The burgeoning security industry currently represents one of the significant factors fueling the market growth. Smart glass can be installed in the surveillance rooms, command centers and observation decks to give the clear visibility when needed and privacy when required. Besides the effectiveness of their surveillance, this feature protects sensitive data from unauthorized access. In addition, smart glass is used in secure facilities, data centers, and critical infrastructure sites to improve the physical security measures. By controlling the visibility from the outside, smart glass prevents possible hazards like unauthorized surveillance, vandalism or unwanted intrusion. Additionally, these glasses can be embedded into access control systems and secured entrances to authenticate people and control entry to the restricted areas. It enhances security by providing visual confirmation of identity while maintaining privacy for authorized personnel.

Increasing Focus on Energy-Efficiency

As per the International Energy Agency, the global investment in energy efficiency reached USD 560 billion in 2022, an increase of 16% on 2021. Governing agencies and regulatory bodies in several countries are imposing stricter energy efficiency regulations and building codes to lower carbon emissions and reduce climate change. Smart glass technologies including electrochromic and thermochromic glass fulfilling these objectives by utilizing daylight, controlling solar heat gain, and cutting down on the use of artificial lighting and heating systems. Moreover, energy-efficient buildings fitted with smart glass technologies benefit from low operating costs for heating, cooling, and lighting because of reduced energy consumption. Smart glass technology is helpful in maximizing the use of daylighting, minimizing the solar heat gain, and improving thermal insulation, which is consequently lead to reduction of dependence on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and artificial lighting.

Thriving Retail Sector

Smart glass technologies provide retailers with the ability to generate an intense and interactive shopping atmosphere for individuals, which can have a positive effect on their brand appearance. The switchable smart glass displays and shop windows provide retailers with an engaging and original mode of product presentation, boosting the appeal of stores and thus attracting more people to stores. Moreover, smart glass applications for retailers is allowing them to redesign their visual marketing plans with management of transparency and adjusting lighting conditions. Dynamic window displays and interactive products attract individuals and encourage impulse purchases, contributing to increased sales and smart glass market revenue. The smart glass allows retailers to be able to tune their display in real-time according to the seasonal promotions, trends and the stock level. According to the IMARC Group’s report, the global retail market is expected to reach US$ 46,304.9 Billion by 2032.
