Affected by the Epidemic, the Development of US Automotive Screenwash Product Industry Slowed Down

Common automotive screenwash products have three categories: all-season cleaner, bug remover and De-icer. All-season cleaner is a concentrated high efficiency windshield cleaner. It quickly removes dust, grime and insect deposits from the windshield, leaving a bright strip-free surface; Bug remover is a readjust, biodegradable prewash solution used to remove insects, insect residues or gum from vehicle paint. De-icer is a product that can quickly loosen the ice, so spray it on the frozen windshield to make it easy to remove with an ice scraper.

Automotive screenwash products are mainly sold through department stores, supermarkets, automotive parts stores and online retailers. Among them, automotive parts stores attract more consumers due to their more professional, more complete products and other advantages . In 2015, the market share of auto parts stores in this industry was 69.55%, ranking the first; Department stores and supermarkets ranked second with 20.22%. Online retailers accounted for only 10.22% of the market. However, in recent years, with the emergence of online shopping, more and more people choose this way of shopping in pursuit of convenience and lower-price products, leading to an increase in the market share of online retailers in this industry, which rose to 10.82% in 2020. In addition, online shopping has become a new trend, so it can be predicted that the market share of online retailers in this industry will continue to rise in the future. On the other hand, the market share of department stores and auto parts stores will decrease.
