Key Findings
Various grades of plastics are categorized based on their usage, composition, resistance; rigidity, cost, and weight. Their utilities in screw-on attachments in the furnishings to the more cost-intensive body parts in automobiles, everyday utilities, etc.; these materials have made huge headways into various industries, and one of the most profited end users for plastics has been the automotive industry. On top of that, the growing demand for light-weight, fuel efficient and high-performance vehicles from the consumer’s end are expected to inculcate massive investments and raise the manufacturing rate for automotive plastics. The global automotive plastics market is anticipated to raise its growth during the forecasting years of 2019-2027 with quantified and approximated 9.78% CAGR. The global market is expected to grasp a share valued $ 64,164 million by the end of 2027.

Market Insights
Plastics find vast applications within the automotive sector because of their ease of manufacture, possible sourcing from renewable raw materials and relative ease of improved design that turn them into the primary materials for various automotive parts and applications. They reduce vehicular weight alongside improving aesthetics, reducing the noise, vibrations, and cabin insulation. The high cost of raw material necessary to manufacture automotive plastics and massive investments required are expected to pose challenges for the global industry.

Regional Insights
The global automotive plastics market is bifurcated into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Rest of World.
