Asia Oceania is estimated to be the largest automotive glass market and is also projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2017 to 2025. This growth can be due to the rising GDP, increasing per capita income, and growing demand for passenger vehicles especially for compact SUVs in this region. Additionally, shifting consumer preference for SUV especially in countries such as India and China are driving the automotive glass market. The average volume of glass required in SUV is significantly more than that in sedans and other passenger cars. Saint-Gobain has expanded its facility in Chennai, India, with an investment of USD 300 million to develop high-end glass for the automotive market. Asahi Glass has also expanded its facility in Indonesia to manufacture float glass for the automotive industry. These expansions help the companies to increase their market share in the growing automotive glass market in the region.

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.
