REPORT DESCRIPTION
Automotive Plastics Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012
- 2018
The surging global demand for cars and the need for automakers to incorporate better design elements due to
the increasing competition in the automotives market is driving the global automotive plastics market to grow at
a significantly high CAGR during the forecast period 2012 to 2018. By 2018, the global automotive plastics
market is expected to reach a market value of US$32,985.4 million.
The popularity of plastics in automotives can be attributed to their physical properties such as toughness,
resilience, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Also, the use of plastics in automotives ensures greater fuel
efficiency because of the reduced overall weight of the vehicles. Materials such as steel, previously used
extensively in manufacturing automotive parts and components, are increasingly being substituted with
plastics.

The use of plastics in place of metals such as steel ensures that automotive designers are able to achieve the
desired features in lighting, electronic, and electrical components of automobiles. This also enables them to
develop the vehicle’s aesthetic aspects and lower its total weight. Reducing the total weight of a car helps
improve nearly every aspect of its design, increasing its mileage, improving its handling characteristics, and
reducing exhaust emissions due to the lower amount of fuel required to propel a lighter vehicle. Rising
importance of emission control in the regulatory scenario is a key factor that fuels the overall automotive
plastics market.
