Dynamic Glazing Market Overview

Dynamic Glazing Market is projected to be worth USD 4630 Million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032).

The products used in construction activities that can change the properties of performance automatically is known as dynamic glazing product. The windows and doors, which are dynamically glazed, change their performance automatically to respond to environmental signals or control. Dynamic glazing is used to darken the interior piece of glass electrochromic technology. The technology permits a thin coating to change from totally clear to tinted after applying a small DC voltage. The most generic example of this technology is the eyeglasses which darken once you go outside. The architectural example of dynamic glass can be maintained in four different tint levels, matching 4%, 20%, 40%, and 60% visible light transmission, respectively. A reduced carbon footprint is promoted by innovative architectural glazing solutions, which help achieve LEED certification and decrease energy costs.  

By decreasing the solar heat, that is the amount of heat that enters through the glass structure from the sun. And then, the dynamic glazing decreases the HVCA unit size, which is required and, therefore, its carbon footprint. The dynamic glass is used in an automatic building management system or a home automation system controlled from any mobile device. A low-voltage system operates these glasses, making them both easy to install and energy-efficient. The glass doesn’t consume much energy, but it only uses a tiny amount of power.  

The development of the dynamic glazing market can be considered an advantage of glass, such as decreasing energy costs because of controlled daylighting. This glass changes from transparent to translucent quickly, and the wavelengths of light get blocked. 

Covid-19 analysis

The covid-19 virus first started spreading from Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Since that day, it has spread very quickly all over the world. In case of confirmation of death and positive report, the worst affected countries are the US, India, Brazil, Russia, France, UK, Turkey, Spain, and Italy. The pandemic has impacted the dynamic glazing market and economy in various regions due to a ban on transport, shutdown of industries, lockdowns, unavailability of labor forces, and strict government regulations on imports and exports. Due to the shutdown of several industries, there was breakage in the supply chain. It also negatively impacted the manufacturing, sales of products, and delivery schedules globally. Many companies have declared delays in deliveries of products and a drop in the sales of the products in the future. However, travel was also banned to countries such as Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe as it negatively impacts business collaboration and partnership opportunities. 

Chief factors existing in the market 

Key Market Drivers 

Dynamic glazing permits dynamic control of enclosure light and heat flow, resulting in more energy savings than equivalent static solutions. Dynamic glazing enables the resident to regulate its nearby environment by tinting the window either by utilizing the flip of a switch or by lifting and lowering a shade placed between panes of glass, which operates the growth of the dynamic glazing market.

The advantage of glass is decreasing the energy cost due to controlled daylighting. The glass changes from transparent to translucent, and it also blocks the wavelengths of light. It is the main factor in the development of the dynamic glazing market. This gives an outcome such as increasing investments in the construction of commercial buildings. The dynamic glazing market aids in decreasing the use of energy and inspires a sustainable design of the building structure.  

Market Challenges 

The production of electrochromic glass-like automotive and construction manufacturers had been paused due to the unavailability of the labor force due to the covid-19 virus outbreak. Due to the pandemic, the dynamic glazing market faced many losses, such as the supply chain being disrupted. Such factors have affected the electrochromic glass products by hiking prices or supply shortages. Therefore, it hampered the growth of the dynamic glazing market globally.

Market Opportunities 

Due to the increasing adoption rate of smart glass in trains, for example, in South Korea, the monorail train has windows that automatically fog while passing by the apartments close to the train. The glazing takes place when the window’s light transmission properties are transformed with heat, light, or voltage to the surface. The growing use of this transportation field has created a huge demand for smart glass. It is expected that smart glass installation in automobiles can offer around a solar reduction of 40% and UV protection of 98% for making the cabins of vehicles more comfortable. These are the opportunities in dynamic glazing market. 

Market Restraints 

The major restraints of the dynamic glazing market are the high acquisition cost of smart glass solutions. Lack of awareness about dynamic glazing among the population. Lack of patents and suitable technical expertise. Electrochromic glass has already found its way to the automotive sector. It is used in various sectors such as windscreens and windows. However, the highest price of electrochromic glass and lack of innovation is the main restraining factor of dynamic glazing market growth.

Cumulative evaluation of the market 

The products used in construction activities that have the skill to change their performance properties are known as dynamic glazing products. The dynamic glazed windows and doors transform their performance automatically for replying to environmental signals or control. The dynamic glazing market is expected to develop with a 6.2% CAGR during the dynamic glazing market Forecast period.
