Key Challenges
Despite the challenges of the coronavirus crisis, the prospects of the automotive glass market are largely positive in the long term. However, sustained growth will entail effective maneuvering through various challenges.
For instance, volatility in the pricing of raw materials required for the production of automotive glass, and the resulting gap between supplies and demand is a key challenge often facing manufacturers.
According to the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine, inadequate standardization of glass quality is a problem in terms of safety from lacerations and ejection in accidents.
Also, automotive glass market players require high capital for research and development and the necessary infrastructure. Also, products needing certification have to go through stringent testing and regulations that restrain growth prospects in the industry.
