As per a recent market analysis by ESOMAR-certified consulting firm Future Market Insights (FMI), the global automotive plastics market is projected to total US$ 61.58 Bn in 2021, expanding at a healthy 6.9% CAGR.
Owing to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, the automotive plastic market witnessed a stagnated sales in 2020. However, demand is estimated to increase as the automotive industry attains its pre-pandemic status in 2021.
Automotive plastics are advanced materials used in vehicles to improve the functionality, appearance, and safety, resulting in high demand for the same. Besides this, stringent government regulations to curb vehicular emissions is encouraging consumers to prefer lightweight vehicles, which in turn is driving sales of automotive plastics.
The use of plastic components significantly reduces the overall curb weight of a vehicle by replacing aluminum and steel components. Lightweight cars are more fuel-efficient, which further helps reduce their CO2 emission.
In addition to this, increasing preference for aesthetic appearance in passenger cars is encouraging manufacturers to employ advanced plastics. These materials are easier to mold into desired shapes without adding to the vehicle’s overall weight.
As a result, component makers are aiming to provide revolutionary lightweight automotive components using improved plastic material processing technology to meet the growing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles.
As per FMI’s regional analysis, the Asia Pacific and Europe are projected to remain lucrative regions in the global automotive plastics market. Considering this, the global automotive plastics market is anticipated to reach a value of US$ 119,802.5 Mn by the end of 2031.
