You won't believe how much of a difference these little
windscreen water repellents can make. As someone who hates it when my vision gets blurry during a storm, after trying some of these products, I was shocked at the results. Seeing the way the water beads up and rolls away immediately sold me!
After some research, it turns out that this category is really booming worldwide. What started out as a way to keep cars flowing smoothly has now expanded to include aircraft and boats as well. Countries all over the world are looking for solutions to visibility in wet conditions, whether it's the more developed car markets or the developing countries where car ownership is soaring.
These options have come a long way, with popular brands such as Rain-X and Turtle Wax dominating for years, with premium treatments that can be found in any auto parts shop. But private labels from major retailers are catching up fast by lowering prices. I'm also impressed with the new formulas introduced each year by companies that continue to innovate polymer chemistry.
Currently leading the industry are companies such as 3M, Turtle Wax, Rain-X and Prestone, whose popular brands of wiper fluid additives and glass treatments are available at auto parts retailers. User studies have shown that these proven players meet the need for simple application and long-lasting protection. However, private label alternatives from major retailers are making inroads and grabbing market share based on value. Technological innovations in polymer chemistry have also produced a new generation of insect repellents with better hydrophobicity.
When I do my own shopping, ease of use in the driveway and results that last months at a time are definitely priorities. From talking to friends and reading reviews online, it seems that hassle-free application and reliable performance during any rainy season are also top concerns for most drivers. With increased awareness driving overall growth, it's clear that this market has staying power.
In addition to private vehicles, these products are used in everything from aircraft cockpits to industrial machine windscreens. Even ordinary windows can begin to utilise waterproofing technology. Opportunities for suppliers to explore wisely abound as demand expands into new areas and customised solutions emerge for specific needs. Regulatory acceptability of ingredients may require monitoring as well as volatility of the commodities that make up the supply chain.
With innovative formulations that meet consumer needs and growing international markets, the future looks bright for this successful category. By adapting to risks and taking advantage of opportunities as they arise, manufacturers can make steady profits from a problem that many rely on them to solve.
