Automotive Windshield Market Size, Share, Growth Analysis, By Vehicle Type(Passenger Cars (PC), Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV), and Heavy Commercial Vehicle (HCV)), By Electric Vehicle Type(Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), and Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)), By Position(Front Windshield, Rear Windshield), By Material Type(Thermoset Material, and Thermoplastic Material), By Glass Type(Laminated Glass, and Tempered Glass), By Region - Industry Forecast 2024-2031

Global Automotive Windshield Market size was valued at USD 19.41 billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 20.63 billion in 2023 to USD 33.58 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.28% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

The windshield is attached to the vehicle structure using a polyurethane coating. The primary use of windshields is to protect the driver and passengers by preventing wind, sunlight, dust, dirt and other foreign matter from entering the vehicle and to reduce the risk of injury through safety glasses resisting any breakage after an accidental impact.

The global automotive windshield market is segmented by position, electric vehicle, vehicle type, glass type, product type, and geography. Laminated glass will account for the largest market share during the forecast period. Increasing use of laminated glass for protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays will fuel the growth of the global automotive windshield market.

The increasing use of windshields for cutting-edge display technology is occurring throughout the global automotive windshield market. However, the high cost of smart windshields will restrain the market growth. After North America, APAC is going to emerge as one of the highest growth regions during the forecast period. Increasing number of vehicles, use of automotive sunglasses, and safety glass, such as laminated and tempered glass as compared to other industries, will drive the global automotive windshield market in the APAC region.
