Electrochromic Glass Market by Material (Polymers, Nanocrystals, Viologens), Device (Windows, Mirror, Display), Application (Commercial, Residential, Transportation, Retail, Hospitality), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2020
Technically electrochromic glass market is a combination of chromogenic material that responds to light and heat intensity and adjusts its transparency accordingly, when external voltage is applied. In the electronics industry, it is also known as dynamic glass which offers benefits such as on-demand privacy, control, and energy efficiency. When activated, the glass changes from transparent to translucent, blocking some or all wavelengths of light. Electrochromic Glass, from its early introduction in 1986, has evolved enormously and witnessed significant commercialization in the late 2000s. Since then, the technological development is expected to lead growth of electrochromic glass market in various commercial applications in the future, and also provide opportunities for electrochromic glass applications such as Internet of things, hospitals of the future, and so on. With the growing number of manufacturing plants coming up, the electrochromic glass market is expected to grow at a higher rate during the next five years and onward.
The electrochromic glass materials covered in this report are Transition Metal Oxides (TMOs), Polymers, Reflective Hydride, Nanocrystals and Violegons. The products covered in this report include electrochromic windows, mirrors, and displays among others.
The architecture segment is recognized as a major growth market for this glass. Particularly, the property of dynamic light transmission adjustment of electrochromic smart glass offers users the ease of controlling the sunlight passing through the glass (and thereby heat), using a simple switch. Thus, electrochromic glass is becoming an increasingly popular choice for windows, doors, skylights, and partitions in commercial as well as residential buildings. The transportation sector is another significant electrochromic glass market which holds potential for growth, in terms of demand, for this glass. The adoption of electrochromic windows by Boeing in 787 Dreamliner aircraft was one of the pioneering applications of electrochromic glass in the commercial aviation sector.
