The global automotive glass market size is expected to reach
a market size of USD 28.93 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand
View Research, Inc. Rapidly changing consumer demand has led to numerous
advancements in the technology used in manufacturing. Increasing demand for
sunroof over the past years has led to increase in utilization of the product.
The consumers’ high focus towards
luxury is expected to propel innovation in vehicles. The automotive
manufacturers now offer either built-in or optional sunroof systems, especially
in mid and premium car segments. Value-added features and functions including
electrically-switchable smart glass, water-repellant glass, and head-up display
(HUD) have been developed in order to improve the energy efficiency and driving
comfort & safety of the vehicles.
The high price of laminated glass
coupled with high cost associated with the manufacturing of the product is
likely to restrain the entry of new market players, thereby posing a
significant challenge for the market over the forecast period. The majority of
the manufacturers setup a float glass manufacturing facility near the
production facility in order to ensure proper and timely supply of raw
material. This increases the establishment cost for the manufacturers.
