Global Automotive Windshield Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global automotive windshield market size is expected to reach USD 20.18 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to reach USD 28.08 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.83% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2029.

Windshields are designed to support the vehicle structure, and they're attached to the vehicle structure by using polyurethane adhesives. Automotive windshields are manufactured by using laminated glass which resists any shattering and thus minimizes the danger of serious injuries. In automotive, laminated glasses are often used in the production of these windshields. In automobiles, windshields protect the driving force and passengers from aspects like sunlight, dust, wind, pollution, and other foreign particles entering the vehicle. Safety glass is manufactured by infusing two glass pieces with a transparent layer of materials like polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) among others under heat and high, which it holds the glass not to get shattered.

The global automotive windshield market has witnessed considerable growth within the global market and it's been observed that its demand in the future is predicted to grow during the forecast period. The global automotive windshield market is predicted to be very broad in the future. Also, the expansion has received momentum thanks to the drastic rise in sales of passenger cars, and technological innovations. this is often thanks to several driving trends like the growing need for passenger vehicles, the mounting urban population, expanding environmental concerns, and the rising income of the bourgeoisie population. The market has mostly been taking advantage of the changing paradigms in government regulations and end-users' perspectives toward enhanced safety in automobiles.

MARKET DRIVERS

The global automotive windshield market is primarily driven by the rise in vehicle production, sales, and vehicle parts. The windshield marketplace for automotive is directly associated with the worldwide production of vehicles, as every vehicle is required to be equipped with a windshield. The rising manufacturing of vehicles is anticipated to drive the windshield marketplace for automobiles during the outlook period. Demand for automotive windshields is additionally prominent within the aftermarket. The aftermarket for automotive windshields is predicated on the breakage of the windscreen thanks to accidents, improper maintenance, etc. Currently, special-purpose windshields, like bullet-resistant windshields, also are utilized to supply additional safety and security to the occupants of the vehicle.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Restraint identified within the global automotive windshield market is the high cost of smart windshields. The automotive industry is slowly adopting newer technologies because the end-users are willing to pay a premium for enhanced comfort and luxury. Most end-users are still not conscious of the advantages of the smart windshield, making this high cost unjustified for them. The inflation of raw materials used for glass manufacturing, including a discount within the supply of fuel like washing soda and gas, is haunting glass manufacturers and ultimately windshield manufacturers. These price fluctuations are negatively influencing the automotive glass market. This factor may pose a challenge to the expansion of this market to some extent.
