The Bric Automotive Plastics Market is estimated to be valued at Us$ 25,668.14 Mn in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR Of 8.5% over the forecast period 2022 To 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Automotive plastics are widely used in interior, exterior and under-the-hood components in vehicles. They help reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel efficiency. Common automotive plastics include polypropylene, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and polyamide. These plastics are used in exterior auto parts such as bumpers, side protectors and trim components, interior parts such as dashboards, instrument panels and door trim, and under-the-hood components such as air intake manifolds, oil pans and radiator end tanks.
Market Dynamics:
The BRIC automotive plastics market is driven by increased vehicle production in BRIC nations and growing stringency of fuel efficiency regulations. India and China are among the top auto producers globally and their automotive production is projected to grow steadily over the forecast period, thus bolstering plastics demand. Also, governments are tightening automotive fuel efficiency standards to curb emissions which is increasing the use of lighter weight plastics replacing heavier metals. Furthermore, rising disposable incomes are boosting sales of new vehicles with advanced plastic features.
