Automotive Films Market Outlook

Asia Pacific is the largest market for automotive films. This is due to burgeoning growth in the automotive industry in India, China and Indonesia. Combined car sales in these countries topped 32 million in 2015. The tall number is attributed to rising population and high disposable incomes among the emerging middle class in these countries. In India, strict laws on automotive films are due to concerns regarding women safety in public vehicles such as taxis and buses. The regulations are expected to hinder market growth in India.

North America and Europe are the next largest markets. The demand for SUVs and pickup trucks has risen in U.S. and Canada. A high preference for personal transportation in North America is expected to drive the automobile sector in the region. Whereas, Europe despite having a rich population is comparatively less inclined towards personal transportation due to a well-developed public transport infrastructure.

Latin American markets have witnessed a slowdown in the automobile industry. Political turmoil in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela has contributed to this slowdown. The new Trump administration’s decision to renegotiate NAFTA has threatened the sales of Mexican made cars in the U.S. According to the Mexican Statistical Institute, automotive industry accounted for 3.4% of Mexico’s GDP in 2015. The number is expected to fall in the forecast period if NAFTA renegotiation goes ahead as planned.

In March 2017, the 3M Company announced to acquire Scott Safety from Johnson Controls International Inc. for US$ 2 Bn. The deal will allow 3M to move into safety division and may lead to product innovation in automobile window films.
