What Are the Critical Driver Fuelling the Automotive Film Market's Growth?
The rise in need for passenger cars within growing economies is anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the automotive film industry. A vehicle is classified as a passenger vehicle if it's specifically constructed, designed, or adapted to carry individuals. Automotive films are utilized in these vehicles to shield the occupants and the driver from direct sunlight, intense heat, and to decrease the car's internal heat. For example, the Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V., an automotive organization based in Germany, reported a substantial surge in Mexican light vehicle sales (covering passenger vehicles and light-duty vehicles) for the year 2023 in January 2024. Approximately 1.4 million new units of passenger cars and light-duty vehicles were registered, marking a 25% increase compared to 2022. Thus, the growing demand for passenger vehicles in developing economies is fueling the need for the automotive film industry.
