Pune, India -- (SBWire) -- 06/22/2018 --Automotive Plastic Market – Market Overview

The Global Automotive Plastic Market is likely to witness significant growth due to rapid adoption of lightweight components in automotive sector in order to increase fuel efficiency and rising demand of renewable material electrical components. Plastic materials such as ABS, PVC and PU are major types of materials used in automotive vehicle parts. On an average, a single vehicle contains 6-9% of plastics depending on fuel efficiency and performance requirements of particular vehicle. Over the years, this percentage is projected to reach more than 35% owing to stringent regulation and high demand of lightweight parts. Moreover, reducing weight is prime importance for automakers as it minimizes greenhouse gases and fuel consumption, thereby, shifting to cost effective products.

Based on various products available in market, polypropylene (PP) witness huge demand owing to excellent chemical and electrical resistance and lightweight which widely used in dampeners and thermal insulators. Polyurethane emerged as leading segment due to its superior properties such as high tensile strength, excellent impact and abrasion resistance. According to numerous application, Global Automotive Plastic is segmented as interiors body, under bonnet, exterior body, and electrical components. Interior furnishing segment includes display panels, seat bases, headliners, rear package shelves are manufactured by ABS plastic which are further likely to boost the market growth. Furthermore, auto manufacturers are focusing more on performance of vehicle by lowering of greenhouse gases with significant reduction in weight of vehicle.

Asia Pacific region is leading market in Automotive Plastic Market owing to rising production of passenger vehicle along with increasing consumer preference for luxurious car segment. Changing trend of lightweight components with protective film in vehicle parts in order to improve fuel efficiency in various regions is expected to complement market growth. China witnessed strong growth owing to large production base and economic labor. Moreover, countries like Japan, India and South Korea are leading countries in automotive industries and manufacturer are relocating base owing to lenient government regulations and easy availability of resources. North America is second largest automotive market followed by Europe.
