Heavy-duty vehicles include tractors, loaders, scrapers, excavators, heavy trucks, combine harvesters, and buses. The rising penetration of plastic components in heavy-duty vehicles is due to the high demand for lightweight vehicles and associated lightweight components in vehicle applications. There are two varieties of plastics, namely, thermoplastic and thermosetting. The thermoplastic category primarily includes polyamide (PA), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and polycarbonate (PC); while thermosetting includes polyurethane (PU). They are the main materials for plastic components in heavy-duty vehicle applications. Such plastics are widely incorporated in the manufacturing of various components for heavy-duty vehicles. Some of the components that require plastics to manufacture are engine cover, transmission cover, intake air modules, oil pan module, cam cover module, cluster panel/dashboard, bumper, seating, wheel & tire, door, interior & exterior trim, windows & windshields, and electronics. 

The growing agriculture and construction industries are likely to drive the demand for heavy-duty vehicles over the forecast period. However, the growing awareness about the inability of plastic components to biodegrade naturally is likely to be a major restraint on the global Automotive Plastics market over the forecast period. If incinerated, plastic components release carbon monoxide and other toxic gases into the environment. Due to this, end users in the market are likely to demand biodegradable plastics over the coming years. This is likely to remain a major opportunity for players in the Automotive Plastics market over the forecast period.
