The swift expansion of automotive plastics market can be attributed to the increasing production of vehicles, implementation of stringent emission control regulations, and the rising adoption of lightweight materials within the automotive industry.
According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), global vehicle production reached over 40.33 million in 2021 (Jan-June). Demand for automotive plastics is surging in response to the increase in the production of lightweight vehicle parts. As per FMI, automotive plastics demand will reach a total of 40,941.0 Kilo Tons in 2021.
Automotive plastics are generally durable, strong, recyclable, scratch resistant, abrasion resistant and light weight. They improve vibration and noise control and allow design, molding and integration of components in automobiles. These features make automotive plastics highly sought-after in vehicle production.
Implementation of stringent emission regulations is encouraging automotive OEMs to replace metal parts with components with those made of polymers. Coupled with this, increase in electric vehicle production will fuel demand for automotive plastics as automakers aim to offer greater fuel-efficiency.
As per FMI, the polypropylene segment is estimated to account for around 26.6% of the total automotive plastics consumption. Polypropylene has become a commonly used plastic in the automotive sector. As a thermoplastic polymer, polypropylene can be easily formed into almost any shape. Consequently, it is extensively used in passenger cars, especially for manufacturing vehicle bumpers.
“Automotive plastic sales are expected to pick up as focus on manufacturing lightweight vehicles increases. Some of the leading market players have identified this as a lucrative opportunity to boost their presence through product launches,” says a FMI analyst.
