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, the use of bio-plastics in electric vehicles 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 South America is expected to grow from US$ 38.25 million in 2019 to US$ 152.83 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 19.1% from 2020 to 2027. Bio-based plastics involved a diversified range of materials including mass commodity plastics such as Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) along with bio-based Polyethylene (PE), bio-based technical performance polymers and thermoplastic co polyester elastomers (TPC-ET) and many others. With the growing focus on minimizing CO2 emissions, the adoption of bio plastic over recycled plastics in vehicle manufacturing has gained momentum, especially in out-of-sight components, which have significantly contributed in reducing the overall total vehicle weight. Many manufacturers have identified the use of sustainable plastic material in production of electric vehicle to be cost effective and environment-friendly. The prominent automotive manufacturers and suppliers around the globe have significantly increased the use of bio-plastics such as bio-based polyesters, poly-amides, with an objective to substantially minimize the environmental impact of their product. For instance, KIA Soul EV deploys the use of bio-plastics in different interior parts including carpet, door latch, and the seat trims, rather than opting for recycled plastics. Other automakers, which are significantly following the paradigm shift towards the use of bio plastic in electric vehicle production are, Toyota, BMW, and Nissan so as to stay ahead of the curve in the evolving era of the use of green technologies. This is bolstering the growth of the plastic for electric vehicle market.
Brazil has the highest number of COVID-19 cases, followed by Argentina, Peru, Chile, and Ecuador among others. The government of South America has taken an array of actions to protect their citizens and contain COVID-19’s spread. It is anticipated that South America will face lower export revenues, both from the drop in commodity prices and reduction in export volumes, especially to China, Europe, and the United States, which are important trade partners. Containment measures in several countries of South America will reduce economic activity in the manufacturing and service sectors for at least the next quarter, with a rebound once the epidemic is contained.
