Revenue generated through the sales of vehicle anti-fog films and sheets reached US$ 278.4 Mn in 2021, increasing at 4.4% CAGR during the historical assessment period of 2017-2021.
Rapidly increasing adoption of packaged foods and consistent growth of the automobile sector are expected to be key factors driving anti-fog film and sheet consumption in North America.
However, the adverse effects of non-biodegradable materials of anti-fog films and sheets on the environment are expected to be a longstanding challenge for manufacturers.
Nonetheless, the North American market for anti-fog films and sheets is expected to overcome these challenges, with Persistence Market Research predicting the market to expand at a healthy CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period of 2022-2032.
“High Usage of Anti-fog Films and Sheets in Ever-growing Automobile Industry”
The automobile industry uses vehicle anti-fog films in rear view mirrors, windows, glass panel roofs, headlights, and other transparent parts. Consistent rise in the disposable income of population in North America is pushing the automobile sales graph upward.
Along with rising sales of automobiles, consumers are becoming more aware and concerned about personal safety. With rising awareness, regulations imposed by governments to ensure personal safety are becoming stricter day-by-day. This is compelling manufacturers to install various safety features in vehicles.
Automotive fog fewer sheets are among the crucial safety features as they provide clarity to windshields, windows, mirrors, and other see-through components in vehicles. As such, increase in the sales of automobiles in North America is expected to benefit manufacturers of vehicle anti-fog films and sheets going forward.
“Growing FMCG Sector to Augment Market Demand”
Anti-fog sheets and films are widely used in refrigeration display cases at convenience stores and commercial stores. Increasing demand for fast moving consumer goods is driving the need for commercial refrigeration on a broader scale. Fast moving consumer goods are mostly pre-packaged food and cosmetic products that have a shorter lifespan, and hence, require refrigeration to prevent contamination.
Moreover, various new supermarkets, hypermarkets, and other stores are popping up, which is promoting the sales of commercial freezers. With a growing number of commercial freezers, demand for anti-fog films and sheets is also expected to rise in parallel.
In addition, demand for packaged food products, including food, fruits, vegetables, and daily essentials has increased. Consumers are buying packaged food products owing to their busy lifestyles, besides the ease of home delivery through various shopping platforms. Fog accumulation over packaging due to temperature differences is a primary concern for packaged food providers, which is driving usage of automotive fog fewer sheets.
“Use of Non-degradable Materials in Anti-fog Films and Sheets a Matter of Concern”
The material used in the manufacturing of anti-fog films is generally not degradable and takes a longer period of time to decompose. Few materials such as polyurethane and polycarbonate have a decomposition time of more than 100 years. This is a major environmental concern and most companies are switching from optical clear films to more sustainable products.
In addition, governments are also imposing stringent regulations on the products that cause environmental pollution. Companies are striving for a green economy in the future, targeting carbon neutrality. Environmental pollution concerns can hamper the demand growth of anti-fog films and sheets in North America to some extent.
Why is Demand for Anti-fog Films and Sheets High in the U.S.?
Increasing demand for packaged food and various applications of anti-fog films and sheets in the automotive industry are elevating demand for anti-fog films and sheets across the country, with the U.S. market expected to attain a valuation of US$ 399.3 Mn by 2032.
Steady rise in the automotive sector of the U.S. is slated to be a major factor driving the sales of anti-fog films and sheets in the country. Application of anti-fog films and sheets in automotive windows, windshields, mirrors, and other components in vehicles is expected to rise going forward.
In addition, the U.S. packaged food market is expected to grow steadily. Hectic schedules and changing lifestyles are increasing demand for packaged food, fruits, vegetables, daily essentials, and others. Consumers are adopting packaged food products owing to their busy schedules and ease of delivery. As such, consumption of anti-fog films and sheets is high in the U.S., and is only expected to increase.
Which is the Most Preferred Anti-Fog Film and Sheet Product Type?
The most widely preferred product type of anti-fog films and sheets is polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is expected to attain a value of US$ 123.6 Mn in 2022.
Polycarbonate material has excellent strength, which results in strong anti-fog films for high-performance, heavy duty applications. This places polycarbonate at the top of the priority list of anti-fog film and sheet manufacturers and consumers.
Apart from strength, polycarbonate also offers various advantages such as transparent nature, heat-resistant, impact-resistant, fire-resistant, and super lightweight.
What are the Prominent End Uses of Anti-fog Films and Sheets?
Owing to their wide range of applications, anti-fog film and sheets serve various end-use industries such as automotive, architectural and building, refrigerators, electronics, medical & safety, and food packaging.
Over the recent years, rising demand for food packaging has propelled the sales of anti-fog films and sheets. However, growing awareness regarding environment protection and various go-green initiatives are promoting the use of paper packaging solutions, and this trend is expected to grow fast over the coming assessment period, which is expected to hamper the sales of anti-fog films and sheets for food packaging.
The pandemic crisis had a significant impact on North America’s economic growth during late 2020 and early 2021. The North America anti-fog films and sheets market witnessed a significant downfall in 2020, but has recovered sharply after the pandemic owing to growing demand from end users.
Robust growth in demand for packaged food after the crisis has emerged as a boost for the North American as well as global anti-fog films and sheets market.
The North America anti-fog films and sheets market is a highly consolidated landscape where prominent players account for a high market share. Well-known manufacturers are focussing on research & development to discover new application areas so as to increase their sales.
Smaller companies are looking to strengthen their market presence through collaborations and mergers with other players for the overall development of their organizations.
