Global Smart Glass and Smart Windows Markets, 2015-2020 & 2021-2031

Dublin, June 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Smart Glass and Smart Windows 2021-2031" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The smart glass and windows market is growing fast and has been installed in the commercial aircraft, automobiles and corporate buildings of companies such as Google, Disney, Merck, eBay, Microsoft, Progressive, IBM, Fox News etc.

Market growth is driven by energy efficiency, regulations, health and comfort and smart buildings. The Global Market for Smart Glass and Smart Windows 2021-2031 provides comprehensive analysis the latest innovations and products in Smart Glass and Windows, developed by large companies and start-ups.

Producers have raised over $1 billion in funding over the last few years and the technology is gaining wider commercial traction, driven by demands for privacy, adaptability, information, improved safety, energy savings and living comfort. Despite a rise in market adoption, cost and scalability still remain general challenges for the smart glass industry

Advances in materials science and technology are leading to better buildings and transportation with improved energy efficiency and indoor conditions.

A main focus is on improving windows and glass facades for enhanced comfort, privacy and sustainability. Current practices often lead to huge energy expenditures related to excessive inflow or outflow of energy which need to be balanced by energy-intensive cooling or heating.

With a potential trillion-dollar global addressable market, smart/switchable/dynamic glass or smart windows are increasingly utilized for thermal management, energy efficiency, and privacy applications that by modulating light transmittance when voltage, light, or heat is applied.

These technologies allow for the state of the glass to switch from transparent to translucent, or vice versa. This transition can occur passively or actively depending upon the device technology.

Commercial buildings are the main current market for smart glass, but it is also being increasingly adopted in residential.
