Market Overview:
The global smart windows materials market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for energy-efficient and environment-friendly buildings, rising awareness about the benefits of smart windows, and growing investments in research and development (R&D) activities for the development of new technologies. The global smart windows materials market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into photochromic, electrochromic, thermochromic. Photochromic smart windows are those that change color when exposed to sunlight or artificial light. Electrochromatic (EC)smart windows are those that change color when an electric current passes through them; this technology enables users to control transparency by turning EC glass from clear to opaque with just a flick of a switch.
Product Definition:
Smart windows are materials that can change their light transmission properties in response to an external stimulus, such as heat, electricity or light. This change in transmission can be used to control the amount of light passing through the window and, as a result, the level of heat gain or loss.
Photochromic:
The global photochromic, also known as reversible coloration technology is a unique feature of smart windows. It allows the window films to darken or lighten up with the change in lighting conditions. The technology has been around for more than two decades but its commercialization began with the introduction of advanced polyester-based films by Etex and PPG Industries in early 2000s.
Electrochromic:
Electrochromic is a technology that allows changing the color of windows with the change in voltage. It's major application is in smart windows which can be applied to glass, metal or plastic and can turn opaque when exposed to an electric current and transparent when no current is passed through it. The technology has been around for more than two decades but only recently has it started gaining acceptance due to its wide range of applications such as architectural, automotive & transportation, consumer electronics and others.
Application Insights:
The architecture segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The rising need for energy-efficient windows with high performance is expected to drive product demand in this application segment. Moreover, these smart materials can be integrated into various architectural designs and offer functionalities such as privacy control, lighting control, air conditioning/heating control, etc., which are highly desired by end users.
Transportation was another prominent application sector that accounted for significant market share in 2017 owing to increasing government initiatives on improving passenger safety and security along with boosting up the aesthetic appeal of vehicles across the globe. These windows are used in aircrafts as well as trains and buses; they help reduce solar heat gain through glass surfaces during summer months while offering thermal insulation during winters when required thereby contributing toward sustainable development of transportation systems over time without consuming additional energy or resources.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to witness a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to increasing adoption of smart windows in residential and commercial buildings, coupled with stringent government regulations regarding energy efficiency in buildings. Increasing penetration of smart meters across the region is further expected to drive demand for these materials over the forecast period.
Europe accounted for a significant share of global revenue owing to rising product adoption across various end-use industries, such as transportation and architecture, especially in countries such as Germany and France that are highly developed compared to other European countries. Rising awareness regarding benefits associated with these materials is also one major factor responsible for driving their demand across this region since 2015 when they were first introduced by E&K window coating company (now known as Schott AG).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for energy-efficient and eco-friendly products
- Rising awareness about the benefits of using smart windows materials
- Growing construction and renovation activities worldwide
- Proliferation of new technologies that can be used in smart windows materials
- Rising demand from automotive sector
