Last year, almost all of the largest companies in the electric utility and automotive industries were lagging behind in hitting their carbon budgets. The study by CDP, World Benchmarking Alliance and ADEME detailed that nearly all the companies still rely on fossil fuels and that 7% of vehicles sold are low carbon while just 3 of 50 electric utilities are hitting International Energy Agency guidelines on carbon emissions.

According to a separate study, the global car industry will grow as automakers strive to reduce CO2 emissions during the next three to five years.

The stringent regulations for original equipment manufacturers’ (OEMs) to meet sustainability targets will drive the automotive plastics sector. The analysis found that OEM's need for lightweight materials expedites the automotive plastics industry. The market will likely reach $45.07 billion by 2028 from $31.29 billion in 2021, an uptick at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%.  

To reap the benefits of expanding the global automotive plastics industry, companies can:

• Materialize gains by collaborating with OEMs to develop and scale plastic-based components, especially battery housings.
• Partner with component manufacturers to develop recycled grades that ensure performance on par with components made from virgin resin.
• Ensure zero-to-minimal signal interference and seamless signal transmission and receipt.
• Create growth opportunities by developing hybrid or thermoplastic composites to create lighter components without significantly increasing costs.
