Market Trends of Electrochromic Materials Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Electrochromic Materials Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Usage in the Automotive Industry
- Automotive sector is a significant market which holds potential for growth in terms of the demand for electrochromic glass and films. Smart glass is used in the form of doors, windows, sunroofs and rear mirror.
- Smart glass is extensively used for sunroofs that offer cost-saving benefits and provide superior control over light and heat emission, reducing the consumption of the air-conditioning unit by maintaining the car's cabin temperature. This reduces the cooling and lighting costs of the vehicle.
- In 2019, the automotive production witnessed a decline owing to trade war pf US-China and other political reasons. This is expected to continue in the first half of 2020, owing to the weak sales in second half of 2019. However, the automotive industry is likely to recover by the end of 2020.
- In addition, the development of electric vehicles may continue to gain momentum in the upcoming years especially in Europe, China. and United States, where many government programs are promoting a move away from fossil fuels owing to the various environmental concerns.
- Owing to all these factors, the market for electrochromic materials is likely to grow across the world during the forecast period.
