  Growing technological progress is driving the market growth

  
  

Market CAGR for dichroic glass is being driven by the rising technological progress. Dichroic glass is a type of glass that changes color based on the amount of light present. As an example of thin-film optics, one dichroic material is a contemporary composite non-translucent glass made by stacking layers of metal oxides, which gives the glass shifting colors depending on the angle of view thus allowing an array of colors to be exhibited.

Additionally, growth in the dichroic glass production industry is attributed to technological advancements. More complex and intricate designs in Dichroic Glass, for example, may now be produced thanks to improved deposition techniques. Because of this, Dichroic Glass may now be used for a greater range of projects, such as jewelry and interior design. New techniques like sputtering and atomic layer deposition (ALD) are being used to manufacture Dichroic Glass with increasingly intricate and precise patterns. Because of this, Dichroic Glass may now be used for a greater range of projects, such as jewelry and interior design. An expanded line of Dichroic Glass for use in automobiles was unveiled by China National Building Materials Group. Car safety and fuel efficiency are enhanced by the glass.

Dichroic glass is used in architecture because of its ability to provide a variety of visual effects, such as color change, light reflection, and the illusion of depth. Utilizing it in windows, skylights, and the façade of buildings enhances their aesthetic appeal and intrigue. Dichroic Glass may reduce glare and improve vision, which is why it is widely utilized in automobile applications. To improve safety and driving comfort, it is used in instrument panels, headlights, and taillights. Additionally, Dichroic Glass is used in consumer electronics applications like computers, tablets, and smartphones because of its ability to provide a variety of visual effects like shifting colors and reflecting light. It also improves the visual quality of images on TVs and other display devices.

For instance, the demand for optical glass in the electronics and semiconductor industries was spurred by the world's $2 trillion electronics equipment manufacturing in 2014, according to the National Institution for Transforming India (NITI) Aayog, Government of India. But raw material price volatility prevents the market from expanding. Thus, result in driving the Dichroic Glass market revenue.
