The laminated glass market is projected to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period. Laminated glass in the windshield has a PVB layer that protects the passengers from broken glass pieces. It also offers clear visibility. Increased safety when compared with tempered glass and possible applications of laminated glass in sidelites (in addition to windshield) are the key reasons for the growth of laminated glass market. Side glazing trend started in Europe and now other key countries such as the US and Japan are also following the trend where vehicles are fitted with side laminated glazing. Laminated side glazing improves the safety of the passenger and driver. It also improves the NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness) conditions of the vehicles.
