Market Overview
The global automotive plastics market in terms of revenue grew at a CAGR of 8.5% from USD 63,796 million in 2020 to USD 81,524 million in 2023. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years with the global automotive plastics market expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2023 to 2028, reaching USD 116,479 million in 2028.
Major plastic components used in automotive applications include polypropylene (PP), polyurethane (PU), poly-vinyl chloride (PVC), ABS and other styrenics, polyamide (PA), and polycarbonate (PC). High performance plastics such as Polyphenylene Sulphide (PPS), Polyphthalamide (PPA), Polyether ether ketone (PEEK), and polyethersulfones (PESU) are also used for specified applications. In terms of raw materials, the Polypropylene (PP) segment dominated the market studied in 2022, holding a substantial share of 31.5%. The valuation of the Polypropylene (PP) segment in 2022 stood at USD 23,417 million, and it is projected to reach USD 32,660 million by 2028.
Rewrite, use formal English, ensure logical flow: The global interior segment market grew at a CAGR of 9.5% from USD 31,721 million in 2020 to USD 41,702 million in 2023. It is expected to continue its rapid growth in the coming years, reaching USD 62,374 million in 2028 at a CAGR of 8.4%. Plastics have revolutionized the interior design of automobiles, offering a range of benefits such as comfort, durability, aesthetics, and noise reduction. They have proven to be an ideal material for creating interior components that enhance the overall driving experience. The key elements of car interior design, including comfort, noise levels, aesthetic appeal, ergonomic layout, and durability, significantly influence consumers’ purchasing decisions. Automotive plastics used in interior must address these aspects efficiently.
