According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the North America Solar Control Glass Market size is anticipated to reach USD 4.08 Billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 9.52% from 2025 to 2035. The market is driven by rising demand for energy-efficient buildings, rapid urbanization, stringent carbon emission regulations, ongoing technological advancements in glass manufacturing, burgeoning energy costs, and expanding infrastructure development in emerging markets

Market Overview

Solar control glass is a product of modernization that has become an essential part of buildings and cars in terms of energy efficiency. The specialized glass featured solar control is basically a coating material that reflects or absorbs solar radiation. The amount of heat and glare that comes in through a window is reduced to a great extent. It is also possible to keep the indoor environment comfortable and save energy that would otherwise be consumed by the air conditioner. The use of this kind of glass is almost universal in office buildings, hotels, and even the malls with large glass facades, where they do it to manage the solar heat gain and for easier productivity and comfort of the occupant.

ATMOS, the first low-carbon glass in the region, was formally introduced in September 2025 by Cebrace, the South American pioneer in flat glass. The debut, which happened last week at the Glass South America trade show in Sao Paulo, represents a significant turning point in the effort to find more environmentally friendly glass alternatives.

NSG Group takes great delight in revealing the proposal to invest in more transparent conductive oxide glass production capacity in the U.S. as a means of assisting the solar market, which is progressively growing. One of the main factors pushing the market up is the continuous rise of government initiatives worldwide to enforce regulations for environmental preservation and make the processes cost-effective. Moreover, the market growth is receiving substantial support from technology and glass manufacturing process innovations.

Driving Factors

The solar control glass market in North America is driven by energy consumption in buildings and vehicles battle that keeps getting more and more focus. Solar control glass's contributions to lowering heat gain are immensely significant, which ultimately results in less air-conditioning needed, thereby saving energy and reducing electricity bills. Government regulations and initiatives like the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED certification and the federal Energy Star Program are quite strict, but they do provide considerable financial support, such as incentives and tax deductions, for the use of energy-efficient materials.

Restraining Factors

The solar control glass market in North America is hindered by the higher initial cost than standard glazing solutions, which is the main reason for not using it in projects that are very sensitive to price, particularly in residential areas. Changes in the price of basic materials like silica sand and soda ash could influence the costs of production and thus limit the market growth.

Market Segmentation

The North America solar control glass market share is categorised into type and application.

• The hard coating segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The North America solar control glass market is segmented by type into hard coating and soft coating. Among these, the hard coating segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of the segment is driven by hard-coating solar control glass, which is produced by a pyrolytic process that joins the coating to the surface of the glass, thereby increasing its resistance to environmental damage. This trait allows it to be used for outside applications where prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions, such as high humidity, wind, and UV radiation.

• The commercial segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.  

Based on application, the North America solar control glass market is segmented into commercial buildings, residential buildings and automotive. Among these, the commercial segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The segmental growth is driven by the increasing demand for energy-efficient solutions in office buildings, shopping malls, and other large commercial structures. Cutting operational costs is the target of businesses, and hence, they are turning towards solar control glass, which is one of the factors leading to lower reliance due to its heat gain reduction feature.
