Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
Active smart technologies include polymer dispersed liquid crystal, electrochromic, and suspended particle device, among others. Active smart type is controlled by the user through an electrical stimulus, whereas passive switchable glass responds to stimuli such as light, heat, or color.
Some passive smart technologies include thermochromic and photochromic. Thermochromic windows are controlled by outdoor air temperature, being tinted in summers, and transparent during winters. Photochromatic windows respond to light to darken or lighten the product.
Rising industrialization, growing urbanization, and increasing demand from the automotive sector drive the market growth for the product. Increasing application in sunroofs, rise in demand for passenger vehicles, and growing modernization of vehicles accelerates the market growth for smart glass.
Modernization of vehicles to improve performance and efficiency coupled with stringent vehicular regulations and rising environmental concerns have fueled the market growth for smart glass across the globe. Integration of the product in vehicles offers benefits such as glare control, reduced heat entering the vehicle, decreased noise, enhanced UV protection, reduced fuel consumption, and increased vehicle efficiency.
The growing shift towards sustainable buildings owing to the greater need for energy savings, stringent carbon goals, and increasing aging of existing buildings has fueled the market growth for smart glass. The integration of the product in buildings offers enhanced privacy, light control, and heat management. It is also capable of providing superior air quality, and flexible use of space.
It enables the entry of natural light in open floor plans while offering instant privacy. The product can be controlled through smartphones and is often integrated with automation systems for the execution of smart or connected buildings. Increasing disposable income, changing lifestyles, and the increasing trend of design-centric spaces has increased the adoption of the product in the architecture and construction sector.
