Increase in Demand for Low Emission Products in Automotive Applications and Rise in Demand for Lightweight Vehicles

International legislations and automotive OEMs have identified the need to reduce odor, fogging, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in order to improve air quality and safety of vehicle interiors. Of late, plastic compounders have been focusing on meeting the rising demand for low emission products in automotive interiors. These low emission products blended in plastic compounds conform to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) mandates to reduce the VOC levels. Implementation of stringent regulations against the usage of VOCs in automotive applications is anticipated to boost the plastic compounding market during the forecast period. Furthermore, plastic compounds possess light-weighing properties that result in weight reduction of vehicles. This ultimately lowers fuel consumption. Thus, weight reduction in automotive vehicles enhances fuel efficiency and performance. Increase in production of such lightweight vehicles is estimated to augment the global plastic compounding market during the forecast period.
