Global Automotive Windscreen Glazing Market Definition

Glazing for automotive is the process of strengthening the glass used in automotive by very fast blast cooling. The speed of cooling can range from 600 to 300° C in a few seconds. Glazing is the process of manufacturing laminated glass for use in automotive. The growth of the glazing for automotive market is expected to be driven by the increase in demand for fulfilling consumer needs of safety, comfort and security while driving the automotive. The booming automotive sector is expected to directly impact the market of glazing for automotive. Glazing for automotive offers high performance and superior appearance to automotive consumers. It also ensures security of customers along with stylish looks. The ability of glazing for automotive to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions and the weight of the automotive also contributes to the growth of the market. New trends in the manufacturing of automobiles have also contributed to the growth of the market.

Generally, there are two types of glass used in windscreen manufacturingLaminated glass and Tempered glass. Laminated glass is made by sandwiching a plastic layer between two sheets of glass. The interlayer keeps both the glasses bonded in case of an impact and prevents the glass from breaking into large sharp pieces. Laminated glass enhances the safety of passengers in vehicles during accidents by preventing the sharp pieces of glass from being propelled inside the vehicle. Furthermore, the interlayer also adds sound dampening, coloring, ultraviolet filtering, and other technologies. Tempered glass is mostly used in window and rear windshield, as it is stronger than float glass and designed to disperse into small pieces of glass in the case of an impact. The primary functions of the windscreen are to keep the wind and other debris out of drivers face, provide insulation, and preserves the structural integrity of the cabin by supporting the roof.

Global Automotive Windscreen Glazing Market Overview

The demand for windscreen glazing materials has seen an upsurge over the past years owing to increased demand from automotive industry. Technological advancements such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, robotics among others along with innovation of electric vehicles is propelling the growth of automotive industry growth worldwide. Asia Pacific with share of approximately 55% is major automobile producing region across the globe. With presence of some of the top key producing countries including China, Japan, South Korea and India, the region is slated to exhibit its dominance over the forecast period. Apart from Asia Pacific, Europe is also showing a strong growth in automotive production, Countries such as Germany, the UK and France have witnessed a strong demand for automobiles in the recent past.

The glass industry is always focused on the development of products to improve road safety and to guarantee the security passengers in the vehicle. Automotive glass manufacturers ensure that the glass produced for the windscreens endures the strength required to resist different weather conditions. Solar control glazing is a new concept that focuses on the reduction of vehicle’s energy needs. This type of glass is specially designed and engineered to reduce vehicle cabin temperature by up to 7 or 8°C. It is achieved by reducing the heat penetration in vehicles when exposed to solar radiation. Hence, saving a significant amount of energy used for powering air-conditioning units. The reduction in the cabin temperature with the use of solar control glazing results in low usage of air-conditioning units. Technological advancements in the automotive industry have enabled automotive glass manufacturers to achieve maximum productivity. This, in turn, has inspired manufacturers from the globe to engage in extensive R&D activities, which is likely to support the growth of the automotive glass market.

Global Automotive Windscreen Glazing MarketSegmentation Analysis
