Sun Control Films Market By Type (Clear (Non-reflective), Dyed (Non-reflective), Vacuum Coated (Reflective)), By Application (Construction, Automotive, Decorative, Others), By Absorber Type (Organic, Inorganic, Metallic) - Growth, Share, Opportunities & Competitive Analysis, 2019 - 2027

Increase use of sun control films in automotive will spur the market revenue growth.

The global sun control films market accounted for US$ 845.6 Mn in 2018 and is anticipated to grow to US$ 1,879.7 Mn at a CAGR of 10.5% throughout the forecast period from 2019 to 2027.

Increasing environmental concerns about reducing carbon footprint and the booming construction sector, especially in the Asia Pacific region, are some of the factors propelling the sun control film market growth. A combination of benefits offered by sun control films, including blocking more than 95% of ultraviolet rays, saving energy, less heat & more light, and aesthetic appeal, among others, are proliferating the demand for the sun control films market. Increasing adoption of sun control films due to the booming real estate sector in countries such as China, India, Indonesia, and Singapore, among others. In 2018, total construction spending in China amounted to US$ 1.78 trillion. Moreover, the rising automotive sector and increasing usage of sun control films in windows of automotive further enhance the market growth of sun control films.

Additionally, applying sun control films in residential spaces and automotive to reduce heat transfer from outside and keep the interior cool helps increase fuel efficiency and energy savings from air conditioners and refrigerators. Furthermore, various governments' stringent regulatory norms and initiatives to reduce energy consumption are factors fueling market demand. In addition, the properties of the sun control films, such as privacy, scratch resistance, safety, and cost-effectiveness, further propel the market growth. However, the rising threat of substitutes such as smart glass and issues related to warranty and installation of the films are expected to hamper the market growth.

Market Synopsis

Type Analysis

Clear (Non-reflective) segment to dominate the market during the forecast period.

The sun control film market is classified into clear, dyed, and vacuum coated based on type. The clear (non-reflective) segment holds the largest market share in the global sun control films market and accounts for a revenue share of approximately 40% of the global market. This can be associated with its ability to reduce the passage of ambient light when coated on both sides. As a result, these films find applications in automotive windows, residential windows, and doors, among others.

In contrast, the vacuum-coated sun control films segment is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. These films use techniques such as vapor deposition, e-beam, and sputtering. The benefits offered by vacuum coating include the following:

• Higher solar heat control.
• A quick curing process.
• Quicker dry-out times.
• Reduced period of film haziness.

Application Analysis

Construction segment expected to dominate the market during the forecast period.

On the basis of application, the global sun control films market is further classified into construction, automotive, decorative, and others (marine, graphic, etc.). The construction segment holds the largest market share and accounts for a revenue share of approximately 40% globally. This can be associated with the benefits offered by sun control films, such as enhanced aesthetic appeal, increased indoor lighting, and reduced heat inside, among others which are positively influencing the market demand for sun control films market.

In contrast, the automotive segment is anticipated to expand with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This can be associated with the increasing application of sun control films in vehicles as it reduces the load of the vehicle's air conditioner, maintains the temperature inside, and reduces U.V. rays exposure.

Regional Analysis

Rising infrastructural development to bolster the growth in the Asia Pacific region.

In 2018, North America dominated the global sun control films market with a revenue share of approximately 35%. The U.S. alone accounted for the major share of revenue, contributing nearly 80% of the revenue in the North American region. This can be associated with increasing concerns about saving energy and increasing health awareness for protection against U.V. rays. Thus proliferating the sun control film market demand in the region.

In contrast, the Asia Pacific region continues to expand at a rapid pace in the global sun control films market. This can be associated with rapidly increasing infrastructural development in the region, growing emphasis on reducing carbon footprint, and rising concerns regarding U.V. protection are factors propelling the sun control films market growth in the region.
