28-Dec-16 Carbon thermoplastics in automotive sector is extensively preferred owing to properties such as design flexibility, lightweight, durability, and uniform surface. It helps to reduce vibrations, noise and weight, engine covers, make single-piece clutch cylinders, gear-lever housing, accelerator and parking brake pedals, air intake manifolds, shift control cables, and fuel system and cooling system components. Carbon thermoplastics are most useful in enhancing fuel efficiency, and reducing vehicle weight. Carbon thermoplastics are also used in roof, body-in-white, trunk-lid or deck-lid, doors, hood, fenders, and others.
As per Zion Market Research, changing consumer preferences for carbon thermoplastics in automotive may drive the global carbon thermoplastics market in automotive in the near future. Increasing disposal income of the middle class people also influences the global market in positive way. In addition, rising standard of living is projected to propel the global carbon thermoplastics market in automotive in future. Moreover, higher spending power of the people in the automotive sector is expected to drive the carbon thermoplastics market in automotive. Conversely, huge rise in the prices of the material may restrain the growth of the high-end cars production in carbon thermoplastics market in automotive.
