The rapid electrification of automotive transport, which is being promoted by numerous countries, is a challenge for the automotive industry, but also for many other sectors: Vehicle manufacturers are not only the main customers for steel, glass, and tire rubber, but increasingly also for plastics. Even small changes in the raw materials that are used can have significant economic effects. In 2020, around 14.3 million new passenger cars were registered in Europe. In 2017, this figure even exceeded 18 million units. The market research company Ceresana has now specifically examined the European market for plastics used in passenger cars.

Electric drives use far fewer components than internal combustion engines, and they also change the requirements for raw materials: Less heat in the engine compartment means, for example, that cheaper polymers can be used in some places instead of metals and expensive engineering plastics. Lightweight plastic parts are preferred in electric cars as a way of compensating for the weight of the batteries, which is still a problem. Although the autonomous and fully connected car is still a vision of the future, the number of electrical displays and sensors is already growing steadily. Even batteries contain a lot of plastic in the form of rolled or folded films.

The demand for plastics for passenger cars is subject to many different factors. First and foremost is the number of new vehicles produced, which plummeted temporarily in the wake of the Covid 19 pandemic. In addition to the production of new vehicles, other key figures also determine the plastic consumption of the automotive sector in a given country, such as the current number of passenger cars and the number of driven kilometers. The average age of cars determines, for example, the demand for plastic spare parts, which are needed for repairs. Car sharing and new mobility concepts also have an impact on car sales.
聚丙烯位于极点
使用最广泛的汽车塑料是聚丙烯（PP），例如用于保险杠和照明。对于聚乙烯（PE），电动汽车的趋势可能会成为威胁：HDPE，LDPE和LLDPE等级用于燃烧车，尤其是在发动机舱和燃料系统中。另一方面，PUR主要用于座椅和内饰。Ceresana的最新研究还分析了ABS，PA，PVC，PC，PMMA以及汽车行业中使用的其他塑料的市场数据。市场数据还考虑了不同的应用领域和燃料类型。该研究包括由供应商或车辆制造商制造的所有塑料组件，然后在乘用车中安装在新车和更换零件中。万博平台盘口
