Market Overview:
The global PBT for automotive market is estimated to be valued at US$ XX Mn in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ XX Mn by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of X.X% during the forecast period. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for lightweight vehicles and rising adoption of electric vehicles. Based on type, the global PBT for automotive market has been segmented into unreinforced grade PBT, glassfiber (GF) reinforced, flame-retardant grade, and others. The GF reinforced segment is expected to account for a major share of the global PBT for automotive market in 2018. This can be attributed to its superior properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio and thermal stability over other types of reinforcements such as carbon fiber or aramid fiber. On the basis of application, the global PBT for automotive market has been classified into connector, light housing & reflector unit (LHRU), door trim panel & inner door handle module (DTIM), seat rail system & backrest frame (SRS), instrument panel (IP), glove box assembly (GBA), sun visor assembly (SVA) among others.
Product Definition:
PBT is a polybutylene terephthalate, a type of engineering plastic. It has good impact strength, dimensional stability and creep resistance over a wide temperature range. PBT is used in automotive applications where these properties are important, such as in connectors and housings for electronic assemblies, fuel system components and under-the-hood parts.
Unreinforced Grade PBT:
Unreinforced grade PBT is a copolymer of styrene and butadiene. It has high heat resistance, flow ability, low shrinkage and good impact strength. Unreinforced grade PBT can be used in applications where high temperature & pressure resistant materials are required such as automotive interiors or exteriors (fenders, hoods).
Glassfiber (GF) Reinforced:
Glassfiber (GF) reinforced plastic (PBT) is a type of polymer blend that contains fibers or granules made from glass and polymers. The product has high tensile strength, elongation, low thermal expansion and good impact resistance.
Application Insights:
Connector application segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2017 and is projected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. It is a cost-effective alternative to metal connectors used in vehicle manufacturing owing to its lightweight property. PBT offers high impact resistance, which helps avoid damage caused by accidental falls on hard surfaces. These factors are likely to drive demand from automotive applications over the coming years.
Light category comprises of headlamps, tailgates, side lamps and other miscellaneous lights such as indicators and turn indicators made using polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). The material offers superior performance characteristics including impact strength, chemical resistance & durability against UV light compared with glass fiber reinforced plastic or conventional plastics used in automotive components.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounted for a volume share of more than 60% in 2017 owing to high product demand from automotive sector. China, Japan, and India are some of the major countries that contributed significantly towards regional growth.
The Asia Pacific PBT for Automotive Market is likely to be driven by rapid industrialization along with growing automobile production in economies such as China, India, Thailand, Indonesia among others. In addition rising investments by governments across various developing nations are anticipated to boost industry expansion over the coming years.
Europe was valued at USD X billion in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period on account of increasing R&D activities related to automotive components coupled with stringent regulations laid down by governing bodies pertaining safety & performance standards for automobiles manufactured within their respective countries or regions such as EEA (European Economic Area).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles
- Rising disposable income of consumers in developing countries
- Proliferation of ride-sharing services
- Development of autonomous driving technology
- Growing popularity of luxury cars
