According to Nitesh, Research Manager, 6Wresearch, the laminated glass segment is experiencing significant growth in Australia's automotive glass market, driven by its superior strength and safety features. Laminated glass, composed of layers bonded together with a plastic interlayer, notably polyvinyl butyral (PVB), offers robust protection against impact and minimizes the risk of shattering upon collision, particularly favored for windshields.
The Windshield segment is witnessing significant growth in Australia's automotive glass market, attributed to the increasing popularity of SUVs and light trucks. These vehicles, characterized by larger windshields and windows compared to traditional sedans, necessitate stronger and more durable glass materials such as laminated and tempered glass.
The Passenger car segment is dominating the Australia Automotive Glass Market share, propelled by the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). As EVs gain traction, there is a rising demand for specialized glass materials that offer enhanced energy efficiency and reduced weight. This has led to a surge in the utilization of laminated and tempered glass for EV windshields, windows, and mirrors.
