The global photochromic films market size was USD 43 million in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 91.44 million in 2031, at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period.

The photochromic film is a thin material you can mount on a window surface. It can use this film on polycarbonate or glass surface that do not have photochromic features.The photochromic film is fairly diverse from the old-fashioned tinted films. These films alter the degree of shade depending on the light strength. An upsurge in the sun’s UV energy or illumination makes the film shadier. The photochromic film has exclusive features that are most renowned for their presence. During the daytime or when bare to sunlight, photochromic window film reduces a dimmer shade that deals the same ultraviolet (UV) protection as the greatest sun-blocking films.

COVID-19 Impact: Halt on Construction Sector to Impede Market Growth

The construction sector has encountered problems due to the COVID-19 pandemic, containing logistics and raw material scarcities. Accredited to the enormous drop in financial markets around the globe, it is anticipated that building funds have been reserved globally. Therefore, the demand for window films has reduced. The limitations forced by governments to fight the virus's influences may cause in lack of raw materials and people, and a disrupted supply chain, creating it more problematic to meet pledged duties. 

LATEST TRENDS

"Technological Advancements to Support Market Development"

The photochromic film is a new, practical, and stylish material that might be used for a range of functions in commercial and household purposes. Glass is tremendously adjustable, as it can be cut into exact designs. It displays features such as UV resistance, scratch-resistant, and solar radiation. It is made of Polyethylene Teraphthalate (PET) or thin vinyl and be able to be put on flat, non-textured cut-glass straight away. It is a self-adhesive or static cling and can be used for a range of permanent or temporary uses. The operative life is determined by the type of film used, the glass used, the window construction, the compass orientation of the glass, and the position of the construction.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Global Warming and Environmental Change to Assist Product Demand"

The rising focus on the environment and energy-efficient constructions will allow the speedy development of the photochromic film market. This is owing to the growing global warming and environmental change is enhancing the growth of the market. Films are planned to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions of buildings, thus helping the environment. The growing infrastructure development can spur prospects for the photochromic films market growth in the coming year. Moreover, the consumption of photochromic films decreases energy consumption while also enlightening ambient refrigeration severely. The stringent management guidelines for the construction of green buildings will accordingly benefit the enlargement of the photochromic film market.

"Increasing Adoption in Automobiles to Inflate Market Growth"

The increasing preference for window coloring and the number of vehicles on the roads are the motivating factors for the growth of the market. Users are showing more curiosity in window tinting due to its numerous benefits such as heat decreasing capacity, fight to ultraviolet light, and restricted glare. Photochromic expertise permits the glass to dim when open to sunlight. Photochromic window films are capable to approve deep sunlight and improve the inside environment which will lessen the energy consumption of the building. Moreover, commercial buildings are the foremost end-users of window tinting. Protection and safety are also the major advantages of window tinting. They are available in a dense, safety window film type, which helps grasp window glass in place if crushed. This feature can decrease the risks of theft, property destruction.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Government Regulations to Hamper Product Demand"

The existence of strict guideline on photochromic films used in vehicles that restricts visible light transmission (VLT) is anticipated to influence the market growth. Low reflectivity can lead to robbery or mishap, mainly at night. A low VLT score inclines to have improved glare control while a higher score is desired for upholding natural lights. The VLT of the photochromic film is an important part of describing the acceptability of heat protection, UV protection, and security concern.
