Automotive Plastics Market

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.

The World Market for Plasticised Cellulose Acetates in Primary Forms

With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for plasticised cellulose acetates in primary forms for those countries serving the world market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports. I do so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the world market face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying plasticised cellulose acetates in primary forms? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of plasticised cellulose acetates in primary forms vary from one country to another? Do exporters serving the world market have similar market shares across the importing countries? Which countries supply the most exports of plasticised cellulose acetates in primary forms? Which countries are buying their exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

China’s engineering plastics consumption volume will reach 3.37 million tons

In recent years, engineering plastic has become the fastest-growing type in the plastics industry; the domestic annual consumption volume growth has reached more than 20%. With the sustained economic development, the engineering plastics are widely used in electrical and electronic, automobile, construction, office facilities and other industries; “plastics instead of steel” and “plastics instead of wood” have become the international trend.As of H1 of 2012, there were more than 1,500 engineering plastics producers in China. The regional distribution of these enterprises is unbalanced; at present, China’s main engineering plastics production bases are mainly concentrated in Jiangsu, Shanghai, Henan and Zhejiang, of which, the representative enterprises are Bluestar Chemical, Yuntianhua Group (600096), Shenma Group and Kingfa Scientific and Technological Co., Ltd. (600143). The production bases of modified engineering plastics are mainly concentrated in Guangdong Province.In 2012, the engineering plastics consumption volume in China was about 2.995 million tons, increased by 10.5% over 2011. Huidian Research predicts that the engineering plastics demand volume is likely to continue to maintain the growth rate of more than 10% in the next three to five years. It is estimated that China’s engineering plastics consumption volume will reach 3.37 million tons in 2013, and this number will exceed 4 million and 5 million in 2015 and 2017 respectively.
