The increased usage in the automobile industry is notably driving the electrochromic materials market growth, although factors such as drawbacks in conventional materials and their high processing cost may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the electrochromic materials industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Electrochromic Materials Market Driver
Increased use in the automobile industry is one of the key factors driving the global electrochromic materials market growth. Smart glass is often used for sunroofs, which give improved control over light and heat emission while decreasing air-conditioning unit use by controlling the car's cabin temperature. This lowers the vehicle's cooling and lighting expenses. Moreover, the development of electric cars may gain traction in the next years, particularly in Europe, China, and the US, wherein several government initiatives are supporting a shift away from fossil fuels due to different environmental concerns. Such factors are expected to positively impact the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Key Electrochromic Materials Market Trend
Another key factor driving the global electrochromic materials market growth is the increasing adoption of nanoparticles in electrochromic materials as they provide better efficiency, chromatic contrast, short switching times, and a wide range of color tuning options. Furthermore, to improve the aesthetics and functionality of smart windows, manufacturers are using electrochromic materials infused with nano properties such as zinc oxide (ZnO), nanowire array modified by violin and tungstic anhydride (WO3), crystalline WO3 nanoparticles and nanotubes, mesoporous WO3, titanium dioxide (TiO2), poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) nanotubes, blue nanotubes, and nanostructures in switchable mirrors. When these nanomaterials are integrated into electrochromic materials, they greatly improve their characteristics, which is expected to support the electrochromic materials market growth in the coming years.
Key Electrochromic Materials Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global electrochromic materials market growth is the drawback in conventional materials and their high processing cost. The benefits of electrochromic windows have yet to be exploited on a large scale, as traditional materials have a high cost, durability, and functionality limitations. Thin sheets of transition metal oxides are employed as active materials in commercial electrochromic windows that are formed using costly physical vapor techniques such as sputtering or evaporation. They suffer from material degradation due to repetitive ion intercalation, assume dark, unique hues in their tinted state, and block visible and NIR light. Hence, traditional electrochromic fall short of the ideal smart window, which will hamper its adoption in the key end-use industries, thereby limiting the growth of the electrochromic materials market during the forecast period.
This electrochromic materials market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
In 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 adversely affected the economies of various countries in North America, particularly the US. The lockdowns in various nations, including the US, Canada, and Mexico led to the closure of production facilities, which negatively impacted the expansion of the electrochromic materials industry in the region. However, in the first half of 2021, with the gradual decrease in the number of COVID-19 cases, lockdowns were lifted, which led to the reopening of factories, industries, and manufacturing units. This has increased the sales of automobiles, which is expected to positively impact the regional electrochromic materials market during the forecast period.
