Automotive Sector Deploys Injection Molded Plastics for Lightweight Vehicles

The automotive sector utilizes high volume of injection molded plastics for manufacturing automobile parts to reduce the overall vehicle weight. Automakers are focusing on producing lightweight vehicles to enhance fuel efficiency. Plastics are an imperative component of any vehicle and the incorporation of these plastics provides a substantial weight reduction. Thus, the soaring demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles will propel the injection molded plastics market at a CAGR of 6.0% during 2017–2025. The market stood at $283.5 billion in 2016 and it is expected to reach $496.2 billion by 2025.

Moreover, the rising preference for biodegradable polymers among producers of medical devices has led to the widescale consumption of injection molded plastics, globally. Besides, the implementation of stringent regulations about the use of medical-grade polymers in the healthcare industry will propel the demand for these plastics in the coming years. The medical device manufacturers use injection plastics in the production of test tubes, beakers, implantable components, surgical equipment, drug delivery equipment, and casings and housings for laboratory and medical equipment.

Furthermore, Europe also uses a considerable quantity of injection molded plastics, due to the surging ingestion of packaged foods and the strong presence of established players. Other regions, such as North America, Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Central South America (CSA), also consume a notable volume of such plastics, due to their rising applications in the construction, automotive, and medical sectors. In North America, the U.S. is expected to be the larger consumer of these plastics, owing to their widescale usage in the production of household and medical items in the country.   

In recent years, key market players have increased their focus on product launches and geographical expansion to consolidate the competition. For example, DowDuPont Inc. established its new ethylene and plastics plant in Freeport, in September 2017, to produce 1.5 million metric tons of ethylene every year.

Thus, the widening application of injection molded plastics in the medical, packaging, and automotive sectors will fuel the production and consumption of these plastics in the coming years.
