Global market review of automotive glazing systems – forecasts to 2014New! just-auto estimates the automotive glazing market for passenger car and light truck applications in Europe, North America, Japan and China was worth EUR3.7bn in 2007, with that figure having the potential to reach EUR4.4bn by 2014.
Vehiclemakers’ needs with respect to glass are also becoming increasingly sophisticated and diversified, priority is being given to the heat resistance of the cabin, sound-proofing, upgraded glass antennae, the adoption of lighter-weight glass varieties and the encapsulation of glass. In our fifth edition of the popular Global market review of automotive glazing systems report we discuss the latest trends and technologies in more detail, review the emerging markets, and provide forecasts showing how the replacement glass market will evolve in Europe from 2004 through to 2014. Chapter 1: Introduction – Brief introduction to the report. Chapter 2: The market - The main drivers of growth in the automotive glass market relate to product complexity, solar-control, security, and the complete glazing system. These trends present various challenges such as creating new shapes in glass to follow styling trends, keeping weight down as glass areas increase and addressing overheating problems resulting from so much light entering the cabin. This chapter investigates these trends, and includes comment from Pat Zito, head of NSG’s automotive business, and from Pilkington. It is estimated that Nippon Sheet Glass (NSG, which now includes Pilkington), Asahi Glass, Saint-Gobain, and Guardian Industries produce about 61% of the world’s float glass. We take a look at some of these major manufacturers and their movements, discuss the main emerging markets, such as China, India and Russia, and provide market share data for the world and selected regions. Forecasts provided show volume of replacement windshields, side and rear windows (tempered and laminated) in Europe from 2004 through 2014, and market value of vehicle glazing fitted to new passenger cars and light trucks in Europe, North America, Japan and China. Chapter 3: Technical review – In this chapter we define the elements of various glazing systems, and discuss innovations in panoramic roof systems, Cielo windshields, acoustic and thermal comfort, and polycarbonate and electrochromic glazing. Also included is an exclusive interview with Dr Klaus Badenhausen, director, chief-engineer A-/B-class, smart, in which he talks about the vehiclemaker’s use of polycarbonate glazing, and his views on the opportunities for plastic glazing in the automotive industry. Other recent innovations in the sector, such as integrated antennas, and Guardian Automotive’s flush-fitting, rear sliding window dubbed the HPS 1.0 (High Performance Slider) are also discussed. Chapter 4: Manufacturers - Learn more about Asahi Glass, Central Glass, Fuyao Group, Guardian Industries, Nippon Sheet Glass, PPG Industries, Saint-Gobain and Sekurit with these top level company profiles. Read about their customers, products, facilities, sales, and mergers and acquisitions. Global market review of automotive glazing systems – forecasts to 2014bothChapter 1 Introduction

Europe tends to lead styling trends for advanced glass shapes, including panoramic windshields and large roof glazings, as well as colour tints such as blue glass. So, with design trends pointing to greater usage of glass in the future, and a growing trend toward aerodynamic design, glassmakers must be able to control the pattern of temperatures in the glass throughout the shaping process if shape, optical quality and stress patterns are to be achieved.
