The growth in demand for electric and hybrid vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the injection molded automotive parts market in the coming years. The demand for electric and hybrid vehicles refers to the adoption of EVs and hybrids in global markets, driven by stricter emissions regulations, environmental sustainability goals, and advancements in battery technology. The primary factor driving the growth in demand for electric and hybrid vehicles is the increasing focus on environmental sustainability, stricter emissions regulations, and advancements in battery and powertrain technologies, which enable automakers to produce fuel efficient, low emission, and technologically advanced vehicles. Injection molded automotive parts support the development of lightweight, high precision, and cost efficient components, enhancing vehicle performance and aiding the automotive industry’s shift toward sustainable and energy efficient mobility. For example, in January 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration, a U.S. based agency that supports state and local governments, reported that the U.S. Federal Government aims to ensure that 50 percent of all new vehicles sold by 2030 are zero emission vehicles, a target much higher than current adoption rates, while also planning to create a comprehensive and equitable network of 500,000 chargers to improve EV accessibility for both local and long distance travel. Therefore, the growth in demand for electric and hybrid vehicles is driving the injection molded automotive parts market.

Prominent companies operating in the injection molded automotive parts market are emphasizing the development of advanced solutions such as high-performance polyamide materials to replace metals, achieving vehicle lightweighting while enhancing thermal stability, chemical resistance, and long-term durability. These materials play a crucial role in electric vehicles (EVs), where high-voltage components demand superior safety and reliability. High-performance polyamides offer flame retardancy, resistance to electro-corrosion, and stability under extreme heat and humidity, making them ideal for use in connectors, inverters, and battery systems. For instance, in June 2025, BASF, a Germany-based chemical company, introduced **Ultramid Advanced N3U42G6**, a non-halogenated flame-retardant polyamide 9T engineered to improve the safety and performance of high-voltage connectors in EV inverters, DC-DC converters, and battery systems. This innovation delivers robust, halide-free, and durable material properties, enabling components to endure demanding operating conditions while supporting the automotive industry’s transition toward safer and more efficient electric mobility solutions.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The swift increase in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the machinery sector by increasing costs for steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings critical components often imported from tariff-affected regions. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery now face squeezed margins, as many long-term contracts prevent immediate price adjustments. The uncertainty has also delayed investment in automation and smart machinery technologies, slowing productivity gains. To adapt, firms are accelerating local supplier development, redesigning products to use alternative materials, and leveraging predictive maintenance to extend equipment lifespans amid higher replacement costs.
