Global Laminated Glass Interlayer Film Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Laminated Glass Interlayer Film market size is predicted to grow from US$ 4140 million in 2025 to US$ 4996 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2025 to 2031.
The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.
Laminated glass is composed of two or more pieces of glass with one or more layers of organic polymer interlayers sandwiched between them. After special high-temperature pre-pressing (or vacuuming) and high-temperature and high-pressure processes, the glass and the interlayer are permanently Bonded as a composite glass product. Interlayer Film refers to the interlayer film used in the production of laminated glass. The Glass Interlayer Film industry can be broken down into several segments, EVA Interlayer Film, PVB Interlayer Film, TPU Interlayer Film, etc.
The laminated glass interlayer film (LGIF) market—covering polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and ionoplast sheets that bond safety glass. PVB dominates with ≈ 89 % share, reflecting its long-standing use in automotive windscreens and architectural façades, while newer ionoplast and acoustically-tuned films win premium niches.
Growth drivers. Three structural forces underpin the market’s current momentum. First, stringent safety regulations—from the EU’s EN 356 impact-resistance class to updated U.S. hurricane-zone glazing codes—now mandate laminated glass for high-risk façades, schools and hospitals. Second, the automotive industry is switching side- and rear-window glazing from tempered to laminated formats to meet pedestrian-protection and interior-noise targets; premium models already use up to 30 % more laminated glass than standard vehicles, and BEV makers value its noise-dampening and weight advantages. Third, the energy-transition agenda is elevating demand for interlayers that improve thermal insulation, integrate photovoltaic modules or host switchable privacy layers, placing LGIF firmly within green-building material strategies and building-integrated-PV (BIPV) road maps.
Regional landscape. Asia-Pacific leads with ~36 % of global revenue, fuelled by China’s skyscraper pipeline, India’s transport-infrastructure spree and an unrivalled automotive manufacturing base; regional capacity expansions in Malaysia and coastal China have shortened lead times and reduced reliance on imports. North America (~32 %) benefits from mature safety codes, a resurgent residential-retrofit segment and the Inflation Reduction Act’s incentives for domestic solar-glass and EV supply chains. Europe (~27 %) combines a deep architectural-glass tradition with aggressive decarbonisation rules: the revised Construction Products Regulation will require 40 % recycled content in interlayer films by 2027, spurring partnerships with chemical-recycling firms and near-shoring of resin capacity in Poland and Germany.
Opportunity set: The green-building wave is the single biggest upside lever. Next-generation low-E or solar-control interlayers can lift façade energy performance by up to 30 %, helping developers hit net-zero and LEED targets while commanding price premiums of three-to-five-times standard PVB. BIPV and curved double-glazing for electric vehicles are emerging billion-dollar sub-segments; LGIF makers with UV-stable, high-adhesion grades are already collaborating with leading PV module and EV OEMs. Circular-economy credentials provide another growth lane: recycled-content films such as Kuraray’s Trosifol R3 (up to 90 % CO₂ reduction) meet both buyer ESG mandates and looming EU waste-glass directives. Finally, pervasive urban noise drives appetite for acoustic interlayers that can shave 3–5 dB off traffic sound without thicker glass—key for premium automotive cabins and urban residential towers.
Risks and constraints. The business remains petro-feedstock intensive; PVB resin prices spiked 12–15 % during recent supply-chain shocks, squeezing margins in price-sensitive Asia and Africa. Energy-intensive lamination lines keep LGIF roughly 30–40 % costlier than tempered glass, restricting uptake in budget projects. Recycling hurdles persist because polymer-glass composites are hard to separate; today’s laminated-glass recycling rate hovers below 20 %, risking tighter end-of-life rules and extra compliance costs. Competitive pressure is intensifying too: the top five suppliers already capture ≈ 56 % of supply, yet Chinese entrants with high-speed extrusion lines can undercut incumbents by ~16 % in Southeast Asia, pushing prices toward commodity territory.
