DUBLIN, June 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Automotive Glass Market by Type, Application, Material, ICE & EV, Aftermarket, and Region - Global Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The value of the automotive glass market projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.80% from 2017 to 2025, growing from USD 16.21 Billion in 2017 to reach a market size of USD 23.59 Billion by 2025.

Increasing vehicle production, especially the SUV segment, and increasing glass applications as well as average area per car are some of the key factors fueling the glass demand in the automotive industry. Additionally, safety regulations related to glass, demand for light weight glass, upcoming smart glass technologies that enhance visibility and provide protection from UV rays are few other factors influencing the demand of glass in the automotive industry.

Laminated glass is the fastest growing segment globally. Laminated glass has major application in the vehicle windshield. Laminated side glazing in automobiles is one of the most desired automotive technologies. Some European OEMs such as BMW and Mercedes have standardized side glazing in some of their top selling models. It provides enhanced safety to passengers in case the vehicle rolls over in an accident.

Sunroof is the largest and fastest growing smart glass application in the automotive smart glass market. It provides more control to the user to manage natural light in the vehicle. Smart glass technology in sunroof is being used by Daimler and Mercedes-Benz models such as SL, SLK series. Technological advancements, presence of interested industry players, and high demand of energy efficient products also play an important role in the growth of the market for sunroof made of smart glass.

Passenger Car is the largest and the fastest growing automotive glass aftermarket. Various factors such as stringent and regionally varying regulations, accident rates, technological advancements such as smart glass and demand for privacy glass will influence the demand of automotive glass aftermarket. The regional and local players also play an important role in the automotive glass aftermarket.

Rearview mirror is the largest segment of the device embedded automotive glass market. Rearview mirror is among the first applications of device embedded glass in passenger cars. It not only provides important information to the driver when parking the vehicle but also warns about any obstacle approaching the vehicle from behind. Technological advancements by Gentex (US) and Samvardhana Motherson (India) have ensured that device embedded rearview mirrors are available at economical price point.

Asia Oceania is estimated to be largest automotive glass market and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the improving socio-economic conditions in emerging countries such as China and India. China, Japan, and India are among the top five passenger vehicle manufacturers in the world.

Key factors restraining the growth of the automotive glass market include the high capital cost required to setup a glass plant, which restricts geographic expansions, and the use of polycarbonate glazing instead of glass in vehicles. The automotive glass market is dominated by a few global players and comprises several regional players.

Some of the key manufacturers operating in the market are Saint-Gobain (France), Asahi Glass (Japan), Fuyao Glass (China), Samvardhana Motherson (India), Webasto (Germany) and Nippon Sheet Glass (Japan).
