Windshield Market size was valued at US$ 25.35 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2024 to 2030.  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.

Windshield Market Key Developments

  • In June 2022Nano Magic, a well-known brand in cleaning products fuelled by nanotechnology, expanded its product line into the automotive sector with the introduction of Nano Magic Force Field Windshield Protection. This innovative windscreen treatment is simple to use and forms an imperceptible force field barrier that guards against precipitation, salt, bird bombs, etc. In the automotive industry, the treatment can be applied to any type of windscreen and provides a year's worth of protection.

Windshield Market Dynamics

The growth in vehicle production, sales, and vehicle parts is the key factor driving the worldwide automotive windscreen market. Since windscreens are a mandatory component of every vehicle, the market and worldwide car production are inextricably linked. In the next 10 years, it is projected that the market for car windscreens would rise due to rising vehicle production. Automobile windscreens are in high demand in the aftermarket as well. The automobile aftermarket for windscreens is based on the breakage of the windscreen as a result of mishaps, poor upkeep, etc. These days, additional protection, and security for the passengers of the car are also provided using special-purpose windscreens, such as bullet resistance windscreens.
