Emphasis on Rensin (Polypropylene, Polyamide, Polycarbonate, Polyethylene, Polyurethane, Polyvinyl Chloride, and Others); Application (Interior and Exterior) Region/Country.
The EV engineering plastic market is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 26.6% during the forecast period 2022-2028 owing to the increasing demand for electric vehicles around the world.
Engineering plastics are adaptable plastic materials with exceptional physical and electrical characteristics, including stability, improved chemical resistance, heat resistance, abrasion resistance, and weatherability.
The growing adoption of EV engineering plastics is attributed to the various benefits if EV engineering plastics such as they are lightweight, durable, and offer excellent strength-to-weight ratios, which can help reduce the overall weight of the vehicle and improve its energy efficiency. For instance, according to iea, the adoption of EV’s in the European region is increasing with a 65% rate. Additionally, engineering plastics are corrosion-resistant, which can be particularly important for EV components that are exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Furthermore, as the demand for EVs continues to grow, manufacturers are looking for ways to reduce costs and improve production efficiency. Engineering plastics can be molded into complex shapes and offer greater design flexibility than traditional materials, which can help reduce manufacturing costs and improve assembly efficiency.
Some of the major players operating in the market include BASF SE; SABIC; LyondellBasell Industries Holdings B.V; Evonik Industries; Covestro AG; DuPont; Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd; LG Chem.; Asahi Kasei Corporation; Mitsubishi Engineering-Plastics Corporation. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.
Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst rensin, the polypropylene segment held a dominating share of the market in 2021”
Based on rensin, the market is segmented into polypropylene, polyamide, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, and others. The polypropylene segment is expected to garner the largest market share in 2021 and is expected to maintain a similar growth trend throughout the forecast period. One of the primary reasons for the interest in polypropylene for EV plastics is its low cost compared to other materials like engineering plastics. This makes it an attractive option for manufacturers looking to reduce costs while maintaining the necessary performance and safety requirements.
“Amongst application, the exterior segment held a dominating share of the market in 2021”
On the basis of application, the market is segmented into interior and exterior. The exterior segment held the largest market of the EV engineering plastic market. The growth of the segment is attributed to its features such as weight reduction, Plastic is much lighter than other materials such as metal, which is commonly used for car exteriors. EVs are designed to be as lightweight as possible to maximize their driving range, and plastic helps to achieve that goal. Furthermore, Plastic can be more durable and resistant to damage from the elements than other materials. This is important for EVs, which often have aerodynamic designs and are meant to be driven at high speeds. Plastic is also easier to repair or replace than metal in case of damage.
“APAC dominated the EV Engineering Plastic market in 2021”
APAC dominated the EV plastics market in 2021 and is expected to maintain this position throughout the forecast period. The adoption of electric vehicles is growing rapidly in the countries such as China and India, driven by government regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions and increasing environmental sustainability. This is driving the demand for lightweight and high-performance plastics in electric vehicles. Also China is the manufacturing hub for companies like Tesla which is expected to further drive the market during the forecast period.
