The global polymers in electric vehicles market reached US$ XX million in 2022 and is projected to witness lucrative growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2030. The market is growing at a CAGR of 69.5% during the forecast period (2023-2030).
In the electric vehicle industry, polymers are essential, particularly for interiors, because of the regulations, standards, and performance criteria. Weight reduction and increased efficiency are necessary for electric vehicles, and the development of newer, lighter-weight vehicles is driving the use of polymers. The higher the efficiency expected, the lighter the weight of the vehicle should be, making polymers a crucial component.
Polyurethane is a strong, lightweight, and durable material that can be used to make various components in EVs such as battery packs, structural parts, and insulation materials. It makes it an ideal material for use in the design and production of EV parts. Moreover, PU is a good insulator, which helps to reduce the heat loss in the battery pack and improve the overall performance of the EV. Therefore, it improves the vehicle's energy efficiency, which is an important factor for consumers in the EV market. Thus, the growing adoption of PU in the EV market owing to its exclusive properties is driving the growth of global polymers in the EV market.
The high cost of polymers in electric vehicles (EVs) is a significant factor restraining the market growth. The high cost of producing materials, such as polyurethane and polypropylene, makes it difficult for manufacturers to produce them at a competitive price point. In turn, it makes it difficult for manufacturers to produce EVs at a competitive price point, limiting consumer adoption of these vehicles. Therefore, the respective factor restricts the market growth.
The COVID-19 analysis includes Pre-COVID Scenario, COVID Scenario and Post-COVID Scenario along with pricing dynamics (including pricing change during and post-pandemic comparing it with pre-COVID scenarios), demand-supply spectrum (shift in demand and supply owing to trading restrictions, lockdown and subsequent issues), government initiatives (initiatives to revive market, sector or industry by government bodies) and manufacturers strategic initiatives (what manufacturers did to mitigate the COVID issues will be covered here).
The global polymers in electric vehicles market is segmented based on type, application, end-user and region.
Battery electric vehicles segment is the largest end-user of global polymers in the electric vehicles market due to their growing popularity and demand. BEVs heavily rely on polymers for several aspects, including battery packs, structural pieces, and insulation materials. Therefore, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are the key factor driving the growth of the global polymers market for electric vehicles.
Asia-Pacific has a leading regional share in the global polymers in the electric vehicles market, owing to the rising regional popularity of electric vehicles. The market share is the highest due to the region's significant emerging markets, including China, India, Japan, and South Korea. Due to the country's increasing manufacturing of electric vehicles, China is the world's biggest consumer of polymers for these vehicles. Recently, the Chinese government engorged the adoption of electric vehicles in their own countries. The Indian government created a plan for India Net Zero Emission 2070, making India the largest electric vehicle consumer in the upcoming years.
The major global players include: BASF SE, Celanese Corporation, Covestro AG, DuPont de Nemours, Inc., Evonik Industries AG, Asahi Kasei Corporation, Kumho Polychem, Lanxess AG, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation, and Solvay.
