Global Solar Control Window Films Market Trends, Forecast Report 2025-2037
Solar Control Window Films Market size is poised to expand from USD 2.5 billion to USD 11.1 billion, reflecting a CAGR of more than 12.1% during the forecast timeline, from 2025 to 2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of solar control window films is estimated at USD 2.74 billion.
The market growth is propelled by urge to control infrared light entering through windows. Infrared light is not visible to the human eye however; it could be only felt in the form of heat. Additionally, it is accountable to cause solar heat gain through windows. So, the installment of solar control window films is anticipated to rise. Solar control window films are known for refusing about 96% of infrared light from the sun.
Moreover, solar control window films also reduces the use of air conditioners as these films maintain the room temperature indoors. Hence, the amount that needs to be paid each month for the commercial utility power bills could be significantly decreased. Hence, in order to save energy, there is demand for solar control window films.
Solar Control Window Films Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Growing Construction Activities With the growing construction activities, the demand for solar control windows is also anticipated to boost. The large number of buildings which is estimated to be constructed in the forecasted period is anticipated to make use of solar control window films. This is since, they radiate solar heat but along with this it also gives an aesthetic view to the building.
- Rise in Effects adverse of UV Rays According to the World Health Organization, there were about 15 million cataract-related blindness cases globally, 10% of which may be linked to UV radiation exposure. Moreover, it also has an adverse effect on the furniture in the house since they make them fade.

- Aid in Preventing Break-Ins Along with filtering dangerous UV rays, there are films that are estimated to act as a security feature for your home. These films are more durable and could shield the valuables from theft and vandalism owing to a heavy-duty polyester compound.
Challenges
- Availability of Alternatives - On the global solar control window films market, the availability of substitutes including solar control glasses is projected to have an adverse impact. To reflect and radiate a significant percentage of the heat from the sun, different types of solar control glasses are produced. Additionally, some glasses let in solar light while blocking solar heat. Also, glare could be controlled with the use of solar control glasses. Due to this, solar control glasses are set to be used instead of solar control window films.
- Lack of Awareness Among People
- High Price of Solar Control Window Films
