Market Overview:
The global vehicle glazing 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 vehicles and rising awareness about safety features in vehicles. The market is segmented by type, application, and region. By type, the market is segmented into laminated glass, tempered glass, and polycarbonate. Laminated glass held a major share of the global vehicle glazing market in 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. This growth can be attributed to its properties such as high impact resistance and shatter-proofing which make it ideal for use in windshields and other applications such as sidelites and rear windshields.
Product Definition:
Window glazing is the material used in automotive and other vehicular windows to keep glass in place, provide transparency, and resist shattering. It also helps to insulate the vehicle's occupants from wind noise and extremes of temperature.
Laminated Glass:
Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that consists of two or more layers of different glasses, laminated between them is a layer of spacer material. The primary function of the glass is to protect passengers from injuries in case the vehicle were to hit an obstacle.
The market for laminated glass in vehicle glazing has been growing at a steady pace.
Tempered Glass:
Tempered glass is a type of specialized glass that has been treated to increase its strength. The treatment process involves thermal processes that create stresses in the glass which are then reduced by cooling. The result is a product with high impact resistance and low breakage, unlike annealed glass which has no internal structure in order to withstand high temperatures without breaking.
The global tempered glazing market size was valued at USD 2,15 billion in 2016.
Application Insights:
The front windshield was the largest application segment and accounted for a revenue share of over 60% in 2017. The increasing number of road accidents has resulted in an increased demand for glass, which is used in the front windshields of vehicles. Moreover, rising awareness regarding safety concerns among consumers is expected to propel growth over the forecast period.
Rising demand for electric vehicles across various regions coupled with high manufacturing costs has compelled manufacturers to adopt cost-efficient production technologies such as mass production of tempered glass products for use in rear windshields and sunroofs. This will result into significant savings on vehicle manufacturing costs along with energy consumption due to reduced usage of glazing materials inside the car cabin areas. These factors are anticipated to drive market growth over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
North America accounted for the largest share of over 35.0% in 2017 owing to stringent regulations by the U.S. government regarding road safety and Laminated Glasses (LGS) being a better alternative to tempered glass for front and side windows, sunroofs are used more frequently in this region as compared to other regions due to high demand from customers driving cars manufactured before 2018.
Asia Pacific is expected to be one of the fastest growing regions with a CAGR exceeding 6% during the forecast period on account of increasing automobile production especially in China, India, Japan and South Korea which is anticipated would drive product demand over next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for vehicles: The global vehicle 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 vehicle glazing market over the forecast period.
- Technological advancements: The introduction of new technologies in automotive glazing such as self-healing coatings and smart glass is projected to fuel the growth of this market in future years. These technologies offer various benefits such as scratch resistance, UV protection, and energy efficiency which are likely to increase their adoption among consumers worldwide.
- Rising disposable income: A rise in disposable income has led to an increase in consumer spending on luxury items including automobiles with advanced features such as better safety and security systems including vehicle glazing products/systems . This is anticipated to propel market growth during the forecast period..
