North America Automotive Plastics Market Growth & Trends


The North America automotive plastics market size is anticipated to reach USD 7.37 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The presence of stringent government regulations regarding reducing vehicular emissions is leading automotive manufacturers in the region to use plastics in their vehicles to reduce their weight, which results in declined fuel consumption. This trend is anticipated to lead to the growth of the market in North America over the forecast period.Polypropylene (PP) offers excellent chemical and electrical resistance even at very high temperatures.

It is semi-rigid, translucent, and provides integral hinge properties. PP is relatively lightweight compared to other plastics and is widely used in the automotive sector. It helps reduce the overall weight of vehicles, which, in turn, helps reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. It is used in several end-use industries, such as packaging, electrical & electronics, construction, consumer products, and automotive.Injection molding is a widely utilized plastic molding process in the automotive plastics market. This process is used to mold plastics that can be used as housing covers, light covers & lenses, clips for engine & lighting parts, wiring harnesses, and connectors.

In addition, this process is used to manufacture engine hoses and tubes, entire door handles, console & dashboard radio covers, and other electrical internal components, knobs for shifter levers, buttons, bezel panels, controls & covers for the sunroof and convertible roof assemblies. Growing demand for automotive plastics in interior furnishings, such as seat covers, steering wheels, body & light panels, seat bases, rear package shelves, fascia systems, load floors, and headliners is projected to boost the market growth over the forecast period. Automobile interior accessories, such as fascia systems, steering wheels, body & light panels, and seat covers, are made using various automotive plastics.

Various other internal components, such as headliners, seat bases, and load floors are built entirely from high-performance plastics, such as Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Glass Mat Thermoplastics (GMT) composites, instead of metal, conventional rubber, and other parts.Automotive plastics are engineering plastics known for their enhanced performance that is increasingly used in the automotive industry owing to their versatility. These plastics are ideal for utilization in vehicles, as well as for carrying out required innovations in the automotive industry. In addition, automotive plastics are lightweight, which reduces fuel consumption and increases the range of EVs.
