Market Key Trends
The development of liquid crystal smart glass is one of the key trends in the market. Liquid crystal technology based smart glass uses liquid crystals suspended between two glass or plastic sheets or film. When voltage is applied to the glass sheets, the crystals align to allow or block light transmission. They offer features like adjustable tint and opacity levels to provide optimum daylighting and glare control. This trend is expected to fuel the adoption of smart glass in commercial and residential construction projects over the forecast period.
