Global Laminated Glass PVB Interlayer Film Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Laminated Glass PVB Interlayer Film market size is predicted to grow from US$ 2158 million in 2025 to US$ 2446 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.1% 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.
PVB interlayer film refers to polyvinyl butyral-based plastic sheet used as the bonding layer between two or more glass panes to form laminated safety glass. It plays a critical role in enhancing the safety, acoustic, and optical performance of the final glass unit.
PVB interlayer films dominate the laminated glass interlayer segment, accounting for over 85% of global volume, owing to their superior adhesion to glass, excellent optical clarity, effective UV shielding, and strong safety and acoustic properties.
The construction sector remains the largest consumer of PVB interlayer films, particularly for architectural safety glass used in facades, curtain walls, railings, and skylights. Growing concerns around natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes, have led to stricter building codes, particularly in the United States, Europe, and parts of Asia, mandating the use of laminated glass in certain building envelopes. In addition, demand is expanding due to the growing use of soundproof glazing in urban environments, where acoustic comfort in residential and commercial buildings is becoming a premium feature. Simultaneously, automotive glazing—especially windshields and, increasingly, side and rear windows—is a key driver of demand for PVB films. As electric vehicles (EVs) grow in market share, their need for lightweight, sound-insulating, and high-clarity glass solutions accelerates demand for advanced PVB interlayers with acoustic and thermal performance enhancements.
From a regional standpoint, the Asia-Pacific region dominates the global PVB interlayer film market, contributing more than 35% of global revenue. China, in particular, accounts for a substantial share of laminated glass and interlayer production capacity, supported by large-scale infrastructure development, rapid urbanization, and an enormous domestic automotive industry. India and Southeast Asia are also emerging as important markets, as governments implement stricter construction safety codes and invest in smart city and high-speed rail projects. North America, holding about 30% of market share, continues to show stable growth, propelled by stringent building regulations (especially in hurricane-prone areas such as Florida and the Gulf Coast), high automotive safety standards, and renovation demand in the residential sector. Europe, accounting for about 25% of global demand, is leading the push for sustainable construction practices and low-carbon materials. EU regulations mandating higher energy efficiency and environmental product declarations (EPDs) in building materials are fostering growth in high-performance and recycled-content PVB films.
The opportunities in the PVB interlayer film market lie in its evolving performance capabilities and alignment with environmental and regulatory priorities. One of the most promising areas is the development of advanced acoustic PVB films, which reduce noise transmission by 3–5 decibels compared to standard films. This has led to widespread adoption in high-end automobiles, luxury apartments, and airport terminals. In addition, PVB films are now being engineered to provide solar control, infrared reflection, and enhanced UV filtering, which contribute to building energy efficiency and occupant comfort. The intersection of laminated glass and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) also presents a growth vector, as glass surfaces increasingly double as energy generators. Another promising opportunity is the circular economy, with recycled-content PVB films gaining traction. Leading manufacturers are investing in closed-loop recycling systems to reclaim PVB from end-of-life laminated glass, aligning with both corporate ESG goals and upcoming regulations in the EU and North America.
Despite its strengths, the PVB interlayer film market faces several risks and challenges. One primary concern is the volatility in raw material prices, particularly polyvinyl alcohol and butyraldehyde, which are petroleum-based feedstocks. This makes the market vulnerable to supply chain disruptions and oil price fluctuations. The energy-intensive lamination process also poses a barrier to sustainability and cost-efficiency, especially in developing countries.
