Australia Automotive Glass for Windshield Market Trends:

Rising vehicle sales

Increasing vehicle sales are fueling the market growth. As per industry reports, 1,237,287 new cars were sold in Australia in 2024, marking a 1.7% rise from 2023’s record figure. As new vehicles are entering the market, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) need to install durable and technologically advanced windshield glass. This steady increase in vehicle sales is driving the demand for both factory-installed and aftermarket windshield solutions. Newer vehicle models often come equipped with features, such as rain sensors, ultraviolet (UV) protection, noise reduction, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), which require specialized windshield glass. This is encouraging manufacturers and suppliers to produce more complex and feature-rich glass to meet industry standards. Over time, these vehicles also enter the replacement cycle due to accidents, damage, or wear and tear, further contributing to the aftermarket demand. The growing fleet size is increasing the likelihood of repairs and replacements, supporting the market growth. Additionally, rising user expectations for safety and comfort are motivating automakers and service centers to invest in better-quality glass solutions. Dealerships and automotive service providers benefit, as they offer installation and maintenance services for windshields, making them key players in the expanding market in the country.

Rising insurance coverage

Increasing insurance coverage is impelling the Australia automotive glass for windshield market growth. With more comprehensive insurance plans including windshield coverage, drivers are more likely to address minor damages, such as chips and cracks, without hesitation. This is leading to higher service volumes at repair centers and a consistent demand for both original and aftermarket windshield glass. Insurance companies are collaborating with certified workshops, ensuring quick and high-quality service, which improves customer satisfaction and trust. These arrangements streamline the repair process, encouraging timely maintenance and enhancing road safety. As awareness about insurance benefits is increasing, more vehicle owners are choosing plans that cover glass damage. Additionally, insurers may offer incentives or reduced premiums for using preferred service providers, adding value to the customer experience. Rising disposable incomes also allow people to opt for better insurance coverage and premium auto glass features like UV protection and noise reduction. As per the CEIC, the gross disposable income data for Australia was recorded at 695,764.000 Million AUD in December 2024. This marked an increase from the earlier figure of 663,997.000 AUD Million for September 2024.
