Automotive Plastics Market will be a US$32,985.4 million by 2018 As the automotive and automobile industry increasingly inclines toward the use of lightweight materials in place of conventionally-used metals, automotive plastics will be a US$32,985.4 million by 2018, a latest report by Transparency Market Research now shows. The report, titled “Automotive Plastics Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 – 2018,” conducts an in-depth study of the demand automotive plastic and its various segments through 2018. TMR analysts expect the global automotive plastics market to register a healthy growth rate through the forecast period of this report.

Plastics also offer other advantages such as corrosion resistance and durability. Automotive parts and components such as fenders, doors, and bumpers are now customarily made of plastic because these materials typically weigh up to 50% less than conventional metals.The report studies the following applications of automotive plastics: Electrical components, power trains, interior and exterior furnishings, chassis, under the hood, and others. TMR’s analysis shows that automotive plastics will be widely deployed in two major areas: Interior and exterior furnishings and electrical components. These two segments together accounted for the highest demand in the automotive plastics industry as of 2012. However, it might be a while before the pervasiveness of automotive plastics becomes evident in other application areas such as power trains, chassis construction, and under-the-hood components. This, however, opens up several opportunities for market players wanting to engage in R&D activities in these areas.
