Market Trends

Automation

Integrating Systems with Glass


One of the fastest-growing trends in automotive design is the fusion of smart systems directly with glass. Windshields are now being engineered to support features like heads-up display (HUD), advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and embedded antennas. These integrations require exceptional optical clarity and tight manufacturing tolerances, driving innovation across both the glass and electronics industries. As vehicles become more connected and autonomous, glass is playing a central role in how technology meets the road.

With extensive experience supporting the high level of optical clarity these systems demand, we deliver glass solutions that help protect sensitive technologies from damage, frost, and fog. Our capabilities support customers around the world as they advance toward the next generation of integrated vehicle systems.

Electrification

Conserving Energy Through Glass Technology


As the shift to electric vehicles accelerates, energy efficiency is becoming a top design priority. Without an engine to assist with cabin heating or cooling, electric vehicles rely solely on battery power to maintain interior comfort. This makes every energy-saving feature more valuable, including the glass. 

Glass technologies like solar control and low-emissivity coatings are gaining momentum as key tools for thermal management. By reducing heat transfer through windows, these solutions help stabilize cabin temperature, improve range, and lower demand on battery systems. 

Our solar control and low-emissivity coatings for glass are already used extensively in buildings to improve energy efficiency. We offer the same benefits for vehicles, supporting the transition to cleaner, more efficient mobility worldwide. 

Shared Mobility

Connected and Comfortable Glass Solutions


As urban mobility evolves, car sharing and ride-hailing services are becoming central to how people move through cities. These models offer flexibility and convenience but rely on strong network connectivity and a positive in-vehicle experience to succeed. 

Glass is playing a growing role in supporting these needs. From embedded antennas that enhance mobile signal strength to acoustic insulation and switchable tint technologies, modern glazing helps create a more connected and comfortable environment for passengers. 

We are a world leader in vehicle antenna design and can tune antenna performance to any vehicle. By integrating advanced glass technologies, we help our customers elevate the passenger experience in today's fast changing mobility landscape.
