GCC Construction Glass Market

Construction glass is a type of glass material used as a translucent glazing material for the construction of buildings and other architectural designing. The construction glass provides dimensional stability, resistance against uncertain weather conditions such as rain, sun, and wind and withstands for the ultra-violet, infrared, and x-ray transmission. Construction glass is resistant to chemicals like ammonia and sulfuric acid and supports clear optical transparency. The construction glass is an excellent electrical insulator and has a lower thermal expansion value.

The major factors which are propelling the growth of the global agriculture drones market are the rising upcoming megaprojects in the construction & building industry and inclination of the government regulations for smart city construction. The Saudi American Glass (SAG) has signed new projects valued over SAR20 million in Saudi Arabia. SAG started Bayat Plaza in Jeddah, Riyadh Park Mall in Riyadh, Rashid Mall in Abha, Movenpick Hotel in Riyadh, Spimaco HQ building in Riyadh, and Marriott Hotel in Riyadh. Moreover, Smart Dubai 2021 is a key strategy for the transformation of the city into safe, secure, digitally-savvy, and resource & infrastructure resilience at the end-users.

The increasing awareness regarding energy conservation and growing emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas emissions is further boosting the demand for the GCC construction glass market over the forecast period. For instance, The Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) had initiated the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi to monitor and access the air quality and level of emissions from the varied sources of the construction and automotive. The increasing technological advancements in the construction projects for energy conservation and the adoption of the construction glass for reducing heat inside the building will further drive the demand of the GCC construction glass market during the forecast period. However, the high pricing of the raw materials and economic slow-down are certain factors that are hampering the growth of the GCC construction glass market over the forecast period.
