Industry Overview

Safety glass primarily includes windshields, side windows, and rear windows, mainly laminated and tempered glass, and is widely used in vehicle manufacturing, automotive repair, and aftermarket applications.

Vietnam's automotive safety glass industry has developed rapidly in recent years along with the rapid growth of the automotive market. With the increase in domestic car ownership and the expansion of new car sales, especially in the passenger and commercial vehicle markets, the demand for automotive safety glass has shown a steady growth trend.

Vietnam's domestic glass production capacity is relatively limited, especially in the areas of high-end laminated glass and functional safety glass, where both technology and production capacity rely heavily on imports.

Several multinational glass companies and local processing enterprises have established processing plants in Vietnam. They import raw glass sheets for cutting, tempering, or film application to meet the needs of different car models and markets.

The Vietnamese automotive safety glass market exhibits a multi-tiered and multi-type supply structure. On the one hand, the demand from OEMs for high-quality glass has driven the growth of high-end imported products; on the other hand, the demand for mid-to-low-end products continues to expand in the repair and used car markets.

In the future, with the continued development and upgrading of Vietnam's automotive industry, the demand for high-performance and safety glass will further increase. At the same time, the improvement of local processing capabilities may gradually reduce the dependence on imports of mid-range products.

Overall, Vietnam's automotive safety glass industry is experiencing rapid growth and has enormous market potential. The coexistence of imports and local processing will likely continue for a long time.

Import Market Overview

The demand for automotive safety glass is growing in Vietnam, but local production capacity is limited, and the country is highly dependent on imports.

According to CRI analysis, Vietnam's automotive safety glass import market has shown a steady growth trend in recent years, mainly driven by increased domestic automobile production and the expansion of the used car and repair markets. Due to the limited production capacity of local glass companies in high-end laminated glass, tempered glass, and functional safety glass, imported products have become an important source of supply for the market. Imported glass is not only used in new car production but also widely applied in the aftermarket repair and replacement sectors to meet the safety and functional needs of different types of vehicles.

Vietnam's imports of automotive safety glass continue to growth rapidly.

According to CRI statistics, approximately 790 importers in Vietnam imported automotive safety glass in 2024, totaling US$62.53 million, an increase of 31.2% year-on-year. According to CRI analysis, Vietnam's total imports of automotive safety glass reached US$54.98 million from January to October 2025, an increase of 7.6% compared to the same period in 2024. China, South Korea and Thailand are Vietnam's top 3 sources of imports, accounting for approximately 65.0%, 11.1% and 8.0% of total imports respectively from January to October 2025.
