NEW YORK, April 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Automotive Plastics Market By Product (ABS, PP, PU, PVC, PE, PC, PMMA, PA), By Application (Power Trains, Under The Hood, Electrical Components, Chassis, Furnishing), Bio-Based Opportunity (PLA, PHA, PCL, PBS) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast, 2012 - 2018 This report by Transparency Market Research analyzes the automotive plastics market from a global perspective and endeavors to portray a detailed and comprehensive collection of data and its analysis on the basis of various market parameters. The report also strives to compile together a macro-view of the complete demand and supply characteristics of automotive plastics by providing historical data from 2009 and a forecast of market segmentation until 2018 along with detailed analyses of revenues and volumes. Plastics find major applications in electrical components and interior and exterior furnishings of automobiles. The majority of the application market for automotive plastics is under the purview of these two application segments accounting for almost 70% of the total consumption. Plastics are also used in other parts in automobiles such as power trains, under the hood and chassis. The market for these applications is expected to show growth over the forecast period. Polypropylene (PP) has been the most widely used plastic in automobiles in recent years and is expected to hold sway for the entirety of the forecast period till 2018. Polyurethane (PU), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) are the other major plastic materials that have been in great demand in automobile manufacturing. Polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyamides (PA) such as nylons and other plastics including polyoxymethylene (POM) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are also in great demand in various automotive applications. Biodegradable plastics are a more environment friendly option to plastics sourced from crude oil and derivatives. After a certain time period these plastics begin their degradation process and are easy to dispose without causing adverse effects on the environment. Starch based and polylactic acid (PLA) based biodegradable plastics have been the most common materials used in the automotive industry. Newer biodegradable plastics such as PHA, PCL and PBS are being used in small quantities for automotive applications. Biodegradable plastics have been analyzed separately as a potential opportunity, the estimates for these plastics have not been included in the overall market estimate and have been provided separately. Traditionally, although North America and Europe have been the biggest markets for plastics in automobiles, Asia Pacific has been the largest consumer of automotive plastics in recent years. This can be attributed to the tremendous growth in the automotive industry in the region and the huge and apparent never-ending demand for automobiles in many economies of Asia Pacific. Europe has been the second largest market for automotive plastics followed by North America and Rest of the World (RoW). The report also aims to provide a detailed analysis of market revenue shares of companies such as BASF SE, Delphi Automotive PLC, Ascend Performance Materials, AkzoNobel N.V., Evonik Industries, Johnson Control Inc., Magna International Inc., Momentive Performance Materials Inc., Solvay Plastics and others. The report also includes a detailed value chain of the automotive plastics market along with a Porter's Five Forces analysis to identify the pros and cons of/for all the upstream and downstream segments, thus enabling a strategy-making process for buyers of automotive plastics, suppliers of raw materials, substitutes, and potential new entrants into the market, based on possibility of forward or backward integration into the various business segments. The report also presents a comprehensive assessment of the stakeholder strategies, winning imperatives for them by segmenting the automotive plastics market as below: Automotive plastics market by product type Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) Polypropylene (PP) Polyurethane (PU) Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) Polyethylene (PE) Polycarbonate (PC) Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) Polyamide (PA) Others Automotive plastics market by application Power trains Electrical components Interior and exterior furnishings Under the hood Chassis Others Biodegradable plastics in automotives Starch based PLA based PHA based PCL based PBS based Automotive plastics have also been segmented by geography and further divided by application and product type in terms of both volumes and revenues in their respective regions: Automotive plastics by geography North America Europe Asia Pacific Rest of the World (RoW)
