Global Low-E Glass Market: Asia Offers Potential Opportunities Price: $850.00 (€665.52) ($1,020.00 (€798.63) Including VAT at 20%) Publication Date: Sep-2011 Format: PDF Email Pages: 45 Publisher: Koncept Analytics Low Emissivity (Low-E) glass is a type of insulating glass, which increases the energy efficiency of windows by reducing the transfer of heat or cold through glass. That means that the house stays warmer in winters and cooler in summers. Widely used in windows, doors and sunrooms for residential segment and in glazing for commercial segment, Low-e glass market accounts for approximately two-fifth of insulating glass market. The global production of low-e glass has been increasing on the back of growing demand from both the residential and commercial sectors. Residential sector accounts for a maximum share in low-E glass market within which doors and windows hold almost equal shares. Globally utilization rate of low-E glass is highest in the US followed by Europe. In Europe, low-e glass market has almost doubled in terms of volume over the period 2005-2009 due to compulsory energy efficiency regulations and standards. The utilization rate of low-E glass in 2009 was highest in Germany followed by the UK, France and Italy. Most of the Asian regions are untapped; therefore the Asian market provides tremendous growth opportunities. South Korea is the most developed market among the Asian countries in terms of consumption of low-E glass. Another important aspect covered in this report is commercial glazing market. Low-E glass penetration in commercial glazing witnessed a consistent rise over 2000-2009 due to growing environmental concerns globally and the resultant emphasis on the construction of energy efficient buildings. Triple glazing is also gaining importance in construction due to recent regulatory changes in many countries. Low-E glass manufacturers are fragmented with major players operating in this industry include Guardian Industries, Saint-Gobain, Asahi Group. The report titled “Global Low-E Glass Market: Asia Offers Potential Opportunities” covers the overview, classification, market size and segmentation of the global low-E glass market.

Global Container Glass Market Report: 2011 Edition Price: $800.00 (€626.38) ($960.00 (€751.65) Including VAT at 20%) Publication Date: Jul-2011 Format: PDF Email Pages: 42 Publisher: Koncept Analytics The unique attributes of glass like its optical properties, chemical durability, and recyclability account for a range of glass products making it an integral part of the social existence. It is being used for innumerable consumer products ranging from tableware to automotive glass, for lighting and construction, and most importantly as packaging material food and beverages, cosmetics, and chemicals. The ever increasing demand for container glass for both conventional as well as new and specialty products as a result of pioneering researches ensure the continued success of global container glass market. The global market for container glass is projected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 7.9% for the period spanning 2011-2013. The global container glass industry is dominated by Europe and the US, where the container glass category accounts for a sizeable amount of the overall glass market revenues. Both the US and European regions reported an increase in container glass revenues in 2010, in response to improving economic conditions, and rising consumer awareness about the benefits of using glass packaging. In addition, continuous efforts on the part of the governments to promote recycling of glass containers will lead to an unprecedented growth in the container glass market. In the recent years, the emerging nations in the field of container glass category, like India and other developing countries, have acquired a dominant position posing as potential threat and as well as opportunity for the existing markets. Glass as a packaging material is being increasingly preferred by consumers inclined towards a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. At the same time, the industry is also encouraging the use of glass packaging due to features of better shelf life, design possibilities and recyclability. The factors driving the global container glass market include mainly the growth in beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industry. However, the development of plastic and PET containers has provided a packaging alternative thus creating a challenge for the global container glass market. The current landscape of the global container glass market is intensely competitive with numerous large and regional players operating in the market, competing on the basis of price, quality, and other marketing attributes. The leading players in the global container glass industry include Saint-Gobain, Owens-Illinois, and Vetropack, among others. The report analyzes the global container glass industry with focus on the US and Europe. The report presents the competitive structure of the industry and profiles major players in the glass packaging market.

Worldwide Flat Glass Market: 2011 Edition Price: $800.00 (€626.38) ($960.00 (€751.65) Including VAT at 20%) Publication Date: May-2011 Format: PDF Email Pages: 50 Publisher: Koncept Analytics Flat glass is a type of glass which is primarily manufactured in plane form and then can be bent, curved or rolled as per the requirement. Flat glass can be manufactured by a number of processes, like float, rolled and sheet, out of which float process remains to be the most widely used one and around 90% of the total flat glass worldwide is manufactured through float process. Primarily, the flat glass is used in building products or construction industry, automotive industry and some specialty industries including PV cells and display market, among the others. Construction industry accounts for the maximum share in the flat glass consumption, followed by automotive, with some but growing share in the specialty industries. The global flat glass market has increased in terms of available capacity as well as demand form the past few years, but declined in 2009, mainly due to the global economic recession. In terms of demand, China has been the largest market for flat glass, followed by Europe and North America. China is also the largest flat glass producing region, and is the only country where the demand had not been affected by the global economic recession, that started in late 2007. With the solar PV market on a rise, the flat glass market is also going to benefit. There has been an increasing demand for energy efficient buildings, which would increase the consumption of glass in buildings and motor vehicles. Also, since the end use markets for flat glass are all highly sensitive to the global economic environments, this makes the flat glass demand correlated to the economic conditions. The report analyzes the global flat glass market, with focus on regional markets including Europe, Japan, ASEAN, North America, South America, China and Former Soviet Union.
