The automotive industry, one of the key contributors to the overall GDP of the world, is growing significantly over the years. As the demand for vehicles is growing, the demand for automotive components is also increasing significantly. Also, new vehicle model launches and increasing demand for premium and luxury segment cars have increased the demand for exterior components such as a windshield. The automotive windshield provides an efficient aerodynamic design, clear visibility, and protection from debris, unwanted particles, ultraviolet (UV) rays, and harmful radiation. A key innovation in the field of the automotive windshield is the smart windshield. Ongoing R&D in the field of smart windshield technology has prompted investments by private players as well as various governments. Due to their advantages, smart windshield technologies such as Head-Up Displays (HUDs) and augmented reality are now used in diverse applications. The market for the smart windshield is therefore expected to witness growth.
The global Automotive Windshield Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.28% from 2017 to 2025, to reach USD 23.24 billion by 2025.
