Current environmental and economic concerns have made making of more fuel-efficient cars a top consideration in the automotive industry. In July 2011, the U.S government declared a treaty with the top 13 automakers to upsurge fuel productivity to 55.5 miles per gallon for cars and light duty trucks by 2025. Passenger vehicles would be required to attain 5% annual improvements, and light commercial vehicles with 3.5% annual improvements. This agreement is anticipated to positively contribute towards U.S. automotive plastics Industry as usage of plastic components leads to weight reduction of car which improves fuel efficiency.
Advantages of using plastic components in vehicles leads to minimal corrosion, substantial design liberty and elasticity in integrating components along with easy recyclability. Automobile manufacturers are focused on improving the visual parameters due to growth in competition. Plastic offers essential flexibility in terms of vehicle designs and leaves scope for differentiation as compared to steel or any other metal. All these factors are anticipated to drive the automotive plastics market.
