Glen Allen, VA (PRWEB) February 27, 2014

Glen Allen, VA: Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets has published a new report, Smart Glass Opportunities in the Automotive Industry 2014 covering the market for smart glass in the automotive sector. In this report the NanoMarkets says it expects this market to reach $2.1 billion by 2019, compared with $1.0 billion in 2014.

Smart glass sales for cars, trucks and public transport are currently dominated by electrochromic mirrors; a relatively mature business. However, the report predicts new revenue opportunities emerging for smart auto glass from active self-dimming windows, self-cleaning glass and self-repairing glass and especially from glass embedded with electronic and photovoltaic capability. Electrochromic mirrors account for 90 percent of smart auto glass revenues today, but this percentage will have dropped to 67 percent by 2019.

Key factors promoting the use of smart automotive glass include enhanced energy efficiency, safety, comfort and style. These factors are not new to the auto industry but ongoing technology improvements allow smart glass firms to better create value with their products.

For more information on the report see: goo.gl/KLh5Rr

About the report:

In the report, NanoMarkets analyzes opportunities available for the following categories of smart auto glass: self-tinting glass (electrochromic, photochromic, thermochromic and SPD), smart privacy glass, smart mirrors, self-cleaning glass, self-healing glass, device- embedded glass and retrofit window film. Addressable markets discussed include cars, trucks and various forms of public transportation.

The report includes eight-year forecasts of smart auto glass markets in volume (square meters) and value ($ million) terms. It also discusses adoption strategies for smart glass by major automobile/truck companies and the smart auto glass strategies of leading suppliers.

Firms covered in the report include: 3M, American Glass, Apple, ASG, Audi, AutoGlass, Balcony Systems, BASF, Bayer, BMW, Cardinal, Carlex, Chameleon Photochromic Smart Film, ChromoGenics, Corning, Dow Chemical, DuPont, Eastman Chemical/Solutia, GE, Gentex, Guardian, Hitachi, Hypho Technology, International Trading, Mercedes, NDFOS, NeoView Kolon, Nissan, NSG/Pilkington, Pleotint, PPG, Ravenbrick, Research Frontiers, Saint-Gobain, Samsung, Sage, Scienstry, Southwall, Solvay, Suntek, Toray, Transition Window Tint, SWITCH Materials, US e-Chromics, and View.

NanoMarkets Report Projects Smart Glass Sales to the Automotive Sector to Reach $2.1 Billion by 2019

One of the most useful proverbs that I learned in my journalism classes was tell a friend. Its an adage that can apply to any kind of storytelling fiction or nonfiction but it was especially helpful to me when I was starting out as a small-town newspaper reporter. Overworked, overtired and overcaffeinated (but underpaid, of course), tell a friend was a life preserver for me in my most desperate moments of deadline-induced writers block.

The idea is simple (keep it simple, stupid theres another useful maxim): If youre having a hard time writing the story, write it in the same way that you would tell a friend. If you want to picture yourself telling a friend while enjoying a cold, frothy beverage, go right ahead (thats what I like to do).

I bring this up because Im struggling to articulate my feelings about a recent story that I wrote, so I thought it would be interesting to use the tell a friend method for the purposes of this blog post.

If I were at a bar, trying to explain this story to a friend, I might say something like this:

"There was this factory in California. Its not around anymore, because it blew up.

Anyway, the corporation was pressuring the guys at the plant to do plastic extrusion thats where you melt plastic to form it into stuff. But this was a new operation. So the plant guys had to set up the plant for plastic extrusion and install the equipment to do plastic extrusion. Are you with me so far?

This is the crazy part: To do plastic extrusion in a factory, you need an industrial-grade boiler, right? I mean, everything in a factory should be industrial-grade, but that goes without saying. Well instead of using an industrial-grade boiler, the guys at the plant decided to buy a Whirlpool water heater from Lowes! Just because it was a lot cheaper and easier to install. Can you believe that?

So the guys in the plant jury-rigged it and used it to melt plastic for their operation. They even removed all the safety features. But this Whirlpool was not designed to do the kind of stuff you do in a factory! It was a Whirlpool, for Gods sake!

Anyway, they had all kinds of problems with this thing. It was breaking down constantly. Keeping this thing working was practically a full-time job for the maintenance guys. The thing was always on the fritz, because it wasnt designed to do this stuff. Im surprised it lasted as long as it did.

So the water heater exploded and killed two guys who were trying to fix it. The thing blew through the roof like a rocket. It ****ed up the factory so bad that that the factory shut down for good.

Trying to Make Sense of a Senseless Workplace Tragedy

KOTA KINABALU: The Kota Kinabalu Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KKCCCI), in responding to the call by the Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK), has submitted a wide range of suggestions to transform KK City into an outstanding tourism destination.

Its president, Datuk Michael Lui, said yesterday that with careful and proper planning, the KK City could become a world class clean and safe city.

He said a KKCCCI working committee headed by Chin Shu Yin had suggested to the City Hall to incorporate three major plans for implementation under the 11th Malaysia Plam.

Firstly, to attract famous and outstanding universities to open their branch campuses in Kota Kinabalu and this would lure foreign students and create employment opportunities for the local people; secondly, to connect Gaya Island and KK City by cable cars as well as to turn Gaya Island into a renowned environmental friendly and pollution-free tourism destination and, thirdly, to open up walk-through streets in KK, (trading hours till midnight) to make certain streets haven for tourists for food and refreshments, night-shopping and entertainment outlets, said Lui in a statement yesterday.

He added that the DBKK also need to upgrade safety and security services for the tourists, upgrade the seafront facilities, providing walkways and cycling tracks.

Apart from upgrading the uneven walkways in the shop fronts, the broken slabs and the steps must be repaired, making the city friendly to the handicapped people and tourists alike, preventing accidental fall while pulling their luggage.

Likewise, the shop front sun shade must be installed at safe level height, and more notices with details showing position, distances, maps must be erected at scenic spots, including activated GPS to show exact location.

Owing to the increasing arrival of tourists from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, Lui said the KKCCCI reckoned that Chinese language must also be included in the notices for the convenience of the tourists.

Immigration officers at the airport terminals ideally must be conversant in Chinese, and likewise personnel at the strategic points manning the enquiry counters must also be conversant in Chinese.

Owing to the shortage of hotels, he noted that inbound tour companies are unable to accept booking for large group of inbound tourists. In view of this, more three-star and better hotels must be built to cope with the demand. Hence, a one-stop center for investment and development of hotels must be envisaged.
