The global smart glass market is expected to be valued at USD 5.8 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 9.4 billion by 2029; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.8% from 2024 to 2029. The increasing adoption of smart glass in the automotive sector serves as a significant driver for the industry, propelled by various technological advancements and consumer demands. Smart glass, when integrated into automotive applications, offers a range of functionalities that enhance both safety and user experience. One key feature is glare reduction, which improves visibility for drivers, especially during challenging weather conditions. Additionally, smart glass can dynamically adjust tint levels to regulate sunlight, preventing glare and maintaining a comfortable interior temperature. For privacy and security, smart glass can be employed in windows and rearview mirrors, offering instant opacity at the touch of a button. The integration of Heads-Up Display (HUD) technology on smart glass windshields provides essential information directly in the driver's line of sight, minimizing distractions. As the automotive industry moves towards autonomous vehicles, smart glass becomes integral in creating interactive and informative displays within the vehicle. The increasing consumer preference for advanced safety features, coupled with the desire for a more connected and technologically enhanced driving experience, drives the growing adoption of smart glass in the automotive sector, making it a crucial driver for the overall smart glass market.

“Suspended Particle Display (SPD) technology holds second-largest share in the smart glass market”

Suspended Particle Display (SPD) technology holds the second-largest share in the smart glass market owing to its unique ability to dynamically control light transmission. SPD smart glass utilizes suspended particles within a film that can be aligned or dispersed based on an electric field, allowing rapid adjustments in tint levels. This technology offers a balance between the quick responsiveness of electrochromic systems and the simplicity of implementation, contributing to its popularity. Widely used in automotive sunroofs and windows, SPD technology provides users with instant control over glare, visibility, and privacy, making it a preferred choice in applications where real-time adjustments are crucial. The continuous refinement of SPD materials and the versatility of its applications across various sectors position it as a key player in the smart glass market.

“Active mechanism to exhibit highest CAGR in smart glass market”

Active mechanisms exhibit a higher growth rate in the smart glass market due to their dynamic and responsive nature. Active smart glass systems, driven by external stimuli such as electrical voltage or heat, provide instantaneous adjustments in optical properties like tint and transparency. This real-time adaptability is particularly appealing across diverse applications, including smart windows in homes, commercial buildings, and automobiles. The demand for active mechanisms stems from their capability to offer precise control over environmental factors, enhancing user experience by reducing glare, improving privacy, and optimizing energy efficiency. The continual innovation in active smart glass technologies, leading to improved responsiveness, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, positions the active mechanism as a frontrunner in the smart glass market, driving its higher growth rate.

“Architecture end use to exhibit highest growth rate in smart glass market”

Architecture holds a higher growth rate in the smart glass market due to the increasing integration of smart glass solutions in residential and commercial buildings. The architectural sector benefits from the growing emphasis on energy-efficient and technologically advanced structures, where smart glass plays a pivotal role in optimizing natural light, regulating indoor temperatures, and enhancing overall sustainability. Smart glass applications in architecture contribute to a more comfortable and efficient living and working environment, aligning with the rising demand for smart and connected buildings. The adaptability of smart glass to various architectural designs and its ability to meet evolving consumer preferences for innovative and sustainable construction practices position it as a key driver for the observed higher CAGR in the architectural end-use segment of the smart glass market.

“North America region holds for second-highest share in smart glass market”

North America secures the second-largest share in the smart glass market due to a combination of technological innovation, robust infrastructure, and a high demand for energy-efficient solutions. The region boasts a strong emphasis on sustainability, driving the adoption of smart glass in both commercial and residential construction. The mature automotive industry in North America also contributes significantly, with smart glass applications gaining traction in vehicles for enhanced safety and comfort. The presence of key market players and ongoing investments in research and development further propel North America's growth in the smart glass market. Additionally, supportive government policies and a tech-savvy consumer base contribute to the region's substantial share, marking it as a pivotal player in the global smart glass industry.

Smart glass is also known by switchable glass, dimmable glass or dynamic glass. It is a kind of glass which changes its light transmission properties according to the provided stimulus. Based on whether, they require an electrical stimulus to respond or the level of control it offers to users; it can be categorized into Active or Passive. Electrochromic, SPD, and Liquid crystal are some of the active smart glass technologies which respond to voltage as a stimulus and adjust the light transmission property dynamically. On the other hand, Passive smart glass technologies such as Thermochromic and Photochromic react naturally to heat or light.

Smart glass technologies covered in this report are: Thermochromic, Suspended particle device (SPD), Electrochromic (EC), Liquid crystal (LC)/ Polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC), Photochromic and so on. Also technical assessment of the latest, emerging smart glass technologies- micro blinds and nanocrystals are also provided. Out of all the traditional smart glass technologies, Electrochromic is being recognized as one of the promising ones, owing to the highest dynamic control, as it allows light and heat through the glass. With its unique properties such as durability and fastest switching times, Electrochromic smart glass is expected to revolutionize the architectural application segment occupying the major chunk of market revenue by 2020.

Transportation sector is another growth market for this product. In automotive segment, smart glass is becoming a popular choice for rear view mirrors and sunroofs because of the value it brings in the form of controlling the glare, tinting and so on. Reputed automobile players such as Daimler AG (Germany) and BMW AG (Germany) have used smart glass for windows and sun-roofs, in their premium cars such as Mercedes-Benz SLK and BMW Active Tourer respectively. Also aviation players such as Boeing Company (U.S.) used smart windows in its 787 Dreamliner aircraft. In order to further analyze the integration of smart windows in Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner, a case study based on the same is included in this report.

The report covers smart glass market by its applications, technology, size and geography.
