Global Automotive Interior Plastic Components Market Size By Product (Polypropylene (PP), Polyurethane (PU)), By Application (Passenger Car, Commercial Vehicle), By Geographic Scope and Forecast

Automotive Interior Plastic Components Market Size and Forecast

Automotive Interior Plastic Components Market size was valued at USD 142.86 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 250.08 Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.25% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Automotive manufacturers were under increasing pressure to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Plastic components are lighter than traditional materials like metal, leading to weight reduction in vehicles, which in turn contributes to improved fuel efficiency. Plastic components are often less expensive to produce than their metal counterparts. This cost advantage can help automakers reduce overall production costs and offer more competitive pricing to consumers. The increased demand for materials offering significant emission reduction is the crucial aspect of the rise in the market revenue of Automotive Interior Plastic Components as well as the introduction of new safety features and luxury components will foster market growth.

Global Automotive Interior Plastic Components Market Definition

Plastic is the most suitable material for use in the automotive industry owing to its beneficial properties like scratch resistance, high volume to weight resistance, thermal stability, and impact resistance. These properties in turn ease the operation for automotive component manufacturers by reducing the cycle time for molding and reducing the assembly time for OEMs. Furthermore, shifting consumer preference for passenger cars with an attractive appearance and upgraded aerodynamic shape is pushing manufacturers to use materials like advanced plastic which are easier to mold to the desired shape than other materials.

Whereas, increasing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles, component companies are continuously innovating lightweight automotive parts with advanced plastic material owning until they assist to enhance the functionality, appearance, and safety of automobiles while delivering superior value to consumers. The usage of modern and improved automotive parts, such as a navigation panel and rear vehicle infotainment system, is growing significantly in the premium and mid-range passenger car segments. These components are generally made up of advanced plastic materials, and the aftermarket for such augmented products is increasing in Brazil with the increasing number of vehicles in operation (personal car and in-transit/cab-services).

Global Automotive Interior Plastic Components Market Overview

By using plastic components, the overall curb weight of a vehicle can be reduced as these components are lighter in weight as compared to aluminum and steel. The reduced weight of a vehicle improves its fuel efficiency which further helps to reduce the CO2 emission. Moreover, rising vehicle production, great demand for a lightweight automotive component by OEMs are catering better traction in the Global Automotive Interior Plastic Components Market in the globe.

Moreover, Government regulations to control vehicular emission and shifting consumer preferences are some of the factors which are encouraging OEMs to continue increasing uses of advanced plastic material. ”INOVAR AUTO” programs by the Federal Government of Brazil are profiting the automotive industry in Brazil, which is expected to help the raw material industry such as automotive plastics. Moreover, advanced plastic material is highly preferred by OEM owing to its ease of operation, excellent mouldability, extended warranties as compared to other materials such as steel and aluminum.

The raised cost of advanced plastic material comparable to aluminum may limit the Global Automotive Interior Plastic Components Market during the projection period. There is competition from other materials like high strength steel and aluminum. Steel has the edge when it comes to recycling as plastics are relatively difficult to recycle.
