Regional Outlook

Utilizing cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, China leads the automotive plastics business. The country produces affordable and high-quality plastic components for domestic and foreign consumers. As China’s middle-class population continues to grow and urbanization accelerates, there is a corresponding rise in the need for automobiles. This surge in automotive demand, in turn, fuels the demand for automotive plastics. Within this landscape, lightweight materials play a critical role in improving efficiency and extending battery life.

Increased investments in lightweight and recyclable plastic components are a result of India’s growing demand for electric vehicles. This encourages the country’s automotive plastic industry. To be more environmentally conscious, Indian automakers are incorporating biodegradable plastics into the interiors of their cars.

Government programs aimed at encouraging domestic manufacturing and reducing reliance on imports impact the Russian automotive plastic industry. Brazil, with its thriving automotive industry, is seeing an increase in the adoption of lightweight plastics to cut emissions and improve fuel efficiency.

“The growing need for lightweight and fuel-efficient automobiles is expected to propel the BRIC automotive plastic industry toward sustainable expansion. There is an increase in adoption of automotive plastic in BRIC countries due to advancements in material science as well as strict safety and emissions standards, which present lucrative opportunities.” comments an analyst at FMI.
