The plastic segment is estimated to grow during the forecast period. The market for polycarbonates, ABS and polyurethanes, is estimated to grow at the fastest rate in terms of value over the next five years. This is owing to the increased use of plastic in automobile interiors, such as the dashboard, seats, interior roofs and the instrument panel as well as part of the exteriors like fenders.

Plug-in hybrid vehicle is the largest growing vehicle type in the EV segment. The use of lightweight materials is the highest in electric vehicles, as these use batteries for propulsion and any reduction I weight would directly improve their range. Reduction of CO2 emissions at fleet level contributes to higher sales of battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles. The major challenge is to increase the range of such vehicles. Hence, the trend of light weighting is more applicable in this case because it would reduce the weight of the vehicle and increase their range.

The North American region is the fastest growing in the automotive lightweight materials market, and the chassis and suspension sub segment is expected to grow at a rapid rate. Low interest rates and falling gas prices have led to an increase in the demand for passenger cars in the region. The demand for light trucks and vans has also witnessed a rapid growth, in this region. This is due to the CAFÉ fuel emission standards that mandate low CO2 emissions and hence OEMs are concentrating on light weighting their vehicles.
