Global Antibacterial Glass Market to Grow at 6.3% CAGR between 2012 and 2018

A recent study by Transparency Market Research (TMR) forecasts that the global antibacterial glass market will grow at a CAGR of 6.3% between the years 2012 to 2018. TMR, a market intelligence firm based in the United States, in its report says that the antibacterial glass market which was valued at US$120 million will report a market value worth US$183.3 million by 2018. The report is titled ‘Antibacterial Glass Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2018’.

This market research report states that the global antibacterial glass market is primarily driven by rising demand for health-improving equipment and devices, and technological developments. Antibacterial glass refers to glass that is characterized by fungicidal and bactericidal properties. Antibacterial glass is manufactured in a way that ensures the elimination of bacteria deposition on its surface, and also prevents the growth of fungi. Coating and Infusion are the two main processes that are used for manufacturing antibacterial glass. Silver is the most commonly used material in antibacterial glass, however other active ingredients like zinc and copper can also be used for producing the same. Antibacterial glass is generally used in highly sterile environments like in hotels, hospitals, bathrooms, and others.

According to the TMR report, the global antibacterial glass market is segmented on the basis of the active ingredients used, application, and geography. Based on active ingredients, the antibacterial glass market is segmented into silver, zinc, titanium, and copper amongst others. The various application segments in this market are household, hospitals, military, food and beverages, and others. The healthcare sector is by far the most profitable end-user in the overall antibacterial glass market.

The global antibacterial glass market also comprises antibacterial infused glass and antibacterial/antimicrobial coated glass. Glass that is coated with antimicrobial substances like titanium, zinc, and copper for ensuring antibacterial properties is known as antibacterial/antimicrobial coated glass. Whereas, glass, that is infused with antibacterial component like silver for creating a germ free environment is known as antibacterial infused glass.


Geographically, the global antibacterial glass market is classified into North America, the Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World. The global antibacterial glass market is led by Europe. It is also expected that this region will dominate the global antibacterial glass market in the forthcoming years as well, owing to widespread acceptance of antibacterial glass along with the presence of prominent companies like AGC Glass Europe in this region. Between the years 2012 and 2018, the European antibacterial glass market will grow at 7% CAGR, which is higher than the overall average CAGR of 6.3%.

In the application segment, highest market share is held by hospitals. In the active ingredients segment, silver has the highest share in the overall antibacterial glass market. Most of the key players in the market are not engaged in the manufacturing process, instead they have distribution networks.

The prominent players operating in the global antibacterial glass market are Glas Trösch Holding AG, VBT Glass, Saint-Gobain SA, Nippon Sheet Glass Company Limited, Ishizuka Glass Company Limited, Essex Safety Glass Ltd., BÜFA Glas GmbH & Co. KG, Beijing JiYan-Tech Co. Ltd, and AGC Glass Europe.

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
