Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2027435 | Category : Automotive parts and materials | Delivery Format: /

Automotive glass market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period.  Major factors projected to propel the growth of the automotive glass market include increased passenger safety concerns and the development of smart glass technologies to improve sunlight protection, comfort, and visibility. For instance, in September 2021, Gauzy partnered with LG Display to bring smart, dynamic, transparent displays to various types of vehicles. With this innovation, Gauzy showed how light control glass (LCG) tech is heading towards a new standard in advanced glazing that can benefit the automotive and transportation industry. Gauzy’s main goals are to make any window active and multifunctional and provide both visual and thermal comfort alongside communication, which can benefit the automotive and transportation industry.  

Segmental Outlook

The global automotive glass market is segmented based on glass type, application, and vehicle type. Based on glass type, the market is segmented into laminated glass, tempered glass, solar glass, and heated glass. Based on the application, the market is categorized into windshields, sidelites, backlites, and sunroofs. Further, based on the vehicle type, the market is segmented into passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, and electric vehicles. Among the glass type, the windshields segment witnessed considerable growth. Rising demand for windshields with bullet resistance, heating capability, anti-fog characteristics, and others is expected to drive the segment growth. 

The Heated Glass Segment Holds a Considerable Share in the Global Automotive Glass Market 

The heated glass segment is anticipated to hold a prominent share of the market during the forecast period owing to the rising installation of heating glass in the automotive sector. Heated glass is glass that is heated electronically, and it has long been used in vehicles. It is most commonly used in rear windows and is mainly used for convenience, improving visibility, and making driving safer. In addition, the companies such as Motherson, Nippon Sheet Glass Co., Ltd., AGC and others operating in the market are offering heated glass that reduces heat in summer and cold in winter. For instance, in March 2022, AGC developed a light-control panoramic roof with low-E coating for a Toyota group model.?AGC has developed a light-control panoramic roof with low-E coating for a Toyota group model launching later this year. The special coating technology developed by AGC recently for automotive glass has cleared the reliability evaluation required and also achieved unprecedented solar control and heat insulation performance, thereby greatly reducing heat in summer and cold in winter, and the light control instantly control the transmitted light and adjust the light environment inside the cabin.

Regional Outlooks

The global automotive glass market is further segmented based on geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa and Latin America). Asia-Pacific is anticipated to exhibit considerable growth in the global automotive glass market. The factor that contributed to the market growth include increasing number of vehicle production, use of solar reflective glasses in vehicles, use of safety glasses, such as laminated and tempered glass. 

Global Automotive Glass Market Growth, by Region 2023-2030

global automotive glass market growth, by region

North America Region held Considerable Share in the Global Automotive Glass Market 

The increasing sales of vehicles, rising demand for aftermarket windshields, and rising number of product launches are anticipated to drive market growth in the region. In 2021, the total production of passenger vehicles, and commercial vehicles in the US was 9157 thousand units, and total domestic sales of passenger vehicles, and commercial vehicles were 11,831 thousand units, according to the US Department of Transportation. Moreover, the rising adoption of smart and advanced glass technology is another factor that boosts the market growth. For instance, in June 2020, Fuyao Glass Industry Group Co. Ltd. and Harxon Corporation established a partnership to develop an advanced smart conformal antenna with automotive glass. By combining the automotive glass and the antennas into one package, automakers capture the immediate benefits of cost reduction, reduced installation complexity, and improved reliability.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global automotive glass market include Gentex Corp., Guardian Industries Holdings Site, Magna International Inc., Motherson and among others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in May 2022, NSG Group announced to integrate of the Automotive glass business in China with SYP Kangqiao Autoglass Co., Ltd. ("SYP Automotive"). The integration into SYP Automotive strengthens its ability to meet the growing needs of vehicle manufacturers in China. As an active participant in the partnership, NSG helped SYP Automotive to enhance its ability to satisfy increasingly complex demands for glazing solutions, including meeting expectations from established global automakers looking to develop advanced glazing supply inside China.
