Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ggngdm/antibacterial) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the International Antibacterial Glass Market - Trends and Forecast to 2018" report to their offering.

Technological advancements and the ready acceptance of health-improving devices are expected to be the key contributors for increasing demand for antimicrobial coatings. Additionally, the healthcare industry is a highly lucrative end-use industry for antimicrobial coatings. For the purpose of this study, antibacterial glass is considered to include antimicrobial/antibacterial coated glass as well as antibacterial infused glass. The report analyzes and estimates the antibacterial glass market on a global level in terms of revenue (USD Million) from 2012 to 2018. It analyzes the various factors that drive and restrain industry growth, along with their expected impact over the forecast period.

Traditional techniques of decontamination such as washing hands at periodic intervals are insufficient in a healthcare setting. Antibacterial glass provides an effective solution against bacteria such as MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus), which is resistant to certain antibiotics. In addition, the market for antimicrobial coatings on medical devices is expected to witness growth over the forecast period, thus propelling the demand for antibacterial glass. However, consumer awareness regarding the role of antibacterial glass in minimizing infections is low, especially in developing nations.
