Smart Glass Market Analysis

The Global Smart Glass Market size is estimated at USD 11.16 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 18.47 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 10.6% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The market has been gaining significant traction due to the surging demand for energy cost savings in high-end commercial offices and residential spaces. With a growing focus on sustainable development, many people have been opting for user-controlled windows in buildings. Smart glass manufacturers have been actively investing in research and development to cut production costs by implementing newer technologies and low-cost raw materials.

  • Smart glass has applications in many end-user verticals, owing to its unique properties. However, only the applications encountered in the construction sector and transportation industries stand to be a high source of demand for smart glass in the current market scenario. The increasing regulatory reforms, such as the National Green Building Standard, Green Globes, LEEDS, etc., enable commercial building owners to spend on smart energy-saving solutions, such as smart glass.
  • In December 2021, Halio, builder of technologically advanced smart windows, exhibited an electrochromic glass solution in the "Green Avenue" section of the SK CES 2022 booth located in the Las Vegas Convention Center, Central Hall. The glass solution addressed the ten must-haves for architects, developers, and environmentalists as they formulate strategies to achieve net zero buildings. The advanced smart glass is the first to address critical design and performance issues, including clear and tint color, responsiveness and speed, tint uniformity, and cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) for autonomous operation. Halio's AI determines the maximum amount of daylight that can enter the building in real-time to deliver energy savings that reduce carbon emissions by up to 20%, aiding in staving off global warming while minimizing glare management that leads to occupant wellness.
  • Boing and Airbus, aerospace application companies, have been deploying smart glass technology by integrating IoT systems. For instance, Boeing 787 Dreamliner airplane features electrochromic windows, which turn entirely opaque with a button's click. This trend has been obtaining popularity among all the luxury and private jet manufacturers globally, opening new market opportunities.
  • Besides aerospace, smart glass is increasingly being adopted in ships and trains. For instance, recently, Vision Systems exhibited a wide variety of SPD-SmartGlass products designed for the cruise industry to improve the cruise ship passenger experience.
  • Moreover, several key federal policy directives, rising energy costs, and stringent regulations concerning greenhouse gas emissions are significant factors driving energy-efficient measures. Therefore, the countries have been increasingly optimizing the use of renewable energy sources.
  • However, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruptions in the smart glass market. The market studied was highly affected due to decreased construction activities and supply chain disruptions. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the construction activities of residential and commercial buildings in 2020 and has resulted in building construction projects being delayed or halted in the short term. The demand for construction projects has fallen owing to poor business sentiments, lower operating surpluses and incomes, diversion of funds for COVID-19 management, and liquidity problems.
  • According to the European construction forecasting body Euroconstruct, the European construction market is expected to shrink by 7.8% this year and will not recover fully until 2023, with forecast growth of 4.1% in 2021, 3.4% in 2022, and 2.4% in 2023. With such a decline in construction activities, the demand for smart glass is anticipated to decrease.
