The global smart glass market size was valued at USD 5.13 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3 percent from 2022 to 2030. The growing energy-conservation initiatives, such as green buildings and eco-friendly structures, are expected to drive market expansion. Besides, a favourable regulatory scenario facilitating financial and tax benefits is also expected to positively influence the market space during the forecast period. Edgeglass is a leading supplier of smart glass technology.
Since 2015, with 44 dealers, 17 Technicians, and four sales coordinators working across India, Edgeglass has become the fastest-growing smart glass start-up supplier with a robust presence in major national and international markets catered to Leading IT companies, Star Hotels, Hospitals, leading brand showrooms and Celebrities residence.
To expand its research and development into sophisticated technology-based solutions, Edgeglass has teamed with Daunon, South Korea, and formed subsidiary enterprises in Malaysia and Middle East to increase its global footprint. An innovative and technology-focused team of professionals supports the brand’s competence. Edgeglass has a strong presence in all of India’s main cities, ensuring the best possible service.
Offering Services to a Range of industries
Architects are widely using smart technology in new buildings, which is further expected to have a positive impact on product demand in the architectural application sector. Residential and commercial buildings are also getting restored and renovated to make them more energy-efficient, thereby further widening the application scope for smart glass. With the help of liquid crystal-based materials, film applications, and controllers, Edgeglass aims to provide users with reliable, efficient smart glass technology that will transform the workplace into a multi-functional environment suitable for increased privacy, productivity, convenience, and comfort.
The firm seeks to offer cutting-edge solutions for all industry sectors, including but not limited to the building, automotive, healthcare, and service-based industries like hotels. uPVC sliding doors are offered by Edgeglass in double rail, double rail with mesh, and triple rail configurations.
With multi-chambered profiles for improved heat and sound insulation, profile gradients, and integrated water drainage systems to keep rainwater out, these give versatility in designing window and door types to suit requirements.
“Clients are very choosy and wanted to have a unique concept with price and quality playing major factors. Once the customers opt to use Switchable glass, they get tempted to implement the same in other areas. The selfadhesive layer Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) film can be induced to any glass surface which enables the users to converge from transparent to opaque and vice versa in split second. At times we ensure to connect our clients to the world expert team, for them to understand deep down on the product, we know and understand the creditability of our clients”, explains Vijay Amirthraj, Founder, Edgeglass.
Edgeglass claims that its smart glasses are warm, energy-efficient, comfortable, and luxurious without the use of wear-and-tear items like curtains and shades, and more. PDLC is necessary to block heat absorption and damaging UV rays due to the increasing weather strains created by tropical environment conditions. The highperformance glass will be in high demand as a result of the government’s implementation of green policy measures, which is anticipated to increase demand by 17 percent over the next five years.
Delivering Value to Customers
Edgeglass maintains utmost transparency with its clients, be it about the raw materials sourcing or the delivery deadline. “In most of the industry, that I am aware of, say the raw materials are sourced from the US or Europe or even from South Korea. But the truth is they get from the Chinese market which are low-quality raw materials.
Shocking thing is that they provide a lifetime replacement warranty, which is not possible in any industry as every product has its own working life. We always request to the customers to ask for the original certificate or some proofs on airlines or customs duty from where the raw material is being sourced”, says Hruskiesh Behra, Director Sales.

Sharing an instance Vijay Amirthraj says, “The customer called us and said that they got a lesser quote, that too from the US or from Europe and the competitor is giving lifetime warranty. As suggested after a request for the original certificate or airline proof, the competitor backed out from the offer. Money made in a short time by misguiding the customers is never going to help in the long term”. The installation of smart glass helps reduce the energy spending on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and lighting systems as well as improves indoor environment quality of buildings. The growing proclivity towards ‘Green Energy’ resources is further driving the demand for PDLC smart glass technology.
