Innovation Could Be Key to Success for Automotive Plastics Manufacturers!
Crucial factors like stringent fuel efficiency and emissions regulations, and modernization and future-readiness of self-driving cars are bolstering sales of automotive plastics across the globe.
The key objective of self-driving cars is to maximize fuel economy to lower emissions and improve overall performance. The usage of automotive plastics, such as reinforced polymers and composites, has become essential to attain these goals. These plastics are considerably lighter than conventional materials like steel, allowing self-driving automobiles to have superior fuel efficiency.
As more of these cutting-edge vehicles are commonly established and furnished with cutting-edge sensor technologies, there is an increasing demand for automotive plastics.
The growing integration of advanced infotainment systems and connectivity features in vehicles is also estimated to boost the demand for plastic components in the automotive industry. Plastics are used in the manufacturing of touchscreen displays, control panels, and housings for electronic devices. The robust technological advancements in automotive safety technologies have created a higher demand for specialized plastic components.
Plastics with excellent impact resistance, such as polycarbonates, are utilized in airbags, bumpers, and other safety-related parts. There has also been recent emergence and widespread application of 3D printing in the automotive sector. Rising focus on developing bio-based and recycled materials to reduce the industry’s carbon footprint is further anticipated to drive the global automotive plastics market through 2033.
“Rising demand for high-quality, lightweight, and durable components, and advances in safety features has spurred demand for automotive plastics globally. Increased integration of infotainment systems and connectivity features in vehicles are anticipated to present key revenue opportunities over the forecast period.”- says a lead analyst at FMI
