At 13.2% CAGR, South & Central America BIPV Glass Market is Projected to be Worth US$ 316.55 Million by 2031, says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the South & Central America BIPV glass market was valued at US$ 117.40 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 316.55 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 13.2% from 2023 to 2031. Increasing demand for green buildings and rising popularity of solar energy are among the critical factors attributed to drive the South & Central America BIPV glass market growth.

The emphasis on sustainability and environmental consciousness is on the rise across the world. As a result, there is a growing preference for green buildings that are energy-efficient, resource-efficient, and environmentally friendly. These green structures rely on construction materials that meet specific sustainability and performance standards, which propels a need for innovative solutions in the construction industry. According to environmental studies experts, nearly 40% of the greenhouse gases and wastes come from the construction industry. The building & construction industry is resource-intensive and consumes vast amount of energy. According to data published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2022 energy demand in buildings increased by nearly 1% compared to 2021. Electricity consumption accounted for about 35% of energy use in buildings in 2022, up from 30% in 2010. There has been an increase in the demand for electric energy in residential and commercial buildings. Green buildings will reduce the consumption of conventional energy, causing a negligible impact on the natural environment of the project site. BIPV glass is an efficient solution to sustainability concerns, especially in commercial projects such as malls, institutions, manufacturing units, train stations, and airports where huge operating cost and energy utility is involved. BIPV glass generates clean energy for plants, factories, and office premises and enhances the aesthetics of the building by using it as a construction material. Major players operating in the construction industry pay high attention to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) ratings, green points, and sustainable buildings. BIPV glass boasts environmental performance and efficiency ratings in line with nearly zero-energy building (NZEB) standards, which means it helps meet various green building certifications such as Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). Therefore, the rising demand for green buildings is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the BIPV glass market during the forecast period.

On the contrary, high initial investment cost and less energy efficiency for BIPV system hampers the growth of South & Central America BIPV glass market.
