The online segment to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period

Based on distribution channel, the online segment held the highest market share in 2020, accounting for more than half of the storefront glass market, and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. The demand for storefront glasses being purchased online has been steadily growing as the convenience of online shopping has transformed the way consumers shop for products, including storefront glasses and other construction materials. Customers can browse and compare a wide range of options from the comfort of their own homes, avoiding the need to visit multiple physical stores. This helps to save time and offers a better range. In addition, the competitive pricing and discounts offered by online retailers can make purchasing storefront glass more cost-effective. Online sellers frequently have lower overhead costs and can pass these savings on to customers. Moreover, the convenience of doorstep delivery is another driving factor. Glass products can be heavy and fragile, making traditional in-store purchases less appealing when compared to the ease of having them delivered to one's doorstep. Thus, such factors are expected to drive the demand for storefront glasses being purchased online. However, the offline segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 7.7% from 2023 to 2032. The demand for storefront glasses being purchased offline, through traditional brick-and-mortar stores, is experiencing growth as some consumers prefer the tactile and hands-on experience that physical stores offer. They can see and touch the actual product, assess its quality, and measure how it might fit into their specific needs. This level of interaction can be particularly important for items like storefront glass, where aesthetics and functionality are critical. In addition, the ability to inspect the glass for imperfections and ensure it meets quality standards is another reason for the growing demand for offline purchases. Customers can personally scrutinize the glass for any flaws or damage, reducing the risk of receiving damaged goods. Thus, such factors are maintaining the demand for storefront glasses purchased via stores.

The stores segment to maintain its lead position during the forecast period.

Based on end user, the stores segment accounted for the largest share in 2020, contributing to lesser than three-fifths of the storefront glass market revenue, and is projected to maintain its lead position during the forecast period. Systems for internal post-tensioning are robust, dependable, and corrosion-proof. Internal post-tensioning methods make bridge construction safer and more enduring. Companies that provide storefront glass, such as DYWIDAG and VSL International Ltd., provide internal post-tensioning technology to build bridges, propelling the storefront glass market globally. However, the showrooms segment is expected to portray the largest CAGR of 8.3% from 2023 to 2032. Increase in adoption of storefront glass in showrooms as it offers several benefits such as customizable storefront glass designs contribute to the overall aesthetic and branding of the showrooms. Decorative patterns, etching, and logos can create an appealing and memorable facade that aligns with the showroom's image. In addition, energy-efficient glass solutions help regulate indoor temperature, ensuring a comfortable environment for customers while reducing heating and cooling cost for the showrooms.  Hence, such an advantage propels the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Based on region, Asia-Pacific held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2020, accounting to more than half of the global Storefront glass market revenue. The major share of storefront glass market is held by China and Japan. However, other countries such as India, Singapore, and Taiwan have been recognized as important markets, owing to upsurge in construction activities in these countries. Key player initiatives in China in expanding the construction sector are expected to provide growth opportunities in this country.  Additionally, China's low labor and material costs enable manufacturers to build post-tensioning systems and their component parts for the best feasible prices. For instance, in October 2022, China State Construction Engineering Corporation (China State Construction), a state-owned company, acquired several significant infrastructure and housing development projects. The ten projects are worth a combined $4.89 billion. Hence, such projects are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. However, LAMEA is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 9.8% from 2023 to 2032. In LAMEA region, the market is being driven by factors such as the expansion of the construction sector, growth in urbanization, and technological advances. Furthermore, by 2050, the urban population is expected to increase; also, an increase in lifestyle, particularly in emerging nations, encourages the development of renovation projects. For instance, according to the International Trade Administration, in January 2021, the Brazilian government invested $14 billion through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) for infrastructure and urbanization development. Hence, such development activities need the installation of post-tensioning systems, which is anticipated to drive the growth of the market in LAMEA during the forecast period.
