Polypropylene, polyurethane, polyamide, polyvinyl chloride, and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene are the major polymer types used for the production of automotive parts. On the basis of its comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that the polypropylene, polyurethane, and polyamide segments will show above average growth during the forecast period.

Passenger car, light commercial vehicle, and heavy commercial vehicle are the major vehicle segments of the automotive plastics market. The passenger car segment is expected to show above average growth during the forecast period due to increasing plastic content per vehicle in emerging applications like oil pans, wheel rims, and battery trays. 

Interior, exterior, under the hood, and electrical components are the major application segments of the automotive plastic market. On the basis of its comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that interior and exterior applications will show above average growth during the forecast period.

Europe is expected to remain the largest region due to increasing use of plastic content per vehicle coupled with stringent government regulations to reduce carbon emissions and to increase fuel efficiency. Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period because of high vehicle production and gradually increasing plastic content per vehicle.      

Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include development of recycling technologies for plastics and replacement of PA 66 with cheaper and advanced PA 6. BASF, Lyondellbassell, Du Pont. Co, Borealis AG, Dow Chemicals, solvay, DSM, SABIC, EXXON Mobile and Arkema are the major plastic suppliers in the automotive plastics market.
