April 16, 2025 - With the dual drive of safety performance and energy conservation and environmental protection in the global construction and automotive industries, the demand for glass safety film in the European and American markets has exploded. According to QYR (Hengzhou Bozhi), the global glass safety film market size will reach US$5.47 billion in 2025, of which Europe and the United States account for more than 50%, and the import volume has surged by 400% in the past three years, becoming the core engine of industry growth.
Three core driving forces for the surge in demand
Upgrade of building safety standards
Many governments in Europe and the United States have enforced building energy conservation and safety regulations to promote the demand for heat-insulating and explosion-proof functional safety films. For example, the EU's "Building Energy Efficiency Directive" requires that new buildings must meet low energy consumption standards, prompting markets such as Germany and France to increase the purchase of Low-E (low-radiation) safety films by more than 30% annually.
Upgrade of safety configuration in the automotive industry
In order to improve vehicle safety ratings, automakers have included safety films as standard in high-end models. Taking the US market as an example, the scale of imported automotive glass safety film in 2023 will reach 5.47 million vehicles (calculated based on an average of 1 roll per vehicle), of which Tesla, BMW and other brands account for more than 60% of the purchase of bulletproof and heat-insulating films.
Frequent natural disasters and security incidents
In recent years, earthquakes, hurricanes and other disasters have occurred frequently, prompting consumers to actively install safety films. Data shows that after the 2024 US hurricane season, the installation volume of home safety films in Florida increased by 200% month-on-month, driving the regional market to an annual compound growth rate of 12%.
According to industry analysis agencies, the annual compound growth rate of the European and American glass safety film market will reach 15% from 2025 to 2028
