This change has been mostly the result of technical improvements, changes in automobiles & other vehicles and consumer demand. Research and development activities have been directed towards developing blades with increasingly flexible rubber to keep out ice and snow and also to develop nonstick coatings on the edges of the blades in order to keep wax and oil from adhering and aging them. Moreover, development of all-weatherproof wiper blade is one of the emerging trends witnessed in the automotive wipers market. The new technology is beneficial in removing snow, dust and dirt.
