Automotive plastics refers to a polymer used in automotive vehicles to design and produce parts that provide mechanical strength, withstand shear stress, wear metal stress, offer aesthetic appearance, and are utilized in making the automotive body. These plastic components mainly replace the various metal parts in automobiles as they provide similar properties such as stiffness, flame retardancy, and others. The main types of automotive plastics are polypropylene (pp), polyurethane (PU), polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyamide (pa), and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (abs), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polycarbonate (pc), and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Polypropylene (PP) automotive plastics refer to a thermoplastic polymer that is tough, rigid, and crystalline. The various applications of automotive plastics are interior, exterior, and under the bonnet, which are used in conventional/traditional vehicles, and electric vehicles. The global automotive plastics market is segmented - 1) By Vehicle Type: Conventional/Traditional Vehicles, Electric Vehicles 2) By Product Type: Polypropylene (PP), Polyurethane (PU), Polyvinylchloride (PVC), Polyamide (PA), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polycarbonate (PC), Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) 3) By Application: Interior, Exterior, Under Bonnet The global automotive plastics market size grew from $36.49 billion in 2022 to $40.3 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The automotive plastics market size is expected to grow to $56.02 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 8.6%. The increase in demand for lightweight and electric vehicles is significantly contributing to the growth of the automotive plastics market. The increase in the use of plastic components in the automotive industry has boosted the advancements in the design of automobiles. It also reduces the consumption of fuel in vehicles, as less weight requires less energy when the vehicle is accelerated. For instance, in April 2022, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, a Belgium-based automotive industry standards group, 79.1 million automobiles were produced in 2021, a 1.3% rise from 2020 across the globe. Therefore, the increasing demand for lightweight and electric vehicles is driving the growth of the automotive plastics market. Major players in the automotive plastics market are BASF SE, Borealis AG, Covestro AG, DuPont, Evonik Industries, SABIC, Magna International, Inc., Akzo Nobel N.V., Arkema SA, Grupo Antolin-Irausa S.A., LyondellBasell Industries Holdings BV, Momentive Performance Materials Inc., Teijin Limited, The Dow Chemical Company, and Zoltek Companies Inc. Technological advancements are a key trend gaining popularity in the automotive plastics market. Technological advancement is the discovery of knowledge that advances the understanding of technology. For instance, in 2021, Covestro AG launched a new 3D printing material, recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate (rPET), which is used for 3D pellet printing using technology known as fused granulate fabrication (FGF), which helps in the manufacturing of large-sized parts. This technology has applications in the automotive industry for the manufacturing of interior parts.

The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the retail and wholesale markets in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in the manufacture and trade of non-essential goods and an overall decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of "lock down" and the outbreak having a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the retail and wholesale markets will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. The retail and e-commerce markets are increasingly investing in drones to reduce delivery times and increase profitability. A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is remotely controlled or flies autonomously using software-controlled flight plans in its systems. Using a drone for delivery allows retailers to cut costs and help provide customers with their products earlier than traditional delivery methods. For example, Amazon has been investing in its Prime Air deliveries via drones, which claim to complete the delivery within 30 minutes. Amazon has started delivery trials via drones in the UK but is still waiting for regulatory approval in the US. Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the retail and wholesale market in 2022.

The retail and wholesale markets consist of revenue earned by entities by retailing and wholesaling merchandise. Retailers sell merchandise to the general public for personal or household consumption, but some also serve business and institutional clients. Wholesalers sell merchandise to other businesses and normally operate from a warehouse or office. This includes merchant wholesalers that sell goods on their own account and agents and brokers that arrange sales and purchases for others generally for a commission or fee. Retailers and wholesalers take ownership of the goods and bear the risk of carrying inventory. They also reduce the total number of transactions required for the process of transferring goods from producers to consumers. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. Only goods and services traded between entities or sold to end consumers are included. The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD, unless otherwise specified).
