Prominent trends expected in the forecast period encompass technological advancements, a heightened focus on energy efficiency, increased integration with IoT and smart home systems, and an expanding application scope.

The anticipated growth of the smart glass market is closely tied to the expanding construction industry. This sector encompasses activities ranging from planning and designing to constructing and maintaining structures and infrastructure. The construction industry is experiencing growth due to factors such as population expansion, urbanization, economic development, infrastructure projects, technological advancements, and an emphasis on sustainability. Smart glass, with its potential to create more sustainable, comfortable, and technologically advanced buildings, is becoming an appealing choice for the construction industry. For instance, data from the U.S. Census Bureau reveals that total construction spending in the United States was $1.84 trillion in 2022 and increased to $1.97 trillion in 2023, marking a notable 7% rise. Consequently, the expanding construction industry is a key driver for the smart glass market.

Prominent companies within the smart glass market are strategically focusing on introducing advanced and intelligent solutions, such as smart privacy glass, to gain a competitive advantage. Smart privacy glass technology allows transparent materials such as glass to switch, as needed, from a clear to a shaded or opaque state. In a significant development in November 2023, Kolbe, a U.S.-based window and glass manufacturer, collaborated with Gauzy Ltd, an Israel-based smart glass and ADAS technologies company, to launch a smart privacy glass solution designed for single-family homes. This innovative switchable privacy glass technology incorporates premium polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films between glass panes, enabling the smart glass to transition from opaque to transparent with the application of power. Homeowners can control the privacy and shading of their windows and doors through a wall-mounted touch panel, remote control, or home automation system. This cutting-edge technology offers customizable privacy options and is available in white or gray on select Kolbe window and door products, such as VistaLuxe WD LINE direct sets, ultra series casements, awnings, swinging doors, and forgentsSeries all glastra cases.

In February 2022, Gauzy, an Israel-based smart glass manufacturing company, acquired Vision Systems for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances Gauzy's capabilities by providing a comprehensive range of solutions, including light control technologies, shading comfort management systems, and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) solutions, effectively serving diverse industries. Vision Systems, a France-based visual technology company specializing in machine vision systems used in automation, brings valuable expertise to Gauzy's portfolio.

Smart glass denotes a variety of glass capable of modifying its characteristics, such as tint, opacity, or color, in reaction to external stimuli such as heat, light, or electricity. This technology is grounded in cutting-edge advancements that incorporate sophisticated materials to fashion windows and surfaces capable of adjusting their attributes based on external conditions or user directives.

The primary categories of smart glass encompass electrochromic, suspended particle device (SPD), liquid crystal, passive, and other variants. Electrochromic smart glass, for instance, pertains to glass that alters its tint or transparency in response to an electrical voltage. These glasses are operated through manual, remote, mobile-based, voice-based, and alternative control systems across various sectors, including transportation, construction, power generation, and more.
