Market Overview:
The global polymer disperse liquid crystal glass market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for polymer disperse liquid crystal glass in various applications such as automobiles, aerospace, architectural and electronics. Polymer disperse liquid crystal glass offers various benefits such as high optical clarity, low haze values and good thermal stability which are fueling its demand in the global market. North America is expected to hold the largest share of the global polymer disperse liquid crystal glass market during the forecast period followed by Europe and Asia Pacific. The key players operating in this market include Asahi Glass Co., Ltd., Nippon Sheet Glass Co., Ltd., Guardian Industries Corp., Saint-Gobain S.A.
Product Definition:
A polymer dispersed liquid crystal glass is a type of smart glass that can be controlled to change from clear to opaque. This type of glass is used in windows and other applications where transparency or opacity is desired.
TIPS:
TIPS is a polymer dispersion liquid crystal glass, which has the property of changing its optical properties by temperature change. It can be used as an alternative to PDLC glasses in some applications such as in front light modulator and display devices. TIPS was developed at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) by Dr. Rettenmaier and his colleagues from Switzerland, Germany, France and Italy in 1996-97.
SIPS:
SIPS is short for Surface-Initiated Polymer Dispersions. It is a surface active agent that helps in stabilizing the polymer dispersion and enhances its compatibility with liquid crystal media.
It can be used as an alternative to conventional surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulphate or TWEEN 20%/20%. The use of SIPS reduces the overall consumption of surfactant which thereby reduces environmental impact and cost involved in their production.
Application Insights:
The demand for the product in automobile windows was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2016 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% from 2017 to 2030 owing to its superior properties including low weight, high strength, thermal resistance and chemical inertness. It can be used as an alternative for conventional windshields on account of its superior impact strength and safety features such as laminated glass that prevent the shards from flying after an accident has taken place. The use of PDLC glass in aerospace window applications offers benefits such as lightweight, low maintenance cost, corrosion resistance along with excellent optical clarity that enhances passenger comfort & viewing experience during flight journeys.
The architectural segment accounted for over 25% market share by volume in 2016 on account of its rising application scope including building facades (cornering planes), glazing (transparent or opaque), solar control films & roofs & walls etc.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is home to several emerging economies, such as China, India, and Japan. Rapid industrialization coupled with increasing per capita disposable income has resulted in a growing demand for consumer electronics products across these countries. This trend is projected to continue over the coming years which will have a positive impact on industry growth.
Europe polymer dispersed liquid crystal glass market was valued at USD X million in 2017 owing to high demand from automotive sector especially Germany and UK coupled with architectural applications from France and Italy due to their well-established tourism industry that requires window tints for vehicles or buildings are likely drive regional product demand over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for LCD and OLED displays in consumer electronics and automobiles
- Rising demand from the architectural and construction industry for interior decoration applications
- Growing use of PDLC glass in smart windows, which can be used to control light transmission and save energy
- Increasing adoption of PDLC glass as a privacy screen in corporate offices, hospitals, banks, etc.
- Technological advancements that are making PDLC glass more affordable and easier to install
