Wiper blade market studied

ERJ staff report (DS)

Dublin, Ireland -- Just-Auto has published a new report titled, Global Market Review of Automotive Wiper Blades ? Forecasts to 2016 . The 42-page report was first published in September 2009 and is available for a price of around Euro 500, depending on delivery options.

The publishers say, "The average wiper blade wipes the windscreen over 1m times in a year, and travels 800 miles in this time. Temperature extremes, heavy precipitation and repetitive friction on the windscreen have a damaging effect on wiper blade performance over time. A blade's natural rubber provides the most flexible and resilient edge for wiping across glass, but it eventually dries out and deteriorates."

ERJ has not seen this report and can make no comment on the quality of the research or of the conclusions.
