The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including increasing regulatory initiatives promoting energy efficiency in buildings, growing awareness of environmental sustainability, rising energy costs, a heightened focus on enhancing occupant comfort and satisfaction in residential, commercial, and institutional buildings, as well as an increase in urbanization and infrastructure development.

The smart windows market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.97 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing demand for smart homes and smart buildings equipped with connected devices and automation systems, a growing focus on health and well-being in building design, the rise in government incentives and regulations promoting energy efficiency and sustainability in buildings, the emergence of smart cities and sustainable urban development initiatives, and a heightened awareness of indoor air quality (IAQ). Major trends expected in the forecast period encompass advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT) and building automation technologies, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for predictive and adaptive control, the incorporation of smart windows within broader smart home ecosystems, and the development of enhanced user interfaces and control options.

The surge in demand for smart home solutions is poised to drive the growth of the smart window market in the coming years. Smart home solutions encompass a variety of technologies and systems aimed at integrating different devices and appliances within a home to elevate convenience, comfort, security, energy efficiency, and automation. This increasing demand is fueled by consumers' preferences for enhanced convenience, energy efficiency, and security within their homes. Smart windows play a pivotal role in enhancing the functionality of smart homes by regulating natural light, managing privacy levels, optimizing energy consumption, and elevating overall comfort and convenience for residents. For example, a report published by techUK in November 2022 highlighted that 77% of UK adults are projected to own at least one connected home device, representing a 10% increase from pre-pandemic levels. Moreover, the proportion of 'advanced adopters,' owning more than three connected home devices, has also witnessed growth, underscoring the expanding market for smart home solutions and, consequently, smart windows.

Key players in the smart window market are concentrating on developing automation and connected technology enhancements such as voice-activated and app-controlled windows to augment user convenience, energy efficiency, and comfort in both residential and commercial settings. Voice and app-activated windows empower users to control window operations effortlessly using voice commands or mobile applications, offering convenience, flexibility, and improved accessibility. For instance, Marvin, a US-based manufacturer of custom-made windows and doors, introduced its new Smart Window and Door Line in February 2024. This product line integrates automation and smart technology into windows, skylights, and doors, providing automated features such as voice-activated commands for opening windows and doors, rain detection sensors, obstruction avoidance sensors, and pre-programmable settings for climate control, thereby enhancing indoor living experiences.

In February 2022, Gauzy Ltd., an Israel-based nanotechnology company specializing in smart glass, completed the acquisition of Vision Systems, a France-based company renowned for its shading solutions and smart dimmable windows. Through this strategic acquisition, Gauzy aims to expand its product portfolio, extend its global footprint, and explore new applications for its light and vision control technologies across diverse end markets, thereby strengthening its position in the smart window market.
