[Usa] Smart Glass Set For Boom

Smart glass production could become a US$ 700M area of the flat glass market by 2020, a new report states. As a result of new production capacity entering the market within the year, Pike Research suggests that production costs will go down, allowing the sector to grow to eight times more than it is worth today. North America and Europe are expected to take the lead in the growth, but researchers also see potential for growth in China, where a building boom is now underway. As more people start to adopt green building standards, industry will look to smart glass to address these needs.
