The automotive plastic market across BRIC nations—Brazil, Russia, India, and China—is poised for significant expansion, with its value expected to increase USD 155.9 billion by 2035, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. This growth trajectory is fueled by rising vehicle production volumes, a strong industry push toward lightweighting, and stricter regulatory frameworks focused on enhancing fuel efficiency and minimizing emissions. As manufacturers increasingly replace traditional metal components with advanced plastic materials, the market is set to play a critical role in the transformation of the automotive sector in these high-growth economies.
With government policies increasingly focusing on sustainability and vehicle efficiency, plastics are being deployed across applications such as dashboards, bumpers, seating, under-the-hood components, and electrical systems. Technological innovation in polymers, including high-performance composites, recyclable thermoplastics, and bio-based plastics, is further pushing the boundaries of vehicle design and performance in the BRIC region.
