Trends in the global automotive glass industry

With the continuous recovery of the global economy since the 2008 global financial crisis, the global demand for automotive glass increased from 294 million square meters in 2009 to 415 million square meters in 2013, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.0%. It is estimated that from 2013 to 2018, global automotive glass demand will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.9%. In 2018, the global demand for automotive glass will reach 528 million square meters. The historical and forecast data of global automotive glass demand during the period indicated are shown in the figure below. From 2009 to 2013, the global automotive glass market for new cars grew at a compound annual growth rate of 10.1%. In 2013, the total global automotive glass market for new cars was 331 million square meters, accounting for 79.8% of the global automotive glass market, and the growth rate was higher than the global automotive market in the same period. The main reason for the growth of the global automotive glass market for new cars is the increasing market demand for large windshields and the increasing popularity of automotive sunroofs. It is estimated that from 2013 to 2018, the global automotive glass market for new cars will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.0%. In 2018, the total global automotive glass market for new cars will reach 423 million square meters. From 2009 to 2013, the global after-sales parts auto glass market grew at a compound annual growth rate of 5.0%. In 2013, the global after-sales parts auto glass market totaled 84 million square meters. It is estimated that from 2013 to 2018, the global after-sales accessories auto glass market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.6%. In 2018, the total global after-sales auto glass market will reach 105 million square meters. Global automotive glass sales increased from 10.7 billion US dollars in 2009 to 14.2 billion US dollars in 2013, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.6%. The market price of automotive glass depends on a number of factors, including raw material costs and market supply and demand. The average price of automotive glass dropped from US$36.30/m2 in 2009 to US$34.10/m2 in 2010, mainly due to the 2008 global financial crisis. Since 2010, the average price of auto glass has stabilized at US$34 per square meter, mainly due to the gradual recovery of the global auto market and the closure of some loss-making auto glass production lines. The global automotive glass market is highly concentrated, and the sales of the top four manufacturers in 2013 accounted for approximately 77% of the total global automotive glass sales. The market share of the world's leading automotive glass manufacturers is shown in the chart below. Trends in the global automotive glass industry The penetration rate of car sunroofs has increased. Driven by consumer demand for driving experience, the demand for automotive sunroofs is expected to continue to increase. The use of automotive glass increased. The use of automotive glass per vehicle has grown at a compound annual growth rate of 1.4% in the past ten years and is expected to continue to grow in the future, mainly due to the increase in the inclination of the front windshield to expand the field of view and the increase in demand for automotive sunroofs. Improvement of the characteristics and functions of automotive glass. Smart glass products (such as electrically-switchable smart glass), water-repellent glass and other value-added features and functions that save energy, improve driving comfort and safety Screen display windshield (HUD) will be widely used in the automotive industry. Increased modular production of automotive glass. In order to reduce production costs, optimize the supply chain, and strengthen quality control, the world's leading automakers are increasingly demanding modular production of automobiles. It is expected that this will push auto glass manufacturers to further integrate value-added production processes such as pre-assembly and injection molding edging, and increase the added value of auto glass products.

How to choose a glass cutting machine correctly

Among CNC machinery, CNC equipment such as tempering furnace, edging, cleaning, hollowing, laminating, etc. are maturely internationalized. Fully automatic glass cutting machines have always been regarded as glass machinery due to factors such as fast speed, high precision, and difficult control. It seems the simplest, but actually the most difficult to use glass machinery, because domestic cutting machine manufacturing started late, the market recognition is not high, and the equipment stability, accuracy and other considerations, glass processing customers are choosing automatic cutting I didn’t know how to locate and select when I was running. With the rapid development of science and technology today, with the continuous rise of labor costs, especially the stricter requirements of customers on product accuracy, enterprises have higher and higher requirements for safety, automation, product quality and efficiency. In the past, glass cutting was completely manual. The operation will gradually be replaced by automated loading and glass cutting machines. Now this trend has gradually extended from large glass processing companies to small and medium glass processing companies. So how to choose a glass cutting machine correctly as a developing company? Take the automatic special-shaped glass cutting machine as an example, the following aspects should be paid attention to when purchasing: 1. Function: The function of the cutting machine is also an important sign to verify the performance of the cutting machine. Can the pressure be adjusted automatically, whether there is a special-shaped scanning function, whether there is a lower knife limit function, etc. 2. Selection: According to the actual cutting layout of the company, choose the most suitable one, that is, what glass to cut, which is the basis for considering the layout. Do not wear big shoes with small feet because it involves normal wear and tear of the equipment. Needless capital investment. 3. Cutting accuracy: Choose according to your actual needs. This can't be done only by the introduction of the product manual and the manufacturer's words. At present, the technical parameters of most manufacturers are untrue. Go to the site to see the actual demonstration and the actual use of the glass manufacturer. 4. Cutting speed: The cutting speed is a main performance of the cutting machine. Only when the overall performance and compatibility of the mechanical and control parts are good, the cutting machine can reach the corresponding speed, so no matter what the actual speed is required The speed of the cutting machine is the best criterion for judging the performance of the cutting machine. 5. Automatic layout optimization function: The level of glass optimization is an important guarantee for the glass cutting rate. One-time computer optimization may not achieve the best results. The ability to manually modify the function after optimization will be an important indicator for judging the advancement of an optimized system. 6. Mechanical part: the guarantee of stability and accuracy, first of all, the rationality of the design and installation of the mechanical part will be an important factor. Ensuring the flatness of the mechanical part, the parallelism of the guide rails on both sides, how to prevent it from being deformed, and whether it can be corrected after deformation is an important part of testing the mechanical part. At present, there are nearly ten domestic manufacturers of fully automatic glass cutting machines, but there are not many manufacturers that can mature and quantify. You must be cautious when choosing a cutting machine. You cannot simply read the information and publicity, but need to conduct a comprehensive examination. , So as to avoid detours and make the right choice!
