The global fire resistant glass market size reached US$ 4.7 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 8.5 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4% during 2022-2028.

Fire resistant or fire-rated glass refers to a specialty glass variant that provides protection against fire, smoke, and conductive heat transfer. It is either single- or multi-layered and is primarily classified as laminated, wired, tempered, ceramic and gel based fire-resistant glass. The glass restricts the spread of fire to a limited area without creating a claustrophobic atmosphere. It also offers several additional benefits, such as thermal resistance, shatter resistance, high impact safety, sound reduction, wide design potential, etc. As a result, fire-resistant glass is widely adopted as a safer alternative to conventional glass across the construction, marine, transportation and defense sectors.

Fire Resistant Glass Market Trends:
The growing levels of urbanization coupled with increasing demand for modern infrastructure projects are primarily driving the growth of the fire-resistant glass market. Furthermore, the rising incidences of fire breakouts across the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors have led to the escalating number of casualties, thereby augmenting the need for fire-resistant glass. Additionally, the growing shift from conventional glass towards fire-resistant glass for several remodeling and renovation activities is also augmenting the market growth. Apart from this, fire-resistant glass is widely utilized in the marine industry based on its enhanced impact, acoustic, and thermal performance. Moreover, the expanding automobile sector is also driving the demand for fire-resistant glass for manufacturing windscreens, windows, and interior glasses. Besides this, the growing adoption of fire-resistant glass in the defense industry for armored personal carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, and surveillance equipment, is also propelling the market growth. Furthermore, several government bodies have also introduced multiple safety standards pertaining to the adoption of fire-resistant glass in the residential and commercial buildings to ensure fire prevention.
