Market Drivers
Increased Demand for Electric Vehicles to Accelerate Market Growth
Alarming levels of air pollution have shifted consumer preferences, leading to a shift from traditional vehicles to Electric Vehicles (EVs) over the past decade. Automakers have intensified their R&D efforts to cater to changing consumer behavior. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electric vehicle sales already exceeded 5 million units in 2018, a 63% increase from 2017 levels. The IEA further notes that nearly 45% of these vehicles were in China. The IEA also projects that the global electric vehicle stock will increase by 44 million units year-on-year by 2030. The lighter weight of electric vehicles will necessitate robust glass solutions for their market, and the expanding market for EVs will benefit the automotive glass market growth.
