Smart glass, also known as switchable glass or
electrochromic glass, is a novel technology that enables variable light
transmission in windows and skylights, thereby reducing energy consumption in
buildings. Smart glass products offer advantages like enhancing user comfort
through automatic control of heat and light transmission according to
surrounding environment and also minimizes cooling, heating and lighting costs.
Smart glass technology is garnering attention across industries for its ability
to create sustainable and energy efficient solutions. The global Smart Glass
Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 6.44 Bn in 2024 and is expected to
exhibit a CAGR of 9.0% over the
forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent
Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends driving the growth of the smart glass market is the
increasing integration of smart features in glass panels. Earlier smart glass
technology only had the ability to change its light transmission property.
However, recent advancements allow integration of advanced connectivity,
sensors and networking capabilities in glass panels. This enables applications
beyond daylighting control including smart home automation, indoor navigation,
smart surveillance and more. The combination of intelligently controlled optics
with communication and computing functions opens up new application
opportunities for smart glass across various industries. Innovation in
integration of technologies is expanding use cases and propelling higher demand
of smart glass products.
