Automotive polypropylene market (http://www.strategyr.com/Automotive_Plastics_Market_Report.asp) represents the largest product segment with Europe being the largest market within the segment. Automotive unsaturated polyester market (http://www.strategyr.com/Automotive_Plastics_Market_Report.asp) represents the fastest growing segment over the analysis period.

Automakers today aim for manufacturing lighter vehicles and contribute to optimum fuel consumption. Plastics emerged as a means for reducing the car weight and achieving fuel efficiency. Properties such as corrosion resistance, lightweight, durability, resiliency and toughness spurred use of plastics in automotive parts such as fenders, doors, and bumpers.

On the flip side, applicability of plastics in automotives is limited as engineers lack required expertise for using plastics in structural and powertrain body panels. Automotive plastics also pose health and environmental challenges. Halogenated organic chemicals such as brominated flame-retardants (BFR) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are non-biodegradable, toxic and are associated with health problems.

Further, the deepening recession trend across global markets has created an environment of uncertainty for automakers. Escalating costs of raw materials, increased problems in manufacturing process and limited approval of credit from banks have worsened business conditions for automakers around the world.
