Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2022022 | Category : Plastics and Polymers | Delivery Format: /

The global market for electric vehicle plastics is projected to have considerable CAGR of around 27.5% during the forecast period. The major factors that propels the electric vehicle plastics market include growing demand of light weight plastics in electric vehicle, growing demand of electric vehicle, and others. Lightweight plastics play a significant role in the electric vehicle industry. The application various plastics type such as ABS, and others are likely to increase significantly over the decade owing to the fact that even a 10% reduction in vehicle weight yields 6.5% reduction in fuel consumption. Owing to this, application of plastic components in the electric vehicle industry has been growing over the last decades. The plastics are used mainly to make cars more energy efficient by reducing weight, together with providing durability, corrosion resistance, toughness, design flexibility, resiliency and high performance at low cost.

Segmental Outlook  

The global electric vehicle plastics market is segmented based on plastics type and vehicle type. Based on the plastic type, the market is further classified into polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyamide (PA), polycarbonate (PC), polyurethane (PU), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and others (Polypropylene).  On the basis of vehicle type the market is further segregated into hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), battery electric vehicle (BEV),  and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). The BEV segment is projected to have significant share due to government initiatives for the adoption of electric car across the globe.

Global Electric Vehicle Plastics Market Share by Plastic Type, 2019(%)

Global Electric Vehicle Plastics Market to be driven by ABS

Among plastic type, the ABS segment held a considerable share in the market owing to the significant application in electric industry owing to light weight and other benefits. The ABS material is specialized for reliable fuse deposition modelling without carbonization in the print nozzle. In addition, the added Carbon in ABS-ESD7 increases its strength and stiffness by about 10% to enhance its electrical conductivity. The features of styrene-based materials include simplicity of production, durability, high performance, and flexibility of design. They can provide excellent hygiene, sanitation, and safety benefits. These products provide good insulation qualities, making complete use of natural resources and the ability to be recycled where collection systems are made available.  Due to these properties the application of ABS components in the electric vehicle industry has been increasing over the last decades.

Regional Outlook 

Geographically, the global electric vehicle plastics market is further classified into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Rest of the World. North America is projected to hold significant growth in the global electric vehicle plastics market. California and US states that have adopted zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV) mandates and/or have stated an intention to continue to improve vehicle fuel economy. Other parts of the United States are slower to adopt electric vehicle, bringing the overall electric vehicle sales share to 8% of the US vehicle market in 2030. Therefore the growing adoption of electric vehicle further projected the market growth.

Asia-Pacific to hold a considerable share in the global electric vehicle plastics market

Geographically, Asia-Pacific is projected to hold a significant market share in the global electric vehicle plastics market. The market is mainly driven by the increasing demand of light weight electric vehicle in automotive industry in the region. The major countries which will have a significant market share during the forecast period are India, China, and Japan. Apart from those countries, South Korea, Australia, Thailand, and Indonesia projected to contribute significantly in the market growth. Moreover, Electric car deployment has been growing rapidly over the past ten years, with the global stock of electric passenger cars passing 5 million in 2018, an increase of 63% from the previous year. Around 45% of electric cars on the road in 2018 were in China, which is 2.3 million. In comparison, Europe accounted for 24% of the global fleet, and the US 22%. This, in turn, contributes to the demand for plastics for electric vehicle.
