The North America automotive plastics for exterior trim market size is expected to reach USD 28.65 million by 2028, according to a new report by the publisher. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2021 to 2028. The North American market is anticipated to grow due to the use of plastics in the manufacturing of exterior trim components, such as front grills, spoiler, pillar panels, and rear bumpers for lightweight vehicles. Polycarbonate/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (PC/ABS) blends have emerged as a suitable material for manufacturing automotive exterior trims. Their good impact strength at cold temperatures, high-temperature stability, and processability to injection molding makes them suitable for front grills.
The prominent vehicle manufacturers in North America are shifting towards electric vehicles and are investing significantly to attain their vehicle electrification goals. For instance, in September 2021, Ford Motor Company announced to invest USD 11 billion to boost electric vehicle production. It plans to transform at least 40% of its fleet to be battery-powered within nine years. The growing investment in electric vehicles is expected to drive the demand for automotive plastics for exterior trim.
Key players are carrying out strategic initiatives such as mergers and acquisitions to strengthen their position in the North American market. For instance, in December 2020, U.S.-based Trinseo S.A. announced its decision to acquire the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) business of Arkema valued at USD 1.39 billion (EUR 1.14 billion). This strategic initiative is expected to result in Trinseo S.A. gaining control over 7 production sites (4 in Europe and 3 in North America).
Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) exhibits excellent weathering resistance, high impact strength, and chemical resistance, resulting in the increased usage of ASA in radiator grills and mirrors. Plastic resin manufacturers are setting up manufacturing facilities as a part of their expansion plan to strengthen their position in North America. In 2019, INEOS announced setting up an ASA resin manufacturing facility in Texas, U.S.
