What are the key drivers behind the rapid expansion of the automotive plastics market?
The increase in demand for lightweight and electric vehicles is significantly contributing to the growth of the automotive plastics market. The increase in the use of plastic components in the automotive industry has boosted the advancements in the design of automobiles. It also reduces the consumption of fuel in vehicles, as less weight requires less energy when the vehicle is accelerated. For instance, in April 2023, according to reports published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, electric car sales surged by 55% in 2022 compared to 2021, surpassing 10 million units, while the proportion of electric cars in total car sales increased to 14% in 2022 from 9% in 2021. Therefore, the increasing demand for lightweight and electric vehicles is driving the growth of the automotive plastics market.
