The plastic materials market for electric & hybrid vehicles is projected to grow at a CAGR of 27.82% during the forecast period, to reach a market size of USD 1.49 billion by 2021.

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.
