Smart Glass Market Dynamics

Drivers: Surging Demand For Smart Glass-Based Products

Smart glass technology is undergoing a revolution with the introduction of products like anti-glare frame windows and electrochromic films. The unique aesthetic and technical features of smart glass are being acknowledged by end-use industries, leading to a projected rise in demand for smart glass-based products. Energy safety considerations and environmental regulations are also driving the demand for energy-efficient smart glass. One of the key advantages of smart glass is its ability to reduce sun glare, which in turn minimizes solar heat gains. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory states that electrochromic windows can cut electricity use by as much as 49% and lower lighting expenses by up to 51%. This has spurred the demand for electrochromic glasses in commercial buildings and transportation. For instance, the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner has integrated electrochromic glasses into its windows. Additionally, LG’s latest line of refrigerators includes a darkened glass panel that lights up to become see-through.

High Adoption In The Transportation Sector

The aerospace and transportation industry is expected to become a significant consumer of smart glass, thereby boosting market revenue. The introduction of SPD smart glass has opened up numerous possibilities, including its use in rearview mirrors, side-view windows, and sunroofs. These glasses help to lower the temperature inside vehicles by blocking solar heat gain. SPD automotive rear and side windows, as well as sunroofs, provide a wealth of benefits to both passengers and drivers. Their rapid-switching and infinite tuning capabilities reduce unwanted glare and light, allowing users to enjoy not only the view outside but also a glare-free view of displays and video screens. The ability to block heat enhances fuel efficiency and decreases carbon emissions from vehicles.

Restrains: High Acquisition Cost Of Smart Glass Solutions

The technology of smart glass is advancing and is predicted to experience significant economic and technological changes in the future. To boost their Return on Investments (ROI), smart glass producers are employing price-skimming strategies. The market growth may be impeded by the use of alternative solutions offered by traditional competitors, which cost a third of what smart glass does. Additionally, the market growth could be further constrained by other options like chemical coatings and glazing that serve as alternatives to smart glass products. The transportation industry is projected to be a significant contributor to the smart glass market, due to the increasing preference of luxury car manufacturers for smart glass solutions. It is anticipated that smart glass will be used in side-view mirrors, rearview mirrors, car doors, and sunroofs. However, the growth of the automotive sector may be somewhat hindered by less expensive alternatives like tinted glass and glazing solutions, which offer sufficient privacy benefits. Deploying smart glass on a large scale necessitates substantial capital investment, with costs depending on the purpose and scale of the application. Over time, technological advancements and government regulations on smart glass deployment may help to decrease the overall production cost.
