Global Automotive Sector to Inflate Demand for Sustainability Goals to Minimize CO2 Emissions Over Next 3-5 Years, Says Frost & Sullivan

SAN ANTONIO, August 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — For every kilogram reduced in vehicle weight, plastics reduce a car’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by approximately 20 kilograms over its life cycle. Strict regulations imposed on OEMs to meet sustainability goals will boost the automotive plastics sector. Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, Global Automotive Plastics Growth Opportunities, reveals that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) need lightweight materials to accelerate the automotive plastics industry. This market will probably reach $45.07 billion by 2028 from $31.29 billion in 2021, a slight increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%.

“The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) involves replacing conventional components under the hood, such as the engine and fuel, with batteries and other components,” said Brian Balmer, Polymers & Composites Program Manager at Frost & Sullivan. “This should increase the demand for conventional plastics in under-hood applications and drive the need for other plastics for new EV applications and components.”

Balmer added: “As sustainability and decarbonization gain prominence in the global automotive sector, the industry will inflate demand for greener alternatives to minimize CO emissions.₂ emissions in the next 3 to 5 years. For this reason, established OEMs will advance recycling technologies collaboratively or acquire recycling companies to ensure security of supply.”

To reap the benefits of expanding global automotive plastics industry:

• Plastic producers offering PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) and PA (Polyamide) must realize the gains by collaborating with equipment manufacturers to develop and scale plastic-based components, especially battery boxes.
• Resin suppliers must partner with component manufacturers develop recycled grades that guarantee performance equivalent to that of components made from virgin resin.
• To allow autonomous vehicle technology, plastics producers need to ensure zero to minimal signal interference and transparent signal transmission and reception.
• Polymer companies are expected to create growth opportunities by developing hybrid or thermoplastic composites for create lighter components without significantly increasing costs.
