Automotive resins are used for their features such as high resistance capacity against heat, high mechanical strength, and affinity towards metals

It’s being expected that by 2028, the Automotive Resin market cap will hit USD 715.93 billion  at a CAGR growth of about 4.4%. 

Covid-19 Impact on Automotive Resins Market

The pandemic had a great impact on the global economy in various industries since the lockdown was imposed. The travel bans and shutdown of the business had brought a huge impact on all industries over globe. Thus the global automotive resins market is also undergoing significant dips owing to the prolonged social distancing norms and interruptions in the manufacturing sector. Due to stringent deficit in the raw materials along with degraded workforce capacities, the end-use industries are undergoing a significant growth deficit, in turn affecting the growth and performance of the global automotive resins market as well. However, market participants are quickly restructuring their plans to revive the lost growth and steer a progressive growth trajectory. Banking on readiness, agility, and mindful initiatives taken by the players, the global automotive resins market is likely to retract growth eventually, ushering in magnificent growth in the forecast years.

High Demand for Polypropylene to Increase the Market Growth

The global automotive resins market is showing rapid growth due to the increase in demand for polypropylene in automotive manufacturing. Polypropylene is used more in automotive industry for auto parts as they are lightweight, chemical resistant, and cost-effective. The growing population and changing lifestyle of the consumer have increased the preference for individual vehicles, which indeed supports the automotive resins market expansion.

Glass Fibre to Hold the Largest Share in the Automotive Resins Market in Value and Volume

Glass fibre is accounted to hold the overall largest share in the market. Glass fibres are reinforced composite that is composed with a number of tiny glass fiber particles. Glass fibers are used as the reinforced element in the resins as it is superior, stable, and lightweight and glass fiber is the first choice in the automotive industry manufacturers as it has the highest heat resistance and moisture resistance, thus suitable for unfavorable climatic conditions as well.

Composite Application is to be the Most Lucrative Owing to Cost Efficiency

In the automotive resins market, it is difficult to come out with a new product in the market with a higher price than the existing price. As automotive composites are expensive compared to the other alternative available in the market, but the traditional material advantageous the properties over another alternative in the market such as carbon fiber and thermoplastic.

Lightweight Vehicle to Experience Massive Adoption

The automotive industry is focused on regulation such as Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFÉ), standards and European Emissions Standards (EES), these were brought in by the government of US and Europe for manufacturers of vehicles and the Environment Protection Agency (EPA). These government rules had increased the production for a lightweight vehicle with fuel efficiency features as they reduce the greenhouse gas. These help the automotive industry to use resins material in the automotive products as it is associated with high safety.

Advances in the automotive manufacturing industry to drive growth in the Global Automotive Resin Market owing to their excellent performance in ensuring a smooth finish

Automotive resin is the thermosetting polymer that is made up of organic acids by copolymerization epoxide with the other compounds which have two or more hydroxyl groups. Automotive resins are used in vehicles as they are lightweight and also strengthen the automotive parts. These are applied on the paints, body parts of the vehicles, components of the engine, correction of bumper crack, and others. Automotive resins are well known in various industrial applications for the improved performance owing to their toughness, durability, high stability, and exceptional resistance towards corrosion and chemicals.

Furthermore, automotive resin is used in paints for coating the surface which increases the durability and efficiency of the surface and gives a better appearance in all environmental conditions. And on the other hand, it safeguards the vehicles from extreme temperature, dangerous foreign particles, and UV radiation. Additionally, the automotive resins are used in various automobile-related products while manufacturing, for products such as carpets and hard seat belts. Resin are also used in the process of injection molding which makes it responsible for the durability of the product.

The increase in vehicle production directly increases the demand for materials that are durable in nature. The challenges and problems faced in automotive resins market, more specifically in the Covid-19 impacted market is lack of raw material availability in the market and high cost price for the automotive resins with appropriate features.
