Driving & Restraining Factors

Expanding Real Estate in Emerging Economies to Benefit the Market

The growth of the real estate industry has made way for the construction of large and impressive structures with modern amenities. The era of globalization has prompted the construction of vast commercial structures, such as office complexes, in many parts of the world, particularly in developing countries. Developed economies in the West have invested significant amounts of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in emerging economies to encourage industry growth and establish global brands in these countries. As a result, commercial offices and infrastructure have been built, incorporating premium architectural features such as glass curtain walls, which are becoming a major driving force in the market's growth.

High installation and Maintenance Costs to Restrain Growth

The attractive appearance of glass curtain wall buildings comes at a steep price. The installation and maintenance costs of the glass curtain wall system are significantly high. Manufacturers offer both standard and custom systems to meet the client's needs. However, for complex large projects, the cost of custom wall systems is highly competitive with standard systems. This requires the consumer to hire experienced design consultants, which adds to the overall project cost.

In addition, if air or water leaks occur in the curtain wall system, the repairs can be costly. To prevent such serious damage to the system, building management must invest a significant amount of money in maintaining the glass panels and other components that require skilled manpower. Therefore, many commercial projects consider other systems, taking cost factors into account, which ultimately limits the growth of the glass curtain wall market.
