Europe Automotive Glass Market

Market Overview:

The Europe automotive glass market size reached US$ 14.7 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 19.0 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5% during 2023-2028.

Automotive glass is commonly used to produce windshields and windows of vehicles. It is water-resistant and assists in preventing the car from dirt, dust, wind and ultraviolet (UV) rays. Consequently, it finds extensive applications in the automotive industry in Europe.

The rising sales of automobiles represent one of the significant factors driving the automotive glass market in Europe. Moreover, the European Commission has proposed stringent regulations for reducing carbon emissions. This has resulted in the emergence of lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles, which is escalating the demand for high-grade automotive glass in the region. Apart from this, the increasing popularity of autonomous and hybrid vehicles, along with the emerging electric automobile glass, which is equipped with cameras and sensors, is propelling the market growth. Furthermore, leading manufacturers are focusing on the introduction of colored coatings, deterring smash-and-dash burglary, protection against glare, providing acoustic comfort and safeguarding the passengers from ejection in a collision. However, the sudden outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the lockdown restrictions imposed in various parts have disrupted the production of automotive glass in Europe. The market will experience growth once lockdown restrictions are uplifted.
