Automotive Plastics & Polymer Composites A Roadmap for Future Mobility

Advanced plastics and polymer composites are integral to automotive design. Nearly every quality of the modern vehicle—from safety and performance to efficiency and aesthetics—relies on plastics and, increasingly, polymer composites to meet ever-evolving consumer expectations.

Now, the revolution underway in personal mobility is driving automakers to rapidly invent mobility solutions suited to an autonomous, connected, electrified, and environmentally responsible automotive future. To do so, automotive designers need new material solutions. Advanced plastics and polymer composites will continue to be essential on this journey to the future of mobility.

Radical change is happening in the role of the vehicle and the ways people move from one place to another. Transformative technological, cultural, and economic megatrends are converging to reshape “personal mobility,” creating a demand for new material solutions that plastics and polymer composites are ready to provide. Take a closer look at these megatrends.
