Core Viewpoints - The automotive glass market is rapidly evolving, with a significant focus on panoramic roofs, which are expected to reach a penetration rate of 37% by 2030, representing a market space of 34 billion yuan [12][44]. - The development of automotive glass is driven by three main pain points: heat insulation, privacy, and interaction, leading to innovations in heat-insulating, dimmable, and display-grade glass [2][3][12]. Group 1: Heat Insulation - Heat-insulating glass is currently in the 1-N stage, with two main solutions: physical sunshades and chemical coatings. The latter, using silver ion LOW-E films, can block over 98% of UV rays and reduce interior temperatures by 7-8°C [4][50][63]. - The market for heat-insulating glass is expanding, with prices around 1500 yuan per vehicle, making it increasingly accessible even for lower-priced models [63][38]. Group 2: Dimmable Glass - Dimmable glass addresses privacy concerns and is in the 0-1 stage, with various technologies like PDLC, EC, and LC. PDLC is the most cost-effective and widely produced, while EC offers superior dimming capabilities [5][67][69]. - The market for dimmable glass is projected to grow significantly, with estimates reaching 14 billion yuan by 2030, driven by the adoption of high-cost-performance solutions like PDCLC [12][70]. Group 3: Display-Grade Glass - Display-grade glass is still in the early stages of mass production but holds great potential for future applications, integrating with vehicle screens and enhancing user interaction [6][40]. - Innovations in display-grade glass include transparent mini-LED and Micro LED technologies, which could transform the way information is presented within vehicles [6][40]. Group 4: Market Trends - The penetration rate of panoramic roofs in vehicles is increasing, with a notable rise in models priced above 100,000 yuan, where the configuration rate is significantly higher [24][27]. - The automotive glass market is expected to see a shift towards more integrated solutions, with companies like Fuyao Glass leading the way in technology and market share [12][44][63].

Core Viewpoint - The dimmable automotive glass industry is accelerating, with significant growth expected in the future, particularly in the application of dimmable skylights that address previous concerns regarding sun protection and privacy features [1][2]. Industry Trends - Dimmable glass is transitioning from high-end luxury vehicles to mainstream models, with predictions that it will become a popular trend in new cars by 2025, as seen in models like the Zhiji L6 and Xiaomi YU7 [3]. - The penetration rate of dimmable skylights is expected to increase, driven by consumer demand for enhanced features and differentiation in a homogenized automotive market [2][3]. Market Potential - The domestic automotive dimmable film market is projected to reach 2.1 billion yuan by 2025, with long-term potential estimated at 21.4 billion yuan, primarily for use in skylights, rear side windows, and rear windshields [4]. - The PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) technology is leading in domestic production, with significant cost advantages and the ability to meet design requirements for curved surfaces, positioning it to dominate the future dimmable skylight market [3][4]. Competitive Landscape - The market for dimmable films is characterized by high technical barriers, with international suppliers currently dominating. However, domestic manufacturers are making strides in PDLC technology, while other technologies like EC (Electrochromic) remain largely foreign-controlled [4].
