Global Bulletproof Glass Market Report, 2016: Asahi, Nippon Sheet, PPG & Saint Gogain Dominate the Industry
M2 - Thu Jan 09, 10:46AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4vvbr2/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Bulletproof Glass Market Report, 2016" report to their offering. One of the main drivers in this market is the rapid growth of the Automobile sector. With many countries emerging from the economic crisis, the GDP of countries such as the US, Southeast Asia, and China are steadily improving. This has, in turn, propelled the growth of the Automobile sector. Moreover, the improving economic conditions in many countries have promoted spending on value-added features in automobiles such as bulletproof security glass. One of the major trends being witnessed in the market is the rapidly increasing urbanization, which will have a positive influence on the Housing sector, thereby boosting the demand for bulletproof glass used for safety purposes. The increasing urbanization will also drive the demand for bulletproof glass in high-end automobiles, high-end residential buildings, and in the Banking sector. The fast-paced growth of urbanization is directly proportional to the security threats faced by high-net-worth individuals. Hence, high-net-worth individuals are now opting for bulletproof cars and armored vehicles as well as very secure residential architectures. Thus, the rapidly increasing urbanization is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the market during the forecast period. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the sluggish demand in the Construction sector. This is mainly attributed to the financial sub-prime crisis of 2008-2009, which has had a negative impact on the Construction sector. Bulletproof glass is mainly used in housing projects and building, in windows, facades, and reinforcement structures. However, currently, there is a weak demand for high-security bulletproof glass from the Construction sector. The key vendors dominating this space include: - Asahi Glass Co.

Increasing Number of Cases of HAIs a Major Factor Driving the Growth of the Global Antibacterial Glass Market says 2014 Report
M2 - Mon Feb 17, 9:45AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b9wv7l/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Antibacterial Glass Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Antibacterial Glass market to grow at a CAGR of 6.39 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing prevalence of HAIs. The Global Antibacterial Glass market has also been witnessing the increase in competition among vendors. However, the lack of a standard industry benchmark could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are Asahi Glass Co. Ltd., BUFA GmbH & Co. KG, Nippon Sheet Glass Co. Ltd., and Saint-Gobain S.A. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Beijing JiYan-Tech Co. Ltd., Corning Inc., Essex Safety Glass Ltd., Glas Trosch Holding AG, Ishizuka Glass Co. Ltd., Joh. Sprinz GmbH & Co. KG, Morley Glass & Glazing Ltd., and Vetraria Bergamasca Tecnovetro S.r.l. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The Global Antibacterial Glass market has been witnessing growth in the demand for antibacterial glass from the Food and Beverage industry. The major reason behind this growth is the increased number of instances of food poisoning. Many recent food poisoning cases in the US and food hygiene-related issues in Europe in 2011-2012 have forced Food and Beverage industry vendors to take preventive measures. For instance, hundreds of people fell ill after consuming Salmonella-tainted salmon in the US in 2012. Also, the increasing consumer awareness about contaminated food has increased the concern for food safety. Antibacterial glass is best suited for structures where hygiene requirements have high priority. They also prevent fungi from multiplying. These factors are forcing Food and Beverage industry vendors to adopt antibacterial glass to prevent instances of food poisoning. According to the report, the increasing number of cases of HAIs is a major factor driving the growth of the Global Antibacterial Glass market. It is estimated that every year 1.7 million cases of HAIs occur in the US and 99,000 people die from such infections. Further, the report states that the low awareness about antibacterial glass is a major challenge faced by the vendors.
