Major Smart Glass Market Drivers

Smart Glass Market is primarily driven by energy saving features of smart glasses, government support for the construction of energy efficient buildings and growing investments in infrastructure projects around the world. Over the years, demand for energy has increased exponentially worldwide due to increasing industrialization activities and rising urbanization. Despite Covid-19 outbreak, spike in energy prices and increasing concerns related to energy security, demand for energy is set to increase in the future. Improvements in the energy efficiency of buildings, businesses, and industries, becomes crucial to balance energy demand and supply. Buildings have emerged to be one of the largest energy consumption sources in many countries. As per the data released by Eurostat, in 2019, buildings comprised 40% of European Union’s (EU) energy consumption. Approximately 50% energy consumption in EU is used for heating and cooling and more than 75% comes from buildings. As heating and cooling equipment increase expenses in industries because it consumes huge amounts of energy, adoption of smart glasses by companies is expected to increase in the future.

Smart glasses are considered more beneficial when used in green architectures, because it allows users determine the amount of light they want inside the space. As governments worldwide are targeting to cut carbon emission levels, they are promoting the construction of green buildings and environment friendly structures, which will create lucrative opportunities for Smart Glass Market. For instance, Canadian Government announced in April 2021, that it will allocate around USD 1.5 billion towards green building initiatives. Green building initiatives includes repairing and upgrading existing community building and constructing new, publicly accessible buildings in the country. Such initiatives will increase the adoption of smart glasses owing to its energy saving features and acoustic insulation. Further, installation of smart glasses in windows and doors can help in controlling indoor temperature and minimize building’s overall carbon footprint.

Consumers are preferring glass windows over cement walls and bricks, which will push the demand for smart glasses in forthcoming years. Moreover, smart glasses are gaining traction in various end-use industries due to its distinctive aesthetics. In the automotive industry, smart glasses are increasingly used in sunroofs, windshields and rear and side view mirrors. While in the Building and construction sector, smart glasses are widely used in partitions, doors, and windows. However, smart glasses are expensive as compared to conventional glasses coupled with problem related to its recyclability, are some of the factors restricting the Smart Glasses Market growth.
