Market Overview of Global Windshield PVB Recycling market:
According to our latest research, the global Windshield PVB Recycling market looks promising in the next 5 years. As of 2022, the global Windshield PVB Recycling market was estimated at USD 27.87 million, and it's anticipated to reach USD 51.51 million in 2028, with a CAGR of 10.78% during the forecast years.
Windshields typically consist of a layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) sandwiched between two sheets of glass. PVB works by removing air and utilizing heat to bond the windshield together while enhancing clarity. PVB can be separated from end-of-life windshields and used as a sustainable polymer. PVB is mainly used in the manufacture of items such as paints, textile or leather coatings, paper barrier coatings and anti-corrosion primers. Windshield PVB Recycling helps realize circular economy and reduce environmental pollution.
Business production costs increase
With the gradual control of the epidemic, some factories began to resume work. However, enterprises need to protect the life and health of employees during the production process, such as purchasing masks, disinfectant and other anti-epidemic materials, disinfecting the working environment before and after production, and checking the temperature of employees every day to ensure the health of employees. These measures will increase production costs and affect the development of enterprises.
Positive Influence
In order to get rid of COVID-19 as soon as possible, various industries are prioritizing the production, packaging, distribution and administration of vaccines. As pharmaceutical glass bottles play an important role in the production and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, the market demand for glass containers has increased substantially, creating new growth opportunities for the glass recycling industry. Additionally, as COVID-19 hit the economy, people became more aware of the economics of resource recycling, and consumers increased their options for recycling household items. The government is investing in new sorting and separation technologies to improve the quality of recycled products, making them more environmentally friendly and economical. For example, the EPA is encouraging all Americans to recycle materials from home and dispose of personal protective equipment properly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recycling not only benefits the planet by reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfills and saves energy, it also supports American manufacturing. These factors are all favorable to the development of Windshield PVB Recycling industry.
lack of professionals
The Windshield PVB Recycling industry has the characteristics of strong technical specialization, high production process requirements and many product segmentation functions. This requires high talent reserves for enterprises, covering all aspects of R&D, design, production and management. Enterprises need to establish a stable and comprehensive R&D team to ensure the advancement and continuity of R&D and manufacturing levels. The high standards and complexity of the production process also require enterprises to have mature and sophisticated production management capabilities, and skilled workers with rich practical experience in equipment debugging, production operations and quality testing to ensure product production efficiency and stable quality. At the same time, enterprises also need professionals with rich experience in marketing and customer service in order to accurately grasp market dynamics and customer needs and help enterprises expand their markets. Therefore, it is difficult for new entrants to establish a fully qualified professional talent team in a short period of time, which is not conducive to the development and growth of the Windshield PVB Recycling industry.
Glass Prices Rise
Energy costs play a part in glass production costs. The high cost of gas and electricity has hit glassmakers hard as gas prices have soared across Europe as a result of the Russo-Ukraine war. The automotive industry, the electronics industry and the construction industry have an increasing demand for glass. Spending on glass events will grow 10% year-over-year in 2022, according to glass industry information provider Key Media & Research. Commercial glass spending was up 13.5% year-over-year. Growth in healthcare buildings and education buildings led to a nearly 6% increase in glazing activity. Under the market conditions of unbalanced supply and demand, multiple factors such as rising energy prices, supply chain problems, and continuous inflationary pressures have led to an upward trend in global glass prices. Large glass companies such as Guardian Glass, Viracon, Vitro, Kuraray, and Blue Star Architectural Glass Price increases and surcharges have been announced. As a result, glass recycling companies have increased investment in new technologies to use recycled glass as part of the components in the production process to better sort and recycle glass to meet market demand for glass. Therefore, rising glass prices are beneficial to the development of Windshield PVB Recycling.
