The growth of the electric vehicle plastics market has significantly boosted demand for plastics used in electric vehicles. Plastics play a pivotal role in electric vehicles as these are lightweight and helps in reducing the overall weight of the vehicle. These are used across various parts of the vehicle including the battery casing, dashboards, door panels, bumpers, and more. The auto component industry is witnessing significant transformations with the development of electric powertrains, and the use of plastics for various applications plays a key role in this regard. Plastics are widely used in electric vehicles as compared to conventional vehicles due to their lightweight properties, durability and ability to withstand harsh operating conditions. From battery enclosures and power electronics to dashboards, interior trims and exterior body parts, plastics are optimally utilized to improve vehicle performance while keeping costs in check. The lightweight properties of plastics contribute to less energy consumption, thereby, complementing the objectives of electric vehicles of being sustainable modes of transportation. With stringent emission norms and growing consumer inclination toward environmental protection, the electric vehicle plastics market is expected to witness substantial growth in the near future.
Market Dynamics:
Global electric vehicle plastics market growth is driven by various factors such as rising demand for lightweight materials to increase battery range, stringent emission regulations promoting electric vehicle adoption, and growing investments by automakers in electric vehicle production. However, high raw material and production costs can hamper the market growth. Opportunities for market growth include development of advanced plastic materials for specific electric vehicle applications and collaboration between plastic manufacturers and automakers to diversify electric vehicle components made from plastics.
