Dublin, Nov. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fk...wide_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.
