Automotive Plastics are specialty plastic materials that are used to enhance the safety, performance, and functionality of vehicles. Automotive plastics such as polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PU), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and others have flourishing applications in automotive interiors, exteriors, under the bonnet, and other vehicle components. The superior properties of plastics such as flexibility, corrosion resistance, thermal insulation, and noise reduction for applicability in light commercial vehicles for maximum fuel efficiency are creating a drive in the automotive plastics industry. The covid-19 pandemic disrupted the growth and functioning of the market. The halt in production, demand and supply gap, and other lockdown restrictions resulted in a slowdown. However, with robust demand and recovery in major end-use industries, along with growing automotive vehicle production, the automotive plastics market is anticipated to rise during the forecast period.
