Solar Control Films Market Future Prospects
The global solar control films market size is USD 851.5 million in 2024, which is projected to reach USD 1,310.8 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% during 2025–2032. This can be ascribed to the rising awareness of the advantages of solar control films over sun-reflective glass, increasing real estate development rate, and surging focus on the reduction of energy costs and the carbon footprint.
The solar control film is a thin laminate or film installed on window glass to reduce heat transfer, by reflecting back the visible light, as well as infrared and ultraviolet rays entering through the window. They work on the principles of radiation and convection, to reduce heat flow. These films are generally metalized or dyed and have the ability to reject back the inbound solar radiation through the window glass to the exterior environment. These materials can reduce energy transmission by as much as 80% when compared to regular window films, thereby offering effective solutions for controlling the temperature during the summer.
