Smart Glass Market: By Technology, By Application, and Region

Smart Glass Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Technology (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal Glass, Suspended Particle Device Glass, Electrochromic Glass, Photochromic Glass, and Thermochromic Glass), By Application (Architectural, Automotive & Transportation, Consumer Electronics, Power Generation, and Others), and Region

Smart glass market size was valued at US$ 6,921.2 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 10.1%. Smart glass is a type of glazing technology that can adjust its light transmission properties in response to changes in applied heat, voltage, and light. It is sometimes referred to as switchable glass, light control glass, or privacy glass. Glass can be made transparent, translucent, or opaque, and vice versa. It provides privacy and energy savings for both residential and commercial structures. Applications for the items are numerous and include electronics, automobiles, airplanes, building and architecture, and more.

The key factors fuelled are energy efficiency and sustainability, technological advancements, increased building automation, growing focus on aesthetics, and enhanced comfort. For instance, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. announced in December 2021 the release of smart glasses running Harmony OS, its operating system. The operating system enables simultaneous connections between two devices and smart glasses. However, high initial costs, complex installation, limited awareness, and durability concerns are the limiting factors for the market growth. Furthermore, expansion into emerging markets, integration with IoT, increased use in the automotive sector, and advances in manufacturing are opportunities that enhance market growth. In addition, key trends of the market are smart home integration, green building standards, energy harvesting capabilities, and increased use in commercial spaces.

Key Developments

  • In June 2021, the innovative self-tinting smart glass solution, Viracon PLUS Smart Glass powered by Halio, was unveiled by Viracon, a single-source architectural glass fabricator. It integrates Halio, Inc.'s exclusive electrochromic technology with Viracon's insulated glass units. Viracon PLUS Smart Glass powered by Halio automatically adjusts tint levels to minimize energy use and increase natural light, maximizing occupant comfort.
  • In June 2021, one of the leading companies in smart building platforms and smart windows, View, Inc., announced that it had acquired IoTium, a company that offers software-defined, secure networks that are managed by the cloud. Building owners can quickly achieve enterprise-grade safety, save operating expenses, and have real-time access over their entire real estate portfolios using IoTium's simple-to-deploy solutions.

Smart Glass Market Dynamics

Growing environmental consciousness and the need for affordable energy solutions are driving the market for smart glasses. Smart glass is essential in lowering the need for artificial lighting, heating, and cooling systems because it can dynamically change its transparency to regulate heat and light. Over time, this capability contributes to significant cost savings in addition to reducing energy use. The use of smart glass technology is growing as energy-performance-related building norms and requirements become more severe and as individuals and companies look to lower their carbon footprints.

Innovations in smart glass technology, which increase its price and efficiency make it a desirable alternative for both new construction and building retrofitting, further reinforcing this trend. As a result, it is anticipated that demand for energy-efficient smart glasses will increase in line with worldwide trends toward more environmentally friendly and sustainable building methods.
