Driving Factors

Rising demand for energy-efficient buildings to drive the United States windows film market growth during the forecast period. The increasing importance of energy consumption is an important driver that will drive market growth over the forecast period. The demand for energy-efficient buildings is growing as a result of limited resource availability and widespread environmental effects such as climate change and global warming. Buildings use a lot of energy, which adds extra CO2 to the atmosphere. According to a study conducted by the University of West London in the United Kingdom, buildings emitting CO2 emissions account for at least 43% of total emissions, with window facade systems accounting for 60% of building energy losses. Furthermore, the study suggests that using solar control films reduces cooling energy consumption by 35% annually while increasing the cost of annual heating energy by 2%. Window films are also known as E-films because they save energy.

Restraining Factors

The industry has been constantly in changing phases due to the adoption of new technologies. Different states have different policies and rules. As a result, manufacturers face enormous pressure because they must modify their manufacturing processes to meet varying requirements. According to the Motor Vehicles Act, the front and rear windshields must have more than 70% VLT (Visual Light Transmission), which means that no more than 20% tinting is permitted. This constrains market growth by imposing strict and varying norms.
