Latest News- Automotive Glass Market: Windscreen is expected to lead the Application segment during 2025-2029

The Automotive Glass Market is being driven by Increased demand for premium vehicles and sunroofs

The Automotive Glass Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.3% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 4218.4 million. In the automotive industry, solar reflective glass is gaining significant traction over conventional glass due to its numerous benefits. This advanced glass technology absorbs infrared rays, thereby reducing the amount of heat that enters vehicles, ensuring greater comfort for passengers. Additionally, it minimizes the impact of ultraviolet radiation on interior trims, preserving their condition. From an aesthetic standpoint, solar reflective glass enhances a vehicle's appearance, catering to consumer preferences. Notable manufacturers like Pilkington, a subsidiary of Nippon Sheet Glass, produce optimized solar-absorbing glass products such as Optikool and EZ-KOOL. These glass offerings deliver a 20% reduction in solar energy penetration compared to standard tinted glass, maintaining a cooler cabin temperature.
