The technological advancement of new polymer materials and enhanced performance indicators, including strength, durability, and thermal stability, has facilitated their further application areas. These are the factors that are materially contributing to the weight of polymers in electric vehicles, especially the powertrain and battery systems. The demand for polymers is also triggered by the enhanced power-to-weight ratio that is required by car manufacturers in their efforts to create lighter automobiles with better fuel efficiency and longer ranges without frequent recharging. The market growth will be driven by a rising trend of using polymers for the production of charging systems and the interior and exterior of EVs.
  • There are also certain restrictions placed on the automobile industry by governments and bodies such as the EPA regarding the emissions standards and incentives to encourage the usage of EVs. These are some of the factors that are pushing the market for electric vehicle polymers forward. The Officials are coming up with measures that encourage the use of EVs, which include tax credits, subsidies, and expenditure on charging points. These policies are fostering increased use of green vehicles especially electric cars, and hence increasing demand for polymers in making electric vehicles. This is due to the anticipated increase in demand for electric vehicles in the near future. This increase is being driven by the growing adoption of electric vehicles in specific regions, such as the Asia Pacific. Governments in these regions have set ambitious targets for innovation and for reducing negative environmental impact.
