Automotive plastic materials offer advantage such as corrosion resistance, flexibility in design and efficiency in fuel.

Report Highlights:

• Automotive plastic materials market size is accounted for USD 60.5 Billion in 2025.
• Target market size is estimated to be valuated at USD 159.8 Billion by 2035 and at a registered CAGR of 11.3 %.
• Polypropylene is the dominant type as largely favored by automotive sector regarding the automotive plastics material market share.
• By Process, the injection molding segment is expected to influence the automotive plastic materials market share.
• The interior and exterior furnishing application holds the largest automotive plastic materials market share.

Key Highlights:

• In May 2025, the development of a new horizontal recycling technology for plastic automotive parts was introduced by Toyoda Gosei that enables the recycling of high-quality plastic from end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), achieving performance equivalent to new materials even with 50% recycled content.
• In May 2023, Lear which is a leading automotive organization, established a connection systems facility in Morocco dedicated to producing automotive plastic material and components for automakers, suppliers, and its E-Systems and seating units.

Report Analysis:

Recycling and Disposal of Automotive Plastic Materials:

Growing attention is being directed toward the issue of End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) and the importance of recycling as much of their material content as possible. This concern is becoming increasingly critical due to the high and rising number of ELVs—currently estimated at 40–42 million per year worldwide, with projections reaching 45–47 million by 2007—and the growing pressure on limited landfill space.

At present, approximately 75–80% by weight of a scrapped vehicle is typically recovered and recycled, while the remaining portion is disposed of through various means, including landfilling. In response, the automotive industry has initiated several voluntary codes, such as ACORD in the UK, with the goal of progressively increasing the recycling rate to 95%, thereby promoting environmental responsibility and reducing landfill dependency.
