Automotive Vision Systems - Global Sector Overview and Forecast (Q1 2022 Update)

Summary

Glazing plays an increasingly important role in the overall design of a vehicle and vehicle makers are looking for ways to use glass on other areas of the body, such as in sunroofs, and use more glass to improve a vehicle’s safety aspect. The trends in MPVs, for instance, have seen bulky A-pillars become obtrusive for forward vision. Consequently, some car designers are focusing more and more on windshields that wrap around at the sides pushing the A-pillar back towards the front door. This style of windshield is known as ‘panoramic’.

Meanwhile, the humble rear-view mirror has been transformed over the last decade into a high-tech electronic module. It can feature a number of different functions, such as a compass or a tyre pressure data and temperature display.

However, the flat wiper blade continues to dominate the OE market, driven by the need for product quality, comfort and aesthetics. While European wiper makers refer to ‘flat blades’, American manufacturers talk of ‘beam blades’.
