Global Automotive plastics market size to touch USD 53.8 billion mark by 2022: Fractovia


Posted November 2, 2016 by rahulvarpe

Automotive plastics market size is likely to exceed 18 million tons by 2022, growing at a CAGR of over 9.5% from 2015 to 2022. Major companies include Dow Chemical, Johnson Control, Evonik Industries, AkzoNobel N.V. and Delphi Automotive.

 
As per the Global Market Insights Inc. report, “the global automotive plastics market is predicted to reach USD 53.8 billion mark by 2022 at a CAGR of 13.5% over the period of 2015-2022.” Rise in demand for automobiles, changes in vehicle designs, and the growing mass reducing trends to enhance fuel efficiency are few of the factors predicted to drive the market growth in the coming seven years.

Plastics provides considerable weight reduction for the automobiles resulting in low fuel consumption and emission thereby increasing the overall vehicle efficiency. Strict norms set by CAFÉ (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) have forced the automobile manufacturers to improve vehicle design fulfilling (complying with) weight reduction, low fuel consumption, and emission control norms. Mass reduction helps in enhancing the total vehicle performance in terms of smooth ride, noise reduction, acceleration, and vibrations. Owing to the growing market competition, designers are focusing on vehicle designs that have aesthetic value. Plastics provides the designers with the design versatility to design various vehicle components, thus improving the visual/aesthetic appeal of the vehicle. This, in turn, is predicted to boost the demand for automotive plastics.
