Automotive plastics Market

Automotive plastics Market Size

Automotive plastics Market to surpass USD 42.73 Billion by 2030 from USD 23.95 Billion in 2020 at a CAGR of 7.1% in the coming years, i.e., 2021-30.

Automotive plastics are a type of synthetic material that is recyclable, sturdy, scratch-resistant, abrasion-resistant, reduces vibration and noise, and enables for the design, manufacturing, and integration of components in automobiles. Dashboards, fuel systems, bumpers, seats, liquid reservoirs, body panels, under-bonnet components, interior trim, electrical components, exterior trim, lighting, and upholstery are all examples of where automotive plastics are employed.

Market Highlights

Global Automotive plastics market is expected to project a notable CAGR of 7.1% in 2030.

Globally, the automotive sector's recovery increased vehicle design capabilities, and a growing focus on vehicle weight reduction and pollution control are driving the market for automotive plastics forward. Because of their ease of manufacture, ability to get renewable raw resources, and improved designs, plastics are frequently employed in automotive components and parts.

Global Automotive plastics: Segments

Polypropylene (PP) segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-30

Global Automotive plastics market is segmented by materials into Polypropylene (PP), Polyurethane (PU), Polyvinylchloride (PVC), Polyamide (PA), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polycarbonate (PC), Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) and Others. Polypropylene (PP) segment held the largest market share in the year 2020. The rise in product demand from end-use industries such as packaging, electrical and electronics, construction, consumer items, and automotive can be ascribed to this expansion. Because of its physical and chemical qualities, polypropylene is used in both rigid and flexible packaging. Apart from that, it is chemically and electrically resistant at extremely high temperatures. Because PP is relatively light in comparison to other polymers, it is well suited for use in the automobile industry to assist reduce vehicle overall weight, hence lowering fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

Interior segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-30

Global Automotive plastics market is divided by end-user into Interior, exterior, under bonnet and others. Over the forecast period, the interior segment is projected to expand at the fastest pace. Over the forecast period, rising demand for automotive plastics in areas such as body and light panels, seat covers, steering wheels, seat bases, load floors, headliners, and rear package shelves and fascia systems is expected to boost the market.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

Rising demand for automobiles weight reduction and limited vehicle supply

The rise in demand for overall vehicle weight reduction, expansion of automotive plastics application areas, and increased vehicle design capabilities are driving the growth of the automotive plastics market. Furthermore, due to strict government rules governing car emissions and limited vehicle supply, major automotive OEMs favor automotive plastics in their designs, fueling the expansion of the automotive plastics industry.

Advancements in plastics to provide opportunities

Additionally, throughout the forecast period, advancements in plastics such as blended thermoplastic materials, lightweight materials with perfect heat resistance and mechanical properties polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), reinforced composites such as "GB 266 WG," and biodegradable plastics are expected to provide opportunities for manufacturers in the global market.

Restraint

Expensive design specification as well as production

A vehicle's design is crucial because it is subjected to a variety of external forces as well as the possibility of strong impacts. As a result, in order to maintain a vehicle's structural integrity, the materials employed in its manufacture become critical variables for safety and stability. Although they are less expensive than metals, their design specifications and production equipment are both quite expensive, which will be a barrier for industry participants.
