Windshield washer system- Windshield washer system is the standard safety feature available in all automotive vehicles produced across the globe, so as to provide clear visibility to the driver. The system includes components such as nozzles, washer fluid reservoirs, hose and connectors, wiper blade, wiper arm, windshield washer pump, and front & wiper motor.
The global Automotive Washer System Market was accounted for US$ 20,170.4 Mn in terms of value and 1,605.9 Mn in units in terms of volume in 2019 and is expected to grow at CAGR of 5.1 % for the period 2019-2027
Market Driver
Improved standard of living and rising preference towards cars such as SUVs are expected to boost the global automotive washer system market growth over the forecast period
Standard of living of common populace across the globe has improved significantly in the recent past, with increased disposable income. This change in standard of living is particularly observed in emerging economies such as India and China, owing to high growth of automotive industry. Furthermore, more and more consumers are preferring SUV segment vehicles over compact or small-sized cars, owing to robust built of SUV cars. This, in turn, is expected to drive the global automotive washer system market growth over the forecast period.
Market Opportunity
Inaugural of new production plants in emerging automotive market is expected to present major growth opportunities
Many automotive manufactures are focused on production and capacity expansion by establishing new production plants in emerging automotive markets. Domestic suppliers, especially of wiper & washer systems and components such as motors, pumps and integrated washers, are expected to benefit significantly. OEMs prefer local component suppliers for economical pricing and sustainable supply. Moreover, international players could leverage their capabilities to expand into such markets either through collaboration with local players or by establishing production sites in these regions. For instance, in 2015, Kia Motors, South Korea-based automobile manufacturer, expanded its production capacity by establishing a new facility in Mexico.
Market Restraint
Requirement of timely replacement of windshield washer system is expected to hamper the global automotive washer system market growth over the forecast period
Windshield requires frequent maintenance and replacement operations as it is a regularly used equipment. If the use of a windshield washer system is extensively used, it necessitates regular replacement, which is fairly expensive. Moreover, this system has a relatively shorter lifespan as compared to other automotive parts. Hence, the cost of periodic replacement of windshield washer system is expected to hinder the market growth over the forecast period.
