The unexpected shifts in the global markets because of the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 virus have brought many major and minor tremors to industries of all sizes including the Functional Glass Coatings Market for the Automotive Industry.
It was estimated prior to this unanticipated outbreak that the Functional Glass Coatings Market for the Automotive Industry was expected to reach an estimated value of US$ 399.5 million in 2024. However, the gradual slowing down of industries will undoubtedly impose limits on the previously estimated growth rate.
For a more detailed breakdown of the COVID-19 impact on the Functional Glass Coatings Market for the Automotive Industry, request a free sample of the report here:
There are a host of factors burgeoning the demand for functional coatings for automotive glass applications. The biggest driving factor among all is an organic growth of automobile production. Currently, the global automobile production has been at its peak with all four regions marking overall positive developments in the production of automobiles. China, India, Southeast Asia, and North Africa will fuel the growth of the automotive industry in the coming five years. It is very important for the functional coating manufacturers to realign themselves based on the shifting opportunities from the developed economies to the developing economies including China and India.
Another trend happening in the industry is an increased demand for autonomous vehicles and green vehicles. All the major automakers are putting efforts for the development of electric/hybrid vehicles as well as autonomous vehicles in order to quickly gain the market share in the industry. This trend is leaving a multi-edged impact on the functional coatings market as the industry is demanding greener functional coating materials to make the vehicle more environmentally friendly as well as a shifting paradigm of the industry with a focus on the development of robust coatings for thinner glass.
In addition to that, the rapidly changing automotive industry dynamics, such as more glass surface area per vehicle, more complex glass shapes to make vehicle more aerodynamic, increasing production rates of glass manufacturing in order to achieve economies of scale, and the development of thinner and stronger glass in order to make vehicle lighter in weight, are also imprinting a great impact on the demand for functional coatings. There is greater demand for functional coatings that can offer excellent UV resistance, heat resistance, more privacy to passengers, and higher strength.

The global functional glass coatings market for the automotive industry is segmented based on vehicle type as Passenger Car, LCV, and M&HCV. The passenger car is expected to remain the growth engine of the global functional glass coatings market during the forecast period of 2019 to 2024. Increasing demand for SUVs and hatchbacks in the developing economies as well as in the highly congested cities of the developed economies is the key factor, propelling the demand for functional coatings in passenger cars.
Based on the application type, the functional glass coatings market for the automotive industry is segmented as Windshield, Sidelite, Backlite, and Sunroof. Sunroof is expected to be the highest-growing segment in the functional glass coatings market for the automotive industry during the forecast period of 2019 to 2024, owing to an increasing size of the sunroof to cover the entire rooftop of the vehicle. This, in turn, demands more functional coatings per vehicle.
Based on the material type, the functional glass coatings market for the automotive industry is segmented as Black Glass Enamels, Glass-Ceramic Enamels, and Conductive Silver Paste. Black glass enamel is a traditional functional coating material and is expected to remain the largest segment of the global functional glass coatings market for the automotive industry during the forecast period.
Based on the glass type, the functional glass coatings market for the automotive industry is segmented into Laminated Glass and Tempered Glass. The laminated glass is also known as laminated safety glass as it provides safety to the driver and passengers during an incident of a vehicle. Different automotive glass such as windshield, sidelite, backlite, and sunroof are made by using laminated glass or tempered glass.
Based on the regions, Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest functional glass coatings market for the automotive industry during the forecast period. China, India, and Southeast Asia are the growth engines of the Asia-Pacific’s functional glass coatings market in the foreseeable future. It is more likely that the region will take more share of the developed economies including the USA and Europe in the coming years. North America and Europe are also likely to signpost positive growths during the same period, driven by passenger car and LCV segments.
Key Players:
The supply chain of this market comprises raw material suppliers, functional coatings manufacturers, automotive glass manufacturers, distributors, and automotive OEMs. The key functional coating manufacturers are Ferro Corporation, ICD High Performance Coatings, Johnson Matthey Plc, Shenzhen Octopus Technology Co., Ltd, and SHINCERAMIC Co., Ltd.
