Abstract
US demand to grow 5% annually through 2012
US demand for advanced flat glass is expected to grow five percent annually,
reaching $7.2 billion by 2012. This reflects the increasing acceptance and
market penetration of a variety of advanced flat glass products, including
laminated glass used in motor vehicle sidelites and sunroofs, and as
antiburglary or ballistic glass; smart glass for solar control applications;
self-cleaning glass; and heads-up display glass.
Promising "smart glass" beginning to commercialize
Among the advanced flat glass products which has held out the most promise is
"smart glass," which can automatically change its light transmission qualities
as a means of saving energy and reducing heat gain in structures. While the
expected impact of these products has been slow to develop, it appears that
commercialization is finally beginning to materialize.
Laminated glass products to increase market share
Laminated glass products, used in a variety of applications, including safety
glass, ballistic glass, anti-burglary glass and hurricane glass, are
increasing their share of total flat glass demand. These products possess much
greater strength than competing tempered or annealed glass, offering
performance advantages to a variety of flat glass users, including builders
and manufacturers of motor vehicles, aircraft and other transportation
equipment.
Study coverage
It presents historical demand data (1997, 2002, 2007) plus forecasts for the
years 2012 and 2017 for security and safety glass (tempered and laminated
vehicle safety glass, fire-rated glass, ballistic glass, burglary resistant
glass and hurricane glass); solar control glass (lowemissivity glass,
reflective glass and smart glass); and other advanced flat glass products
(heads-up display windscreens, ultraclear and colorless glass, self-cleaning
glass and miscellaneous products). In addition, the study considers market
environment factors, evaluates company market share and profiles leading
competitors.
