What's the Hottest trend in the Glass Industry?


The up-and-coming trend in the glass industry is nothing more than a beautiful art piece digitally printed on glass. Digitally printed glass is the next big thing to arise in the industry, and it's no joke! Beautiful art pieces now adorn any room is a staple piece of its own. However, innovative glass can now make onlookers admire the world of glass from a new perspective.


The durability, clarity, and uniqueness of glass have been a part of this world in different ways. From window panes to stained glass masterpieces, it will always be evolving, such as Smart Glass. Digitally Printed Glass is one of the hottest trends in 2025 for the vast customization that it brings to the industry. This is not just the hottest trend in the glass industry, but also for designers, artists, and architects. The stress-free display of art or logos in high-traffic areas, as it is no longer a decal, can make it desirable. No more worries about touch-ups or peeled decals!




How is Digitally Printed Glass art?


Digitally printed glass innovation can create high-resolution murals, art designs, or logos on any size glass. Glass art dates back to 2500-1500 BCE with beads and small vessels formed from decorative glass. Today, digitally printed glass has a new place in the art world.


World-renowned artists such as Brian Clarke have used digitally printed glass in their own artwork to push the limits of the art and glass world. This process can create new meaning for glass. Artists from all around the world have been incorporating digitally printed glass as a new source for their art. Brian Clarke used his original paintings and digitally printed them in ceramic glaze, then kiln-fired them into the glass. Digitally printed glass has now become a medium for glass artists and artists alike.

Why is it Popular?


Digitally Printed Glass is popular due to the high demand for customization, durability, and visual impact. This also meets the demand for architectural and design needs. Unlimited design possibilities are the #1 reason why digitally printed glass became popular. The endless possibilities of printing any image, pattern, or gradient are ideal for branding, art, privacy, and even shading.


High durability of the art, design, logo, or pattern is a great selling point for most. This allows for a long-lasting design as this technique uses ceramic ink that is fired into the glass. This makes the art, design, logo, or pattern UV-resistant, fade-resistant and even weatherproof. The printed glass will not fade or peel like vinyl or surface decals.


Digitally Printed Glass offers solar shading, reducing heat and glare in buildings. The possibilities of print can be designed to be bird-safe or privacy-enhancing. This is often used in green buildings to contribute to LEED or energy efficiency.


The visual impact makes glass more than just a surface! Digitally Printed Glass is used in facades, partitions, storefronts, shower enclosures, signage, and art walls. Architects love the balance between aesthetics and performance.
