Dublin, Nov. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fktm92/worldwide_smart)
has announced the addition of the
"Worldwide Smart Windows Markets Report: 2013-2020" report to
their offering.
Expert teams have now been tracking the smart windows for four
years. During that time many smart windows technologies have become
mature, reducing the uncertainties associated with deploying smart
windows in both buildings and vehicles. At the same time, higher
energy prices ensure that the value created by smart windows is
increasing rapidly.
With these trends in mind, this latest smart windows report
examines where the next opportunities in the self-dimming and
self-cleaning windows sector are coming from. As with the previous
reports in this space, it pinpoints where the money will be made -
and lost - in the worldwide
smart windows business. But in this report we have focused
especially on projecting the take up of smart windows in the
construction, automotive and aerospace industries and the
likelihood that it will be specified by designers and architects.
The report also discusses which countries and geographical regions
present the best potential for selling smart windows.
As part of the overall analysis, this report also examines the
numerous cost and technical challenges that will have to be
overcome in this market to make new products a success. In
addition, this report also develops a roadmap for the
next-generation smart windows technologies, especially with regard
to more effective self-dimming and self-cleaning glass. Based on
the road-mapping process we discuss how the growth of the smart
windows will create market opportunities not just for traditional
building and automotive window suppliers but also for the glass and
coatings industries more broadly.
