Battery electric vehicles to be the fastest growing segment in the electric vehicle plastics market

The Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The primary difference in the plastics employed in a BEV compared to a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is the under hood components. The growth of this market is driven by factors such as increasing innovation, environmental concerns, and stringent emission regulations. To promote the growth of BEVs, governments are introducing various tax and non-tax incentives for electric vehicle owners. This in turn supplements the growth of the plastics employed in these BEVs.

Asia-Oceania to be the largest market for electric vehicle plastics market

Asia-Oceania is estimated to dominate the electric vehicle plastics market, and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The region has emerged as a hub for electric vehicles in recent years, with China and Japan as the frontrunners. Governments in Asia-Oceania are also trying to provide incentives to support the demand for electric vehicles. For instance, in Japan, electric vehicles are exempted from acquisition tax and tonnage tax, and have a 50% exemption from automobile tax.
The electric vehicle plastics market is dominated by a few global players, and comprises several regional players. Some of the key manufacturers operating in the market are BASF SE (Germany), The Dow Chemical Company (U.S.), INEOS Capital Limited (Switzerland), SABIC (Saudi Arabia), and Lyondellbasell Industries Holdings B.V. (The Netherlands).
