Dublin, Feb. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “The Smart Glass Market by Type (Tinted, Coated), Technology (Electrochromic, Suspended Particle Display (SPD), Liquid Crystal, Photochromic, Nanocrystalline), Control System (Voice-Based, Building Automation System, Mobile-Based) – Global Forecast to 2030” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global smart glass market is expected to reach USD 10.42 billion in 2030 from USD 6.42 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period.
Smart glass has witnessed wide adoption in the latest luxury vehicles due to its features, such as information projection, entertainment integration, and window tinting, which can be controlled. Technology has been included in the design and development of modern luxury cars to improve privacy, entertainment, and safety. The largest automotive brands, including Mercedes-Benz, have adopted smart glass, showing a change in the design of automobiles and an extension of its use beyond luxury markets. It can tint windows, blocking up to 99% of light when necessary, which is superior to traditional sun visors and glass. This improves privacy, reduces heat transfer, saves fuel, and is environmentally friendly.
Coated segment is expected to dominate in smart glass market.
The coated segment accounts for the largest share in the smart glass market, owing to its higher performance, flexibility, and high applicability across various sectors. Advanced thin-film coatings, either metal oxides or nanoparticles, help control light transmission, reduce glare, and achieve thermal insulation. This extent of control is in high demand in construction, automotive, and aviation sectors, among others. Using coated glass improves energy efficiency and reduces HVAC cost by minimizing heat gain and loss. Also, the feature of dynamic light control enhances comfort to occupants while not diminishing natural light. Due to its robustness and adaptability to easy customizations, coated glass is ideally suited for substantial commercial and residential-scale projects.
Suspended Particle Display (SPD) segment is expected to grow fastest during the forecast period.
Suspended particle display technology is expected to grow the fastest due to several factors. Excellent control over light and heat through SPD allows dynamic shading and privacy features in real time, which makes it highly suitable for automotive, architectural, and aviation applications. It can switch from transparent to opaque with the help of a switch, thus promising significant energy savings by reducing artificial lighting and air conditioning requirements. The increase in demand of energy-efficient sustainable solutions is the major driver. Through SPD technology, solar heat gain becomes manageable in buildings and vehicles, enhancing energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Moreover, it offers support for privacy-on-demand, perfect for smart homes, offices, and vehicle applications, for which adaptability becomes a requirement.
The Asia Pacific is expected to have highest growth rate in the EMI shielding market.
Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region in the smart glass market. Rapid urbanization and industrialization, especially in countries like China, India, and Southeast Asia, have spurred significant investments in modern infrastructure, including energy-efficient buildings. Governments in the region are emphasizing sustainability, which is pushing energy-saving solutions such as smart glass for residential and commercial projects. The increasing demand for high-tech vehicles in the automotive industry is one of the main reasons smart glass is increasingly used for privacy and temperature control features. In addition, rising disposable incomes are leading to the preference for luxury cars, and hence the market for smart glass in automobiles is growing, which in turn contributing to the regional growth.
The Asia-Pacific market benefits from low-cost manufacturing and innovation in smart glass technology. It has also improved production from switching from manual to automated and electrically controlled smart glass, which can be achieved feasibly and economically. The more that smart home systems are deployed, the more support for demand in smart glass is expected since homeowners desire convenience and energy efficiency.
