Market Introduction
Plastics, now-a-days can be an electric conductor and also an insulator. It plays a unique role in the various parts of electric vehicles. As a thermoplastics polymer, the high versatility and easy mold ability of plastics enable them to be produced in various shapes and design suiting the requirement of the electric vehicle. The plastics for electric vehicles reduced the weight of electric vehicles that provide greater range between recharges. A number of plastics offer excellent heat resistance which enable the construction of battery compartments and cooling systems and do not sacrifice the durability & safety provided by the electric vehicles. Also, the injection molded plastics are less costly as compared to the metal components, which attracts the attention of the manufactures of electric vehicles. Thus, adoption of lightweight materials in an urge to minimize vehicle weight is expected to create a significant demand for plastic in the coming years, which is further anticipated to drive the plastic for electric vehicle market.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The plastic for electric vehicle market in Europe is expected to grow from US$ 245.77 million in 2019 to US$ 1013.47 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 19.6% from 2020 to 2027. Plastics are considered as light weight, durable, versatile and economical materials which have the ability to be used in diversified industrial applications. Further, plastic is known to possess several attributes such as minimal carbon emission along with reduction in the dependency on petroleum, which has significantly driven its demand in production of electric vehicle. Parts of electric vehicle such as fans, casings, energy recovery devices, pumps, and other non-moving parts are produced using plastics so as to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle without compromising on the performance aspects of the vehicle. This has propelled the growth of the electric vehicle plastics market worldwide. For instance, the weight of the vehicle is reduced up to 40%, when plastics are used in place of other metals. Also, the use of high performance polymers and elastomers assist in effective integration of components and functions. The growing focus towards reduction of carbon emissions or dependence on petroleum is also promoting the demand for plastic in electric vehicles. For instance, stringent emission standards implemented across economies such as Germany and U.K., have compelled the automotive manufacturers to produce fuel-efficient vehicles. In order to attain fuel efficiency, it is quite imperative to reduce the weight of vehicles and their components, by using plastics. Therefore, the demand for electric vehicle plastic is set to rise.
In Europe, Russia, France, Spain, UK, Italy and Germany have also been hit hard and are expected to suffer an economic hit due to a lack of revenue from various industries. Other member states have implemented drastic measures and travel restrictions, including partially closing their borders. This is anticipated to impact market growth in Europe.
