Fire-resistant glass is a critical safety material in modern building envelopes, used in doors, facades, partitions, and glazing systems to maintain integrity and insulation during a fire. The global fire-resistant glass market was valued at roughly USD 5.7–10.4 billion in 2024, depending on definition and scope, and is projected to reach around USD 10.9–20.6 billion by 2032, implying robust mid-single- to high-single-digit annual growth. Growth is driven by urbanization, more stringent fire-safety regulations, and the proliferation of high-rise commercial and residential projects, especially in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. Price trends reflect the complex manufacturing processes and the premium over standard float glass. Historically, fire-resistant glazing has commanded significant premiums per square meter. From 2019–2022, energy costs, soda-ash price increases, and supply chain disruptions pushed overall glass prices higher, with fire-resistant grades seeing amplified effects due to their multi-step processing.
