Engineering plastics are synthetic polymers that exhibit properties which make them suitable for engineering applications. These engineering polymers are impact-resistant, durable, and possess high mechanical strength. They are widely used in automotive components such as interior fittings, exterior body parts, engine components, etc. due to their ability to withstand high temperatures without losing structural integrity. Engineering plastics provide advantages like corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, durability, and consistency in color. Moreover, they are lightweight and help reduce vehicular emission. The rising demand for fuel-efficient and emission-compliant vehicles has propelled the usage of engineering plastics in automotive manufacturing.

The global Engineering Plastics Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 130.68 Bn in  2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.2%  over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Dynamics:

One of the key drivers for the growth of the engineering plastics market is the increasing usage in automotive industry. The automotive industry is increasingly adopting engineering plastics to reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency of vehicles.
