Automotive Films Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The tropical climate of emerging economies necessitating the need for solar window films is notably driving the automotive films market growth, although factors such as the popularity of window power sunshades may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the automotive films industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Automotive Films Market Driver

One of the key factors driving the automotive films market growth is the use of automotive films improves the efficiency of HVAC. Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) is a technology that is used to maintain good air quality and deliver thermal comfort by providing adequate ventilation inside vehicles. Modern vehicles are equipped with automotive window films, as they reduce the glare of the sun and decrease the effect of heat transfer into the interiors. Hence, the use of automotive films reduces the need for the use of HVAC units to maintain the cabin temperature of vehicles. Furthermore, it also reduces energy consumption and, resulting in the fuel consumption of vehicles. Moreover, sunroofs provide light and fresh air to the cabins of vehicles. The installation of automotive films on sunroof protects occupants from direct exposure to sunlight. Advanced sunroofs, such as panoramic sunroofs, cover the entire roof of vehicles, which might reduce the efficiency of HVAC units if the sunroofs are not covered by automotive films. Therefore, customers install automotive films on sunroofs. The use of automotive films also protects occupants from UV and infrared rays without the use of any electronic systems. Hence, it reduces energy and fuel consumption. All these factors increase the demand for the installation of automotive films during the forecast period.

Key Automotive Films Market Trend

The popularity of interactive automotive film simulators is another factor supporting the automotive films market growth in the forecast period. A wide range of automotive films is available for application on windows, sunroofs, windshields, and the body of vehicles. Therefore, consumers are confused about the choice of the appropriate automotive film for their vehicles. Prominent vendors, such as 3M, Eastman Chemical, and LINTEC, have developed interactive automotive film simulators that allow customers to visualize the appearance of their vehicles after the installation of automotive films. For such reasons, the availability of simulators is a crucial factor that is increasing the installation of automotive films. Moreover, simulators also suggest an appropriate automotive film for customers based on their requirements. The requirements of customers vary based on various parameters, such as heat reduction, glare reduction, privacy and security, and appearance. The use of simulators enables customers to make an ideal purchase decision that improves customer satisfaction. The simulator assists customers in choosing appropriate color combinations, designs, and appearance to design wrap films that are visually appealing. Therefore, customers prefer automotive film simulators before making a purchase decision. This will be a positive factor for the growth of the global automotive films market in the near future.

Key Automotive Films Market Challenge

The popularity of window power sunshades will be a major challenge for the automotive films market growth during the forecast period. The rising focus on comfort and product differentiation has resulted in automotive manufacturers equipping mid-sized passenger cars with window power sunshades. Prominent OEMs offer power sunshades as a standard or optional fitment in their model variants. Window power sunshades have been integrated with the modern sunroofs of vehicles in recent years to protect occupants from sunlight. As most automotive OEMs offer sunroofs as standard, the demand for window power sunshades is expected to increase, which is a challenge for the growth of the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the demand for automotive window power sunshades is correlated with the sales of sedans, which are widely equipped with window power sunshades for various applications, such as rear windows, side windows, and sunroofs. Moreover, the rising demand for advanced sunroofs in SUVs has also increased the use of power sunshades in the SUV category. Therefore, the increasing adoption of power sunshades is expected to be a major challenge for the growth of the global automotive films market during the forecast period.
