Electrochromic and Smart Glass: The Largest Domestic Size is About to Roll Off the Production Line, Breaking the Foreign Monopoly
In August 2026, the smart glass field will see a major breakthrough. According to the Harbin Daily, workers at Jingshuo Intelligent Technology's factory in the Harbin New Area New Materials Industrial Park are carrying out renovations in an orderly manner. The first ultra-large-size all-solid-state electrochromic electronic film production line in China will begin equipment installation this November, and the largest electrochromic glass in China (1.9m x 3.1m) is expected to roll off the production line this March next year. The project's launch will break the long-standing foreign monopoly on high-end electrochromic glass and fill a gap in the domestic industry.

Electrochromic glass is a smart material that changes the depth of glass color and light transmittance by applying voltage. It can be widely used in commercial building curtain walls, automotive sunroofs, rail transit, and smart electronic device displays, among other fields. According to Straits Research, the global smart glass market size was $7.83 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from $8.67 billion in 2026 to $19.55 billion in 2034, representing a CAGR of 10.7% from 2026 to 2034. The electro-optical glass market is also at a critical juncture, bridging technological maturity and explosive application growth.

In the automotive smart glass sector, Fuyao Glass's 2026 semi-annual report shows that the proportion of its high-value-added products, such as smart panoramic sunroofs, dimmable glass, and head-up display glass, continued to increase, rising 8.03 percentage points year-on-year. The company stated that it will closely follow the industry trend of accelerated intelligentization, integration, and functionalization of automotive glass, focusing on continuous innovation in core dimensions such as sound, light, electricity, and waves.

Zhejiang Jingtai Glass Technology has made forward-looking investments in the smart glass field. In 2024, the company obtained a utility model patent authorization for "a smart dimming bulletproof glass structure," innovatively integrating smart dimming functionality with bulletproof safety functions, expanding the application boundaries of smart dimming glass in security-sensitive scenarios such as financial security and special vehicles. The company is also jointly conducting pre-research on electrochromic smart glass technology with Quzhou University, actively reserving next-generation smart glass technologies. With the accelerated maturation of the domestic electrochromic glass industry chain, the company's technological reserves in the smart glass field are expected to usher in greater industrialization opportunities.

New National Standard for Architectural Safety Glass Implemented: Systemic Improvement of Industry Quality Threshold

In August 2026, the field of architectural safety glass ushered in a milestone standard upgrade. Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation approved and released the mandatory national standard GB 46030—2025 "Safety Technical Requirements for Architectural Safety Glass," as well as the recommended national standards GB/T 15763.1~4—2025 "Safety Glass for Architectural Use" and GB/T 11944 "Insulating Glass" series of supporting national standards. This set of standards constructs a complete safety management system of "mandatory general principles + specific product items," unifying the safety baseline, testing procedures, and judgment rules for architectural safety glass, and comprehensively preventing and mitigating building safety hazards such as glass breakage injuries and fire spread.

Addressing the industry pain points of fragmented standards and outdated key safety indicators in the past, the entire set of standards mainly makes three core provisions:

First, it unifies the mandatory safety baseline. The standards uniformly cover five major categories of glass: tempered, homogeneous tempered, laminated, safety insulated glass, and fire-resistant glass. This addresses the previous lack of mandatory requirements for safety insulated glass, and clearly defines a list of mandatory testing items, including drop ball impact peeling, shot bag impact, fragmentation, bending strength, weather resistance, and fire resistance.

Secondly, the standards refine differentiated safety indicators. For tempered and homogeneous tempered glass, strict limits are placed on the number of fragments and minimum bending strength requirements. For laminated glass, specific requirements are set for drop ball penetration and glass fragments not detaching or peeling off. Fire-resistant glass is divided into three categories: A (insulated), B (partially insulated), and C (non-insulated), with five fire resistance ratings ranging from 0.5 hours to 3 hours. For homogeneous tempered glass, a standardized hot-dip galvanizing process is specified, significantly reducing the risk of spontaneous breakage.

Thirdly, a unified closed-loop testing and comprehensive judgment mechanism is established. The standards unify the sampling quantities, testing procedures, and re-inspection rules for various types of glass, distinguishing between factory inspection and type inspection requirements. Enterprises, testing institutions, engineers, and regulators can conduct product hazard investigations, on-site acceptance, and random inspections based on these unified standards.

The implementation of this series of standards marks the official entry of the architectural safety glass industry into a new stage driven by technology and focused on quality. Zhejiang Jingtai Glass Technology has already conducted comprehensive technical benchmarking and process upgrades against the new national standards, achieving full compliance in core categories such as fire-resistant glass, tempered glass, and laminated glass. The company's products have passed the national mandatory product certification "CCC" and the EU CE certification. In March 2026, its tempered glass products again obtained EU CE certification, providing a solid guarantee for product exports to the EU market.

Emergency Equipment and Fire Safety: Special Glass Included in the "15th Five-Year Plan" for Emergency Equipment
In August 2026, the building materials industry received another policy boost. According to the China Building Materials News, the building materials industry has been included in the key areas for transformation in the "15th Five-Year Plan" for emergency equipment. Regarding the development of advanced emergency basic materials, the "Plan" identifies key research and development categories, including special inorganic non-metallic materials that are high-temperature resistant, highly flame-retardant, corrosion-resistant, and impact-resistant; and fire-resistant and flame-retardant building materials such as fire-retardant coatings, fire-resistant glass, fire-stopping building materials, fire-resistant and heat-insulating silicate boards, and aerogel heat-insulating building materials.

This policy signal signifies that special safety glass products, such as fire-resistant glass, have been elevated to the strategic level of national emergency equipment. Fire-resistant glass not only plays a crucial role in conventional building fire prevention but will also play an important role in emergency equipment and disaster prevention and mitigation scenarios. Zhejiang Jingtai Glass Technology has formed three major product lines in the field of fire-resistant glass: nano-silicon composite fire-resistant glass, monolithic cesium potassium fire-resistant glass, and composite heat-insulating fire-resistant glass. These products can withstand temperatures above 1000℃, with no flame penetration or significant temperature rise within 2 hours, highly aligning with the national emergency equipment plan's demand for high-temperature resistant and highly flame-retardant materials.

Looking to the future, in August 2026, China's special glass industry is standing at an unprecedented strategic window of opportunity. From the accelerated industrialization of semiconductor glass substrates to breaking the foreign monopoly on electrochromic smart glass, from the full implementation of the new national standard for architectural safety glass to the inclusion of special glass in the national emergency equipment plan—specialty glass is expanding comprehensively from traditional building materials to high-value, high-tech fields such as semiconductor packaging, smart cockpits, and emergency equipment.

Zhejiang Jingtai Glass Technology Co., Ltd. will continue to uphold its quality policy of "technology leadership, quality as the foundation, continuous innovation, and satisfactory service." While consolidating its core product advantages in architectural safety glass, energy-saving glass, and smart dimming glass, the company will actively seek development opportunities in cutting-edge sectors such as semiconductor packaging glass and electrochromic smart glass.
