The growth of the automotive plastics market is primarily driven by the rising demand for overall weight reduction in vehicles, increase in application areas of automotive plastics, and improved vehicle design capabilities. Moreover, stringent government regulations regarding vehicle emissions less price availability of vehicles, major automotive OEMs prefer automotive plastics in their designs, thus driving the growth of the automotive plastics. The development in the plastics such as blended thermoplastic materials, lightweight material with perfect heat resistance and mechanical properties polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), reinforced composites such as “GB 266 WG”, biodegradable plastics are expected to create opportunities for the manufacturers in the global market throughout the forecast period. However, volatile prices of raw metals and the availability of substitute products such as carbon fibers are expected to hamper the growth of the global automotive plastics market during the forecast period.
The polypropylene dominated the market throughout the forecast period
Based on product type, the automotive plastics market has been segmented into polypropylene, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polyamide, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polycarbonate, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and others. The polypropylene segment accounted for approximately 31% of the share in the global automotive plastics market in 2018.
While the polyamide segment accounted highest CAGR of around 10.12% in the global automotive plastics market during the forecast period. Unique optical properties, major usage in automotive components due to its excellent mechanical properties and flexibility are some of the factors expected to increase the demand for polyamide. Growing applications of polyamide in automotive and combination with other thermoplastics, such as polyphenylene ether (PPE) to enhance the heat resistant properties is expected to further boost their demand in the next few years.
Based on application, the interior segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 12% during the forecast period
Based on application, the market has been segmented into the interior, exterior, under-the-hood, electrical components, and others. The interior segment accounts of the largest share in the market and expected to grow at a CAGR of around 13.5% during the forecast period.
While the under bonnet segment expected to hold the CAGR of approximately 11% during the forecast period. The increase in the replacement of conventional materials used under bonnet components with plastics and composites are expected to increase the market share of under bonnet in terms of value in the global automotive plastics market during the forecast period.
Asia-Pacific to dominate the automotive plastics market throughout the forecast period
Asia-Pacific accounted for nearly 40% share of the global automotive plastics market in 2018 and is expected to dominate the market throughout the forecast period. The rapid growth in the automotive industry in this region is the major driving factor for the global market. Moreover, increasing demand for plastic materials for passenger vehicles from various countries of the region, such as China, India, and Thailand, growing manufacturing facilities due to low manufacturing costs and supportive government incentives, and expanding manufacturing base further dominate the global automotive plastics market during the forecast period.
Europe is expected to hold the highest CAGR in the global market during the forecast period. Manufacturers are investing in the development of plastics to meet the growing demand for automotive plastics. Stringent government regulations regarding vehicle emission are expected to enhance the market growth in the global automotive plastics market during the forecast period.
