세계의 EC 재료(일렉트로크로믹 재료) 시장 예측(-2030년) : 제품 유형별, 용도별, 최종사용자별, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Electrochromic Materials Market is accounted for $1.5 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $2.6 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period. Electrochromic materials are substances that change color or optical properties in response to an electric voltage. This color change is reversible and can be precisely controlled, making these materials valuable for a range of applications. Commonly used in smart windows, electrochromic materials allow for dynamic control of light and heat transmission, enhancing energy efficiency in buildings by reducing the need for artificial lighting and HVAC systems. They are also employed in displays, mirrors, and automotive applications, providing features like adjustable tinting for privacy and glare reduction. The functionality of electrochromic materials is based on electrochemical reactions that alter the oxidation states of the material, affecting its light absorption properties.

According to Boeing, China is estimated to require around 7,600 new commercial aircraft, valued at USD 1.2 trillion, over the next two decades.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand for energy-efficient building technologies

Electrochromic materials, which change color or opacity in response to an electric charge, enhance energy efficiency by regulating light and heat transmission through windows. This capability reduces reliance on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, lowering energy consumption and costs. As building codes and regulations become more stringent regarding energy efficiency, the need for advanced materials like electrochromic films grows boosting the growth of the market.

Restraint:

Production and installation costs

The advanced technology and specialized manufacturing processes required to produce high-quality electrochromic materials contribute to their elevated costs, making them less competitive compared to traditional materials. These high costs can deter potential customers, particularly in cost-sensitive sectors, and slow the adoption of electrochromic solutions in residential and commercial buildings. Additionally, the expense of installing electrochromic systems can be prohibitive for some projects, further restricting market growth.

Opportunity:

Growing emphasis on sustainability and reducing carbon footprints

Electrochromic materials, which control light and heat transmission through dynamic glazing, contribute to energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions by reducing the need for artificial lighting and HVAC systems in buildings. As sustainability becomes a central focus for both regulatory bodies and consumers, there is increased demand for energy-efficient solutions, including electrochromic windows and facades. This trend drives investment and innovation in electrochromic technologies, leading to advancements in performance and cost reduction.

Threat:

Complex and specialized manufacturing processes

The intricate technologies and precise techniques required to produce high-quality electrochromic materials contribute to higher manufacturing expenses, making these products more expensive compared to conventional alternatives. This cost burden can deter potential customers and slow down market adoption, particularly in price-sensitive segments. Additionally, the specialized nature of the manufacturing processes can create bottlenecks in production and limit the ability to scale up quickly to meet growing demand.

Covid-19 Impact:

COVID-19 impacted the electrochromic materials market by causing disruptions in supply chains and delays in production and installation. The pandemic led to reduced construction activities and slower adoption of new technologies, impacting market growth. However, it also accelerated interest in energy-efficient and smart building technologies as businesses and governments increasingly prioritized sustainability and health in the wake of the pandemic. This shift heightened awareness of the benefits of electrochromic materials for improving indoor environments and energy efficiency.

The viologens segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The viologens is expected to be the largest during the forecast period as they offer promising properties such as high optical contrast and fast switching times and their ability to change color in response to an applied voltage makes them valuable for applications in smart windows and displays. The use of viologens in electrochromic devices can enhance performance and expand the range of applications, driving innovation and market growth.

The smart glass windows segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The smart glass windows segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to their ability to dynamically adjust transparency enhances energy efficiency by reducing heating, cooling, and lighting costs in buildings. As the market for smart glass windows grows, driven by increasing emphasis on energy efficiency and smart building technologies, there is a corresponding rise in demand for electrochromic materials.

Region with largest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to increasing focus on energy-efficient building technologies and smart glass solutions is driving the demand for electrochromic materials in North America. The region's commitment to sustainability and green building standards promotes the use of dynamic glazing systems that enhance energy savings and indoor comfort. Further as North America is a hub for innovation in electrochromic technologies the region companies are advancing the development of new materials and improving the performance of existing electrochromic systems, contributing to market growth.
