Global Automotive Plastic Materials Market Overview
Automotive plastics are usually strong, durable, scratch resistance, recyclable, resistance to abrasion, recover vibration and noise control and permits design, molding and incorporation of components in automobiles. Automotive plastic constitutes the key to a host of safety and performance development in minivan, modern cars, SUVs and even HMVs. In modern cars, plastic holds around 50% of the total volume of the car but subsidize only 10% of the total weight of cars which increase the overall fuel efficiency and makes cars lighter. However, modern automotive plastic have widespread application including passenger convenience, passenger safety, and total manufacturing cost reduction. Automotive plastic are utilized in dashboard, bumpers seats, fuel systems, under-bonnet components, body panels, interior trim, exterior trim, lighting, electrical components, upholstery and liquid reservoirs. Moreover, the developments in the field of durable and tough automotive plastic are projected to grow use of plastic in modern cars.
Global Automotive Plastic Materials Market Dynamics
Enhancement in the process of recycling
Plastics undergo five various stages while recycling involving categorizing, washing, shredding, identification and classification, and extruding into final product or component. Enhancements in the process of recycling have strengthen manufacturers to use high-performance automotive plastics. Typically, an average car contains 5.8 to 10% of plastics, reliant on performance requirements and fuel-efficiency standards, with consumption in vehicular equipment estimating for over 105 kg in an average car. This percentage is projected to grow due to increasing demand from consumers for high-performance, fuel-efficient, and lightweight vehicles, thereby promoting demand for automotive plastics over the forecast period. Weight reduction also provides a cost-effective method to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, preserving non-renewable crude oil reserves.
Increasing ecological issues due to rigorous energy use during plastic manufacture are likely to limit the market growth. The producer & disposal of these products leads substantial risk of land, water & air pollution along with deadly effects on human health. However, manufacturers’ efforts to enhance adoption of streamlined mass production techniques and improve recycling processes have resulted in the development of technologically advanced and cost-efficient product with enhanced sustainability, which should motivate the automotive plastics market value.
