Challenges

  • Durability concerns and technical performance limitations: Despite significant innovations, the electrochromic glass market continues to witness performance obstacles that restrict its application in certain contexts. Notable technical risks, such as the switching speed, is usually time-consuming, which appears to be slow for rapidly modifying light conditions. Besides, the color uniformity in the tinted state can also be a challenge for large-scale panels, potentially affecting the aesthetic aspect of buildings. Moreover, long-lasting durability and lifespan under actual conditions, such as continuous cycling and exposure to severe temperatures, are still a huge concern for specifiers. The presence of chemical layers within the glass can also degrade with time, eventually resulting in performance loss, failure, and color shift. Therefore, these technical uncertainties develop perceived risk for engineers and architects, which further causes a hindrance in the market’s growth.
  • Manufacturing scalability and complicated supply chain: The production process in the electrochromic glass market is a multi-stage and complicated process that comprises depositing thin films of customized chemicals over glass substrates, particularly in clean-room and highly controlled environments. This complexity has developed a fragile and expensive supply chain system, dependent on specific raw materials, whose price and variability can be volatile. Besides, scaling manufacturing to cater to projected international demand displays a monumental risk, demanding huge capital investment in sophisticated equipment and the newest production lines. Unlike standard float glass, which is produced in continuous and huge volumes, the electrochromic glass manufacturing is closer to the semiconductor sector, with reduced yields and increased precision, thus negatively impacting the production process.
