Smart Glass Market Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast Industry Research Report 2014-2024: New Released Report

Smart Glass 2014-2024: Technologies, Markets, Forecasts

Smart glass technology has received hundreds of millions of dollars in investment over the past few years. This has resulted in a rapid expansion of the production capacity globally. At the same time, the trends towards energy efficiency, comfort and privacy are creating demand. The demand is also being pushed by the fact that smart glass technology is also being exploited as a differentiator in the otherwise highly competitive and commoditised glass industry.

To check out the complete table of contents, visit: http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis-details/smart-glass-2014-2024-technologies-markets-forecasts

Despite this and despite more than twenty years of technology development the market today remains relatively small. The foundation stones for future growth are however being set today, both on the supply and the demand side. Indeed, IDTechEx Research estimates that the value of this market will reach at least $700 million in 2013.

Technology

Smart glass refers to a multitude of technologies covering electro-chromic, thermo-chromic, suspended particle and liquid crystal technologies. Each technology offers a different set of attributes and cost structure, and is therefore aimed at a different market segment. Interestingly, there are slight variations even within a given technology, owing to the launch of successive technology generations.

Electro-chromic technologies (EC) give the user the ability to tune the optical transmission from clear to dark. They however have a low switching speed, lack complete opacity, and offer only a mid-range price tag compared to other smart glass technologies. Thermo-chromic technologies, in contrast, give no control to the end user. Instead, the offer the lowest cost option.

Liquid crystal (LC) smart glass technology beats others in terms of switching speed, and the opacity of the dark state. It however also falls short on controllability as only two states (clear or opaque) can be achieved. It is amongst the more expensive options too.

Suspended particle technology combines high switching speed and user control. This is a compelling value proposition but comes at a cost. Indeed, this technology commands the highest price tag today.

This report will offer

• Detailed assessment of each smart glass technology covering operating principles, materials, manufacturing processes, latest innovations and unresolved technology challenges
• Detailed benchmarking of different smart glass technologies on the basis of cost, transmission, quality, controllability, power usage, etc...

Market

Smart glass has already achieved limited commercial success. For example, suspended particles smart glass technology is being increasingly adopted in premium luxury cars such as the Mercedes Benz SLK. This technology was gained traction in this market segment owing to its high switching speed and high user controllability. Another high-profile success story is the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner which has incorporated electrochromatic technology onto its passenger windows.

The building sector is potentially the highest volume market. There are still remaining challenges in this market however. In particular, smart glass windows are still over-priced and price parity will only be reached if global capacity utilisation reaches economies of scale in the range of 500,000 sqm, according to our detailed analysis of the cost structure and depreciation.

The commercial sub-segment of the building industry will be the early adopter here. This is because commercial buildings value iconic differentiations and, if managed well, cost savings may be realised on the basis of total cost of ownership. This segment is also growing in attractiveness as the glass content on commercial buildings is on the rise.

Most of manufacturing capacity is located in America however Europe will see more investments in the coming years since glass shipping is not cost effective and the European market uses larger glass formats than the American one.

Key Features and Benefits

• The report provides detailed analysis of the market for military ammunitionduring 2013-2023, including the factors that influence why countries are investing or cutting expenditure on military ammunition. It provides detailed expectations of growth rates and projected total expenditure.
• The global ammunition industry is expected to witness a steady rise in the number of joint ventures and strategic alliances during the forecast period, due to the insufficient indigenous manufacturing capabilities of numerous countries such as the US, India, and Brazil. These countries are dependent on foreign ammunition manufacturers in order to meet demand and develop indigenous ammunition manufacturing capabilities. Some recent notable joint ventures are mentioned below: 
• By the end of 2013, Russia and India are expected to establish a joint venture to manufacture ammunition for the Smerch multiple launch rocket system in India. The Russian firms Rosoboronexport and OAO NPO Splav are expected to form a joint venture with the artillery production department of the Indian defense ministry in order to produce, as well as provide after sales support to, the specified ammunition in India.
• In April 2012, General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems and Rheinmetall Defense announced the formation ofa joint venture called Defense Munitions International, LLC in order to develop and market the new and existing kinetic energy and multi-purpose cartridges,which are elements of tank ammunition. The JV intends to market these products in the US as well as international markets.
• In January 2012, BAE Systems and Olin Winchester announced that they have formed a joint venture called US Munitions, LLC in the US. The joint venture was formed with an aim to undertake the contract awarded by the US DoD to manage, operate and maintain its Lake City Army Ammunition Plant till 2022. The contract is worth US$8.4 billion.

