A wiper blade is a crucial automotive component designed to clear rain, snow, ice, and debris from a vehicle's windshield. It operates using an arm driven by either an electric motor or pneumatic system, coupled with a flexible rubber blade that sweeps across the windshield's surface. This mechanism ensures clear visibility for the driver, enhancing safety especially in challenging weather conditions.

The primary types of wiper blades include conventional blades, flat blades, and hybrid blades. Conventional blades are traditional windshield wipers that effectively sweep across the windshield to remove water, snow, or debris, thereby improving driving visibility. These wiper blades are utilized across various vehicle types such as passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles. They are distributed through multiple sales channels including original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket, and are commonly applied to both windshield wipers and rear wipers.
