Self-Cleaning Glass Market Expected To Reach USD 162.9 Million By Year 2026

According to the current analysis of Reports and Data, the global Self-Cleaning Glass Market was valued at USD 118.0 Million in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 162.9 Million by year 2026, at a CAGR of 4.1%. Self-cleaning glass is a low maintenance glass i.e. easier to clean and has both photolytic and hydrophilic properties. It is even anti-fog and water resistant. It is usually placed in such regions where manual cleaning is impossible. The layer is made up of titanium oxide which helps to break dirt which is effortlessly rinsed away by rain. The layer being hydrophilic even helps to wash off the grime.

Companies considered and profiled in this market study

The Global Self-Cleaning Glass Market study postulates constructive intuition globally which includes the companies who are the key players in Global Self-Cleaning Glass Market, such as Asahi Glass Co., Cardinal Glass Industries, Gevergel (FoShan) Engineering Glass Company Limited, Nippon Sheet Glass, Saint- Gobain, Guardian Industries, Tuff-X Processed Glass Ltd, Vitro Architectural Glass, Viridian Group and others.

Growth of construction industry due to building up of new high-rise buildings is a major factor fuelling up the growth of self-cleaning glass in this market. Rising demands for solar panels due to a shift of awareness towards the use of renewable energy is propelling the demand for self-cleaning glass.
