The smart window market comprises of electrochromic, photochromic and thermochromic window technologies that offer variable control of light and heat transmission according to the needs. Electrochromic windows make use of electrochromic materials like tungsten oxide and nickel oxide which transition between clear and darkened states when small voltage is applied. They find application in architectural and vehicle applications to offer glare control and improved indoor thermal regulation. The increasing construction of green buildings and adoption of BIPV concepts are driving the demand for smart windows that can allow natural light while controlling heat and glare.

The global smart window market is estimated to be valued at US$ 5.97 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 11.6% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.
