Automotive Plastics Market Size is Predicted to Witness 5.6% CAGR till 2030

 

The global Automotive Plastics Market size is anticipated to reach USD 43.77 billion by 2030 is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2024 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing awareness of environmental sustainability is a key trend, pushing automakers toward eco-friendly and recyclable plastic solutions. Additionally, advancements in polymer technology and a rising focus on interior aesthetics are expected to contribute to the projected growth of the market. The global automotive plastics market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Increasing utilization of plastics in automotive components coupled with a rise in the production of passenger cars and heavy-duty vehicles, particularly in Central & South America and Asia Pacific, is expected to boost the growth of the automotive plastics market over the forecast period. Furthermore, vehicle weight regulations and standardization of emission norms are anticipated to impact the market growth positively.

Automobiles involve the use of various types of plastics such as polyurethane, polypropylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate, polyamides, and others. These materials possess various physical properties that are particularly of use in the automotive industry and can also be employed in other industries, thereby generating additional revenues for automotive plastics.

For instance, polypropylene is highly resistant to chemicals and almost completely impervious to water. These features make it suitable for use in manufacturing automotive bumpers, fuel tanks, cable insulation, battery boxes, petrol cans, and indoor & outdoor carpets. The same properties are also useful in the manufacture of chemical tanks, bottles, non-automotive carpets, liners, and insulators. This diversification of automotive plastics provides a new source of revenue for automotive plastic manufacturers, and the market could expand further into other manufacturing disciplines.

Properties such as high chemical resistance and impermeability to water have contributed to P.P.'s emergence as the dominant material in the automotive plastics market. However, from the manufacturing point of view, Polyurethane (PU) is one of the most attractive materials in the automotive plastics market at present since it is not only the second-largest market segment but also one of the fastest-growing plastics in automotive applications.
