In automotive manufacturing, traditional materials are being replaced by highly advanced polymers to improve qualities such as reduced weight, more appeal, and more fuel efficiency, thus augmenting the growth of automotive plastics. The growing popularity of lightweight automotive interior components, driven by the need for better fuel efficiency in vehicles, will continue fuelling the sales of automotive plastics. In addition, technological advancement for innovations and techniques for the development of specialised materials will boost the market's growth. Polyamide's growing use in automobiles and its combination with other thermoplastics like polyphenylene ether (PPE) to improve heat resistance will likely drive-up demand in the coming years. Increased demand for fuel efficiency, greater comfort, and sustainable materials for automotive components are major factors propelling the adoption of the product in the conventional cars segment. In addition, the flexibility offered by plastics, primarily in terms of weight and costs, could be an advantage to the suppliers as electric vehicles demand grows further. Other advantages of employing automotive plastics include toughness, durability, resilience, good corrosion resistance, and lower manufacturing costs. These advantages are also helping to boost the popularity of automotive plastics and, as a result, the automotive plastics market's overall growth.
Various strategic efforts have been recorded to increase market growth. For example, in May 2019, Covestro AG (OTCMKTS: COVTY) announced plans to expand its polycarbonate film production capacity at its Dormagen, Germany, facility. The facility, which was planned to open by the end of 2020, will produce PC films in automotive interiors, security cards, medical devices, and automotive displays, among other applications.
