Size is our estimate of each brand's place in the window film market, largest first: Global leader, Major, Regional, Niche. Makers rarely publish window film sales, so it's based on parent company reports and industry market studies, which put Eastman (LLumar, SunTek), 3M and Saint-Gobain (Solar Gard) at the top (IMARC, Fortune Business Insights). One figure is published: XPEL's window film line was 19.9% of its 2025 revenue, about $95 million (XPEL 2025 annual report). TintCenter is our own store brand.
