel blade, cable, or stainless steel rod. The interior and exterior may use extruded silicone/EPDM gaskets, or a wet sealed silicone depending on the system. This system creates a completely clean, flush exterior appearance while the interior members have varied options depending on design and budget.

Asia Pacific region accounted for the largest share of the global silicone structural glazing market. As the market for silicone structural glazing in developed countries is maturing, markets in developing countries such as China and India are projected to grow at the highest rates from 2020 to 2027. The Asia Pacific market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR compared to those of other region-level markets, owing to an increase in usage of silicone structural glazing in end-use sectors such as commercial, public, and residential buildings. China is projected to be the fastest-growing country-level market in the region for the silicone structural glazing market. The growth of the building and construction industry, coupled with the rising need for green buildings has resulted in the rise in demand for silicone structural glazing in the region.

Growing urbanization in the developed countries will boost the infrastructure in sectors such as transport and power. Moreover, technological advancements in the construction and infrastructure industries are changing the nature of infrastructure investment, as well as its promptness and efficiency. These factors will, in turn, have a positive impact on the demand for silicone structural glazing. The increasing disposable incomes, attributed to the growing population globally, will fuel the market growth. Moreover, the rising investments in smart cities in the emerging economies will also boost the demand for silicone structural glazing worldwide.

Additionally, structural glazing spacer tapes are a key component in structural silicone glazing applications. Spacer tapes provide both consistent spacing between the glazing panel and structure, as well as an established area where structural silicone sealant can be applied. Spacer tapes provide a spacing function that regulates the correct application of structural glazing sealant, critical in structural silicone glazing systems.

The global Silicone Structural Glazing market is valued at 27276.18 million US$ in 2020 is expected to reach 63982 million US$ by the end of 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.9% during 2021-2030.
