Rising demand for energy-efficient and sustainable vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the automotive smart windows market going forward. Energy-efficient and sustainable vehicles refer to electric, hybrid, and other low-emission automobiles designed to reduce environmental impact and improve fuel efficiency. The demand energy-efficient and sustainable vehicles is increasing as consumers and governments emphasize cleaner transportation solutions to mitigate climate change and reduce fossil fuel dependence. Automotive smart windows contribute to vehicle sustainability by controlling light and heat transmission, enhancing energy efficiency, and reducing the need for air conditioning. For instance, in 2023, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), Paris-based intergovernmental organization reported that, electric cars accounted for around 18% of all cars sold in 2023, up from 14% in 2022. Therefore, rising demand for energy-efficient and sustainable vehicles is driving the growth of the automotive smart windows market.

Major companies operating the automotive smart windows market are focusing on developing technological advancements such as electrochromic smart windows to enhance energy efficiency, improve passenger comfort, and provide dynamic light and heat control for next-generation vehicles. Electrochromic smart windows allow users to adjust the transparency of their vehicle’s windows using applied voltage, enhancing passenger comfort, privacy, and UV protection. For instance, in June 2025, Toyota, a Japan-based automotive company, introduced the Digital Curtain feature in its Century SUV, designed to address key challenges in passenger comfort, privacy, and UV protection within vehicle interiors. The Digital Curtain uses electrochromic glass technology that enables rear passengers to adjust window transparency between clear, semi-transparent, and opaque states using a simple touch control. The glass blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays while maintaining optimal cabin aesthetics and temperature. Additionally, it integrates seamlessly with the vehicle’s interior control system, ensuring enhanced convenience, safety, and luxury for passengers.
