Fuyao Group Highlights Innovations in Automotive Glass at Conference

On July 23, 2025, at the Automotive Intelligent Glass Innovation Technology and Application Conference, Chen Yunyan, Deputy Director of the Product Center Market and Solutions Department of Fuyao Group, pointed out that the automotive industry is undergoing profound changes, which also significantly impact the automotive glass sector. The development of new energy vehicles (NEVs) has led to a substantial expansion of the panoramic skylight market, with a shift in the consumer demographic towards younger buyers aged 25-35, who prioritize high-tech and intelligent features in vehicles. Chen introduced Fuyao Group's continuous innovations in safety, intelligence, and aesthetic comfort in automotive glass, launching several safety products including a black-edge display windshield. The company is actively exploring the application of smart dimming glass and has developed various dimming glass products. In terms of comfort and aesthetics, Fuyao is committed to enhancing the thermal insulation performance of glass, developing coated heated windshields, and offering different types of sunshades tailored to regional characteristics. Chen's presentation emphasized the ongoing significant transformations in the automotive industry, driven by economic changes, evolving consumer demands, and efforts to find new growth avenues. The panoramic skylight market has seen notable growth, attributed to the reduced space occupied by battery packs in NEVs, allowing for more spacious skylights. With 70%-80% of smart glass applications currently focused on NEVs and mid-to-high-end models, the shift towards younger consumers has been pivotal, as this demographic is more open to innovative and intelligent products. Furthermore, the luxury car consumer base is shifting towards those born in the 1990s, who prioritize practicality over traditional metrics. The upcoming generations, particularly those born after 1995, exhibit distinct preferences for personalization and sustainability. As the automotive industry adapts to these trends, Fuyao continues to innovate in glass technology, focusing on user needs and market segmentation for effective product development. With the evolution of intelligent connected vehicles, Fuyao is also exploring the integration of AI technologies in automotive glass applications, aiming to enhance user experience and safety. Innovations in glass design, including the integration of multiple functions and safety features, are becoming increasingly important as consumer expectations rise. Fuyao Group remains dedicated to addressing these needs through advanced glass solutions, ensuring comfort, security, and aesthetic appeal in automotive applications.
