Windshield Market: By Position (Front and Rear), By Glass Type (Tempered and Laminated), By Vehicle Type (Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV), Heavy Commercial Vehicle (HCV), Passenger Cars, and Others), By End Market (Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Aftermarket), and Geography

Windshield Market size was valued at USD x million in 2022 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2023 to 2029.  Windscreens are used in cars to hide the driver and passengers from the elements, including the wind, sunlight, dust, pollution, and other foreign objects that might penetrate the car's interior. All types of automobiles, including passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, buses, and large trucks, have windscreens. The vehicle structure is supported by the windscreens, which are fastened to the structure with polyurethane adhesives. The market for automobile windscreens is expected to be driven by the adoption of HUD technology and increased vehicle production. The introduction of gorilla glass to the automotive sector is also projected to increase demand for glass-based car windscreens.  Additionally, factors like a technical advancement, a significant increase in the sales of passenger automobiles, and glass vehicle windscreens' improved resistance to chemicals, heat, and water would constrain the market for automotive windscreens. Additionally, there will be favourable growth prospects when new battery and display technologies are adopted, solar-reflective windscreens are used more frequently, and untapped potential in emerging countries is realised. However, obstacles including raw material price fluctuations and the expensive smart windscreen are hindering market progress. An accident could happen as a result of inaccurate installation leading to malfunction and driver misinformation. The expansion of the vehicle windscreen market will be severely hampered by this.
