The region's commitment to reducing carbon emissions and promoting green building initiatives, such as the EU’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and LEED certifications, has significantly driven the demand for smart glass in residential and commercial construction. Additionally, European automotive manufacturers, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi, are at the forefront of integrating smart glass technologies in luxury and electric vehicles (EVs) to enhance energy efficiency and passenger comfort. The increasing number of smart city projects across Germany, France, and the UK has further accelerated the deployment of smart glass in public infrastructure, offices, and transportation systems. Moreover, advancements in electrochromic and thermochromic technologies, supported by European research institutions and manufacturers, have positioned the region as a leader in smart glazing solutions. With continued investments in sustainable construction, automotive innovations, and technological advancements, Europe is expected to maintain its dominance in the smart glass and smart window market.
Smart Glass and Smart Window Market: Key Takeaways
Growing Adoption in Automotive and Transportation Industry:
The automotive and transportation sectors are witnessing a significant rise in the adoption of smart glass and smart windows due to their ability to enhance passenger comfort, improve energy efficiency, and increase vehicle aesthetics. Automakers are integrating smart glass into sunroofs, windows, and windshields to provide adjustable tinting, reducing glare and heat penetration inside vehicles. One of the key driving forces behind this trend is the growing demand for luxury and electric vehicles (EVs). High-end automobile manufacturers, including Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW, are incorporating electrochromic and thermochromic smart glass technologies to offer a premium driving experience. In January 2025, Gauzy in Israel has developed an energy harvesting smart glass with black suspended particles for the first time. The black SPD technology is a dimmable glass with a distinguishable black appearance for the automotive, aeronautics, and architecture industries. Additionally, with increasing focus on sustainability, smart windows help reduce the load on air conditioning systems by blocking excessive heat, thereby improving overall vehicle efficiency and range in EVs. Public transportation systems, including trains, buses, and airplanes, are also embracing smart glass technology to enhance passenger experience. Dynamic shading capabilities allow passengers to adjust window opacity for privacy and comfort, while improving energy efficiency in transit systems. The continued development of autonomous and connected vehicles is expected to further accelerate the demand for smart glass, positioning it as a crucial component in the next generation of mobility solutions.

Advancements in Smart Glass Technologies and Materials:
Technological advancements in smart glass materials are driving innovation and expanding the market potential. Traditional electrochromic and thermochromic smart glass technologies are now being enhanced with new materials like liquid crystal, suspended particle devices (SPD), and nanotechnology-based coatings, improving performance, speed, and energy efficiency. One of the major breakthroughs in this field is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities into smart glass solutions. AI-driven sensors can automatically adjust window opacity based on external weather conditions, time of day, or user preferences, further optimizing energy usage. In January 2022, AGC and EyeLights have teamed up to develop an smart glass augmented reality (AR) windscreen that will enable safer driving in cars. The new development by AGC and EyeLights also offers other benefits, including maximum virtual screen size (550 inches) and a projection distance of 50 metres from the driver. Additionally, IoT-enabled smart windows can be connected to home automation systems, allowing remote control via smartphones and voice assistants. The rise of self-powered smart glass is another emerging trend. Researchers are developing photovoltaic smart windows that can generate electricity while dynamically adjusting transparency levels. This innovation combines solar energy harvesting with dynamic glazing, providing dual benefits of energy production and efficiency. As research and development efforts continue, the smart glass industry is expected to witness major technological leaps that enhance functionality, durability, and affordability.
