• Currently, the market for bird-safe glass is relatively limited. As the demand will increase and the costs will decline. This is demonstrated by the large drop in solar panel prices and the cost of water saving toilets.

• Numerous organizations, including the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) and the Bird Friendly Building Certification program, have introduced certification criteria for environmentally conscious building designs with a focus on bird-friendly features.

• These certifications serve to encourage the adoption of bird-friendly glass and acknowledge buildings that prioritize environmental considerations

• The bird-friendly glass market is experiencing growth, and more glass manufacturers are offering bird-friendly products as part of their product lines.

• New innovation in manufacturing and increased competition will lead to more affordable options for consumers.

• Laser machines such as the c-vertica or the c-matrix from the German manufacturer Cericom (part of the Lisec Group) make glass processing and thus production of bird protection glass easy.

• Governments around the world are implementing regulations and incentives to promote the use of bird-friendly glass. In the United States, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has developed voluntary guidelines for bird-friendly building design. In Canada, the Toronto Green Standard requires that all new and renovated buildings use bird-friendly glass.

• The environmentalists and conversationalists are even suggesting for BFM glasses to the constructions companies, with which the skyscrapers and residential buildings can be made as because every year, more than 1 million birds die each year and this is affecting the environment as the birds are the major contributors to  ecosystem of the environment

MARKET OVERVIEW

The global bird-friendly glass market has been witnessing steady growth in recent years due to increased awareness of avian conservation and sustainable architectural practices. Bird-friendly glass, designed to reduce bird collisions, is gaining prominence as an important component of green building initiatives and urban planning.

Growing concerns over bird fatalities caused by collisions with transparent glass surfaces have prompted the demand for bird-friendly glass as a solution to protect birds.

Rapid urbanization and construction of glass-covered buildings in urban areas have led to an increase in bird collisions, driving the need for bird-friendly glass solutions.

Stringent environmental regulations and building standards in some regions are encouraging the use of bird-friendly glass to minimize the environmental impact of construction.

Contemporary architectural designs often incorporate extensive use of glass, making bird-friendly solutions a vital consideration in urban planning and construction.

INTRODUCTION TO BIRD-FRIENDLY GLASS MARKET

Bird-friendly glass is a type of glass that is designed to reduce the risk of bird collisions with windows. It can be made with a variety of patterns, coatings, and materials that make it more visible to birds.

Bird-friendly glass works by using a variety of techniques to make it more visible to birds. These techniques can include using patterns, coatings, and materials that reflect ultraviolet light (UV light), which is visible to birds but not to humans.

There are a number of different types of bird-friendly glass available. Some types of bird-friendly glass are made with a thin film coating that reflects UV light. Other types of bird-friendly glass are made with patterns or etchings that make it more visible to birds.

Bird-friendly glass can be used in a variety of applications, including windows in homes, office buildings, and commercial buildings. It can also be used in skylights, greenhouses, and other structures.

Recent data has shown that collisions with buildings kill as many as 1 billion birds a year in the United States alone.

BIRD-FRIENDLY GLASS MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

The Global Bird-friendly glass market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.

TRENDS IN BIRD-FRIENDLY GLASS MARKET

Legalization and Protection

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has responsibility to protect and conserve migratory birds as part of four international treaties (Mexico, Japan, Canada, and Russia) and the Migratory. Bird Treaty Act.

As part of this mission, the Service is working to address human-caused sources of mortality by developing and providing information on options for reducing hazards to migratory birds. 

Market Demand and Awareness

People are becoming concerned about the environment and how useful birds are for our ecosystem. It is possible, has always been possible, to design functional, sustainable and attractive buildings that can reasonably be expected to kill few or no birds.

The people nowadays are socially-aware and environmentally conscious that the  buildings with many windows, and there are screens, latticework, louvers, and other devices outside, or patterns integrated into the glass, warn birds before they collide.

Environmental Concerns

Bird protection glass has emerged from its niche existence for environmental concerns as the environmental association estimates, up to 100 million birds die each year from colliding with glass in Germany alone – be it at office buildings, bus stops or panoramic windows.

Bird protection glass has also left its niche in another respect: it is not only the industry that is aware of the various options – end consumers are now aware of them as well, and this is a positive change.

General Awareness and Moral Concerns

One possible reason is that society’s overall appreciation of nature has changed, and this is reflected in public awareness. With the increasing urgency of the discussion around climate change and the environment, the options for protective glass are receiving more attention.

In addition, different countries have adopted bird protection laws that give the problem a higher profile. Canada and the United States have implemented regulations that put increased pressure on facade manufacturers to supply suitable solutions.

BIRD-FRIENDLY GLASS MARKETNEW PRODUCT LAUNCH

Walker’s expanded bird friendly program allows glass fabricators to order exact quantities of the AviProtek and AviProtek E products, reducing procurement costs. For improved yield, sizes of 72’’ x 130’’ or 84’’ x 130’’ can be requested in addition to the standard 96’’ X 130’’ size

The company came with innovation of sandblast glasses which are translucent in nature and are non-reflective at the same time. The innovation is so good for its time that it helps to protect the lives of the birds that they can distinguish between nature and glass as well as protect the privacy of the people indoor. The sandblasting technique is used to obscure visibility through glass, but the glass continues to transmit light as it is diffused through the surface.

Saflex FlySafe 3D has interlayers, which means that architects and glass laminators can meet regulations and mitigate bird strikes without compromising on safety, security, structural integrity, aesthetics, UV screening, or acoustic control.

An innovative glass solution, developed to greatly reduce the number of bird collisions with glass. The unique patterned UV enhanced coating disrupts the reflection on the glass, so the bird can see a barrier.

The installation in an Insulating Glass Unit (IGU) enables the product to be anti- reflection for the birds to collide and be insulated for the people being inside.

The product also has been innovatively engineered so that the strides are made brightly visible to the bird’s flight wavelength so that they avoid knowing there is something, also for the people inside, to enjoy the beauty of the outside world, without getting disruption in view.
