The Global Electric Vehicle Polymers Market is valued at USD 3.78 Billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 58.4% during the forecast period from 2020 to 2028. The major factors that are contributing to the growth of the market are, an increasing trend towards low pollution, environment-friendly cars and technological advancements in automotive engineering to produce lightweight vehicles that can meet the required environmental norms and standards.

Electric vehicles are the innovation in the transportation history that mainly use one or several motors powered by fuel cell, battery, solar panels, or generators, which are installed in vehicles for propulsions. Many innovators from Hungry, Netherlands, and the U.S. tried the concept of battery-operated vehicles and succeeded to develop a concept small scale electric vehicle model in early 1800. But in 1890, William Morrison, who was by profession a chemist, developed an electric vehicle that was capable of carrying six persons and which attained a speed of 14 miles per hour. And from that time, development of technologies, growing R&D expenditure, and increasing environment-related norms and regulations led the development of electric vehicles that can be used for passenger and commercial purposes.

Electric vehicles are made with various parts and components, made mainly from composites, plastics, and other lightweight materials that can replace metal parts and components to reduce the weight of vehicles. As these vehicles are lightweight, they provide maximum fuel efficiency and pollution reduction (up to 45%) compared to conventional vehicles. Electric vehicle polymers are the type of polymers that are mainly used to manufacture various products and components used in electric vehicles. These polymers are mainly engineering plastics or elastomers that provide superior stiffness, thermal and mechanical stability, and durability, along with dimensional stability. Various interior and exterior parts and components such as dashboard, panel, bumper, wheel house, trim, powertrain, under hood components, door components, and roof components, among others, are made from polymers.
