Special Engineering Plastics Market Dynamics

The role of plastic in the design and manufacturing of automotive vehicles has never been more essential, with stringent regulations and changing consumer habits driving demand for more affordable, lightweight, and fuel-efficient vehicles. As the most important lightweight car materials, engineering plastics are finding increasingly more applications in the automobile sector. Engineering plastics can reduce the weight of auto parts by 40%. When car deadweight is reduced by every 100kg, per 100km fuel consumption can be reduced by 0.3~0.5L and per km CO2 remission can be reduced by 8~11g. In addition, application of plastic auto parts can improve the functions of auto parts, streamline manufacturing process, improve vehicle comfort and safety, reduce production and maintenance cost and provide greater design flexibility.Engineering plastics can find applications in every part from exterior trim, interior trim to functional components and structural components. Engineering plastics can be modified via physical, chemical or physical/chemical combined approaches, including blending (alloying), copolymerization (grafting) and filler reinforcement. Modification can substantially improve the performance of engineering plastics.
