Dublin, Feb. 17, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/m3..._resistant ) has announced the addition of the "Fire Resistant Glass Market by Type, by Application, & by Region - Trends & Forecasts to 2019" report to their offering.
In terms of value, the fire resistant glass market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.56% from 2014 and 2019 and is estimated to have a market size of $5.75 billion by 2019. The building & construction is the largest application of fire resistant glass.
The report on fire resistant glass includes four different types of glasses. These are wired glass, ceramic glass, tempered glass, and laminated glass. The fire resistant market is witnessing a high growth because of the stringent norms & regulations, and a growing demand in the Asia-pacific & RoW regions. Fire resistant glass is largely used in the building & construction industry, in order to restrict the spread of flames & smokes and block the transfer of radiant and conductive heat.
The increasing building safety codes and fire safety regulations in major markets along with increasing demand for passive fire protection is driving the market for fire resistant glasses. In European markets, as per the current regulations it is mandatory to use fire resistant glass in schools and healthcare facilities. Such regulations are driving the demand for fire resistant glass in European markets.
The market for fire resistant glass in North American region is increasing at a slower rate than Asia-Pacific and RoW regions. The level of building safety codes and regulations is high in North America, but the architects and manufacturers prefer to use active fire protection in buildings instead of passive fire protection. However, the increasing awareness about safety codes and growing demand for passive fire protection systems are driving the market in North America. It is projected that the market for ceramic fire resistant glass will increase at the highest CAGR in North America.