Key Market Issues

• Reducing the weight of ammunition without compromising combat performance is a key challenge for the military ammunition industry. The modernization of soldier systems to protect and empower the soldier has resulted in an exponential increase in the total weight being carried. The combined weight of equipment prevents them from being agile, mobile, and effective war fighters, and the lives of soldiers are being put at risk as heavy life saving equipment is often being left behind. Defense agencies worldwide are focusing on sourcing and integrating the most affordable, lightweight soldier equipment and technology to reduce the burden to personnel. For example, the US Department of Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium awarded a US$2.05 million contract to AAI's Lightweight Small Arms Technologies (LSAT) team, part of Textron Systems to innovate both its caseless and cased telescoped lightweight ammunition and weapon technologies. The contract includes refining the 5.56mm Cased Telescoped ammunition and Light Machine Gun in support of an Army live fire experiment; development, testing and characterization of prototype 5.56mm Caseless ammunition; and extending Cased Telescoped ammunition technologies to a 7.62mm cartridge. The US Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) and the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research are jointly participating in this program. The contract is for a one year period and the team of AAI consists of Alliant Techsystems (ATK), Veritay Technology, and St. Marks Powder, a General Dynamics company. The UK MoD also plans to reduce the load on soldiers from 70 kg to no more than 25 kg under the Reducing the Burden on the Dismounted Soldier (RBDS) program. Furthermore, defense ministries are funding research and development projects that focus on reducing the weight of equipment, power, and communication systems that soldiers carry. All capability areas such as lethality - soldier's weapons and ammunition; survivability and mobility - body armor, clothing, helmet, and equipment; C4ISR - radios, wearable computers, and optics, have to be integrated to reduce the weight.
• Recent years have witnessed an increase in shortage of skilled laborers globally, mainly due to growing orders from the defense ministries for ammunition. There is a scarcity of technically skilled workers in firearms industry and the companies catering to ammunition needs of the militaries are ready to recruit more workers if they get in order to reduce their order backlogs. Skilled laborers were already scarce in the past in the arms and ammunition industry and the big ammunition programs announced by some countries recently have further caused the supply shortage to grow. The procurement of small caliber ammunition worth US$8.5 billion by the US DoD and US$3.2 billion Munition Acquisition Supply Solutions (Mass) program of the UK MoD are examples of such huge ammunition programs being carried out. Manufacturers that are supplying ammunition to the defense ministry started working with educational institutions to create programs to provide technicians for the industry as many of the positions are vacant in these companies due to lack of right workers. Implementation of measures to fill the existing shortage of skilled work force to clear order backlogs and get workers for positions that are newly created due to programs recently announced are expected to take much time and as such during the forecast period, lack of skilled laborers is expected to remain as a key challenge for the military ammunition industry.
• The US government announced the withdrawal of majority of its troops from Afghanistan in 2011 and it started gradual withdrawal in the same year. By February 2014, 34,000 troops are expected to remain in Afghanistan with the withdrawal of 34,000 troops. The decision is expected to affect the military ammunition market especially the small caliber ammunition market as these are the types of ammunition mostly used for the combat mission in Afghanistan. The US has plans to leave between 6,000-20,000 troops until 2024 for support mission. The UK government also has plans to reduce its troop size in Afghanistan to 5,200 by the end of 2013 and to withdraw remaining soldiers by the end of 2014. Another major contributor for the Afghanistan combat mission, Germany has pulled out all of its troops in 2013. This, as support mission that includes counterterrorism mission and logistical and training support for Afghan forces will not require much of ammunition; the draw down plan is anticipated to negatively impact the market growth. Along with this, army personnel cuts announced by countries such as the US and the UK are also expected to cause a moderate growth of the military ammunition market. The US plans to cut its army personnel numbers from 535,000 to 380,000 by 2019 and the UK MoD plans reducing the number of army personnel from 102,000 to 82,000 by 2017.

Key Highlights

• The US DoD is making significant efforts to reduce the weight carried by the soldiers in the battlefield. One such initiative is the Lightweight Small Arms Technologies (LSAT) development program, through which the US DoD aims to provide lightweight weapons and ammunition to its forces. The infantry soldiers carry a range of equipment including arms and ammunition in the battlefield, which are very heavy to carry for long durations and thus affect the soldiers' fighting capabilities. Therefore, this program intends to equip the soldiers with light-weight machine guns which fire specially designed ammunition, which is also significantly lighter in weight that the conventional small caliber ammunition.The new advanced light machine gun is designed to utilize 5.56mm ammo designed by the AAI Corporation, which is a part of Textron Systems in cooperation with the US DoD. This new ammunition is called telescoped ammunition and does not consist of the conventional brass cartridge, due to which the weight of the ammunition is significantly decreased by approximately 40% compared to the traditional 5.56 ammunition. The new ammunition uses solid propellant that does not need casing and is directly fed into the weapon. These bullets are also shorter and use lesser volumes, which enable the soldiers to carry more ammunition and less weight. Recently, the US DoD also awarded a contract to improve the lightweight 5.56 ammunition and apply the same technology in the 7.62mm ammunition as well. It is expected that these technological advancements will reduce approximately 25 pounds (lbs) from a typical M249 Squad Automatic Weapon gunner. Therefore, these lightweight ammunitions are expected to be adopted by various militaries during the forecast period.
• Warfare techniques have undergone significant changes during the past decade owing to the rise in guerilla warfare, counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations in various countries. Therefore, with an increase in the instances of asymmetric warfare by terrorists, insurgents and rebel forces, the military forces are finding newer ways to neutralize the enemy with newer ammunition. Precision munitions are one such weapon of choice for the militaries fighting in environments such as Iraq and Afghanistan, which need greater accuracy in attacks. The various types of precision munitions include Excalibur, XM395 precision mortar and Guided Multiple Launched Rocket System (GMLRS) ammunition among others. The factors that are expected to bolster the spending on precision munitions are significantly decreasing costs, wide range of options to choose from and the rising familiarity with these weapons among the militaries of numerous countries. The ammunition manufacturers such as Alliant Techsystems (ATK) have developed course correcting fuses, which can convert conventional rounds into guided bombs. These are relatively cheaper than the advanced precision munitions such as Raytheon's Excalibur Block 1b. Furthermore, the unit costs of these munitions have also decreased significantly during the last three to four years. For example, Raytheon's Excalibur 1a projectile unit had cost around US$87,000 in 2010, whereas the cost of the Excalibur 1b projectile in 2012 was US$45,000. This steep reduction in prices can be attributed to the economies of scale due to the rapidly increasing orders for these weapons.
