Global Smart Glass Market by Type (Active, Passive), Control Mode (Dimmers, Remote Control, Switches), Application - Forecast 2023-2030

The Smart Glass Market size was estimated at USD 9.37 billion in 2022, USD 10.18 billion in 2023, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.18% to reach USD 18.93 billion by 2030.

Smart glass is a material that alters light transmission rates to change and modify transparency and functionality. Smart glass technology plays a pivotal role in balancing the conflicting demands of both functional and architectural considerations. It effectively balances the advantages of natural light, scenic views, and spacious open floor designs while addressing the imperatives of energy efficiency and privacy. These glasses offer adjustable tints, act as displays, ensure heat and noise blocking, and aid in generating solar power. In recent years, the use of smart glass in the automobile industry and as an interactive touchscreen or display is growing. Moreover, the demand for smart glass proliferates due to public and private sector investments and interests in sustainable building construction. On the other hand, the cost-intensiveness of production and design and performance-related technical concerns with smart glass impede their widespread adoption. However, the continuous research and innovations in smart glass technology, coupled with their utilization for solar power generation, are expected to boost their usage considerably in the coming years.
