Market Overview:
The global car windshield market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, and rising awareness about safety features in vehicles. In terms of type, the thermoplastic material segment is expected to dominate the global car windshield market during the forecast period, owing to its properties such as high impact resistance and low weight. In terms of application, the passenger car segment is expected to account for a major share of the global car windshield market during 2018-2030. This can be attributed to factors such as increasing demand for luxury cars and rising disposable income in developing countries.
Product Definition:
The windshield of a car is the front window that allows the driver to see out. It is typically made of glass, but may also be made from plastic.
Thermoplastic Material:
Thermoplastic material is a type of plastic that can be molded into various shapes and has high resistance to heat, light, and chemicals. Thermoplastics such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS) are widely used in the automotive industry for manufacturing car windshields. The increasing demand for lightweight vehicles with superior safety features is expected to drive the growth of thermoplastic material over the forecast period.
Thermoset Material:
Thermoset or thermosetting is a type of material that undergoes an irreversible change when heated. The transformation can be triggered by heating above the melting point, but most commonly it is done at temperatures below 100°C (210 °F). Thermoset materials are often used in windshields and other auto parts as they do not get easily damaged or break down with exposure to heat and sunlight. They also provide better strength to the part than thermoplastics do.
Application Insights:
Passenger car windshield dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to rising demand from countries such as India, China and Brazil. In addition, increasing production of passenger cars in North America and Europe is also likely to fuel the product demand over the forecast period.
The light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2017 owing to growing LCV sales particularly across emerging markets such as India, China and Brazil on account of their rapidly expanding industrial sectors along with a rise in disposable income among consumers there which has resulted into increased LCV sales globally since 2016. In addition, increasing penetration of LCVs for business purposes by companies operating within logistics & transportation industry especially across developing regions will further boost product demand over the projected period driving this application segment growth during 2018-2030 span.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period owing to increasing demand for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Increasing use of electric vehicles, growing adoption of alternative fuel vehicles is also anticipated to propel industry growth over the coming years.
Europe accounted for a significant share in terms of revenue as well as volume in 2017 on account of high penetration rates for EV and hybrid electric vehicle technologies across major countries such as Germany, France, Italy and U.K., among others.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for vehicles: The global automobile production is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. This is anticipated to boost the growth of the car windshield market over the forecast period.
- Technological advancements: The introduction of new technologies in windshield manufacturing is projected to fuel the growth of this market in coming years. These technologies are aimed at improving safety and durability features of car windshields, which is likely to increase their adoption among consumers worldwide.
- Stringent safety norms: Stringent safety norms by regulatory authorities across different countries are promoting the use of advanced car windshields that offer enhanced protection against accidents and injuries. This is expected to propel market growth during the forecast period.
