Automotive Glazing Market Dynamics and Trends

Demand for sunroofs, rising global automotive sales, the need for fuel-efficient cars, technological advancements in automobile design, and regulations on carbon emissions of vehicles are the major factors driving the global automotive glazing market.

Rising global automotive sales is a primary driver attributing to the growing demand for automotive glazing products. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), 96.8 million vehicles were sold globally in 2017 compared to 93.9 million and 89.7 million in 2016 and 2015 witnessing a growth rate of 3.08% in 2017 and 4.6% in 2016 respectively. The increasing growth sales of the global automotive industry are anticipated to dominate the global glazing market.  Moreover, essential countries of the world imposing stringent norms on automobile emissions is one of the major driving factors of this market. According to the Euro 5b tier, which was approved in September 2011 by the European emission standards, the permissible levels of NOx emissions for diesel vehicles were 0.180 g/kg, and particulate matter was 0.005 g/kg. Due to increasing levels of environmental pollution, it has recently launched the Euro 6d mandate which will be approved in January 2020. According to the Euro 6d emission mandates, the allowable limit for NOx emissions is 0.080g/kg and particulate matter emissions are 0.0045 g/kg. The regulations imposed upon reducing the carbon emissions of the vehicle are an essential factor propelling the growth of the global automotive glazing market.

However, the high costs of research and development of enhanced engineered materials and stringent regulations of materials used in automotive glazing are the crucial factors responsible for impeding the growth of the global automotive glazing market.

Automotive Glazing Market Segmentation Analysis

The Global Automotive Glazing Market has been segmented by vehicle type, material type, application, and geography. 

Based on the vehicle type, the market is segmented as – Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV), Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCV), and Passenger Vehicles. The passenger vehicles segment is the dominant segment of the global automotive glazing market owing to the increasing demand for passenger vehicles globally and consumers preferring fuel-efficient cars. According to the Association of Motor Vehicles Manufacturers (OICA), 70.8 million passenger cars were sold in 2017 compared to 69.5 million in 2016 and 66.3 million passenger cars in 2015. Owing to the increasing global consumption of oil and natural gas, consumers are shifting their buying patterns towards purchasing fuel-efficient vehicles. The global oil production as per the global energy statistical yearbook in 2005 was about 88721 thousand barrels per day and reached 92649 thousand barrels in 2017 with a 0.7% annual growth rate. Rising oil prices coupled with emission norms are the major factors responsible for the passenger vehicles segment dominating the global automotive glazing market.

Based on the Application, the market is segmented as Sun Roof, Front Windshield, Rear Windshield, delete and backlight. The sideline is the domain segment of the global automotive glazing market owing to the weight reduction factor of the vehicle. According to a research article published by the Society of Automotive Engineers, using laminated glass on the side windows of the car reduces weight without compromising mechanical strength, passenger safety, and passenger comfort. Owing to these reasons, the sideline segment is expected to dominate the global automotive glazing market in the future.

Automotive Glazing Market Geographical Share

The Global Automotive Glazing Market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East and Africa.

The Asia Pacific region is further segmented into the following areas as India, Japan, South Korea, China, Australia, and others. The Asia Pacific region is the dominant segment in the automotive glazing market owing to the rising automobile market in countries like China, India, and Japan. Increasing per capita income in India, China, and South Korea and an increase in preference for fuel-efficient cars are the major contributing factors for the Asia Pacific region to dominate the global automotive glazing market.

According to OICA, out of the 96.8 million vehicles sold globally, more than 48 million cars were sold in the Asia Pacific region with China alone accounting for more than 29 million car sales followed by 5.2 million in Japan and 4 million in India. The number of cars sold in the Asia Pacific region in 2016 was 4.69 million compared to 4.34 million in 2015. Moreover, according to the statistics by the World Bank, the time taken for China's GDP per capita to double was only 10.84 years, followed by the Korea Republic with 11.7 years. Owing to these reasons, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to dominate the global automotive glazing market in the future.
