PP Compound Market for Automotive Industry to Witness an Incredible Growth by 2031

 In the automobile industry, the demand for polypropylene (PP) compounds is rising due to the increasing number of electric vehicles that are made from lightweight materials. Government securities are also pushing the adoption of long fiber polypropylene compounds. PP compound helps in weight reduction, which contributes significantly to fuel efficiency. PP compound is a cost-effective solution that is driving its demand exponentially. The use of PP compound helps to reduce CO2 emission, which is an environment-friendly aspect of applications of PP compounds in the automobile industry.


The growth in the automotive industry, the evolution of electric vehicles, and the cannibalization of other materials used in the automotive industry by PP compounds are expected to drive the market. The PP compound is an environment-friendly alternative material for manufacturing automotive parts. It is an energy-wise and safety-wise effective alternative to traditional materials such as steel and aluminum. The PP compound is a reusable, high resistance, and cost-effective long-run solution for the automobile industry.

The increasing application areas for PP compound in the automotive industry had led to the surge in different types of PP compounds for varied applications. Mineral field blended with plastics, thermoplastic polyolefins (TPO), thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV), and glass reinforced polypropylene are various application products of PP compounds. A mineral-filled PP compound is used in an automotive exterior that provides strength and durability to vehicles. Glass reinforced PP compound has application in the engine and transmission of a vehicle that replaces traditional usage of metal. TPO and TPV are widely used in closures, bumpers, and fenders owing to their high impact strength. They are also used in interiors for their soft-touch property.

The growth of the PP compound market for automotive industry can be attributed to the growing usage of lightweight materials in ICE vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs). Also, there has been a growing demand for long fiber polypropylene compounds for automotive front-end carriers, instrument-panel carriers, consoles, door panels, underbody shields, and pedals.


Thermoplastic polyolefins (TPO) are used for applications that require high impact strength. TPO is polypropylene compounded with a rubber/elastomer without being vulcanized. Polypropylene compound, which contains vulcanized rubber/elastomer, is termed as thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV). These have high-elastic strength and are used for coverings and tubes. TPO and TPV are widely used in automotive interiors for parts such as instrument panels, center consoles, and interior trims. Interior parts that require good aesthetics along with a soft touch, make use of TPO and TPV.

Personal Care Ingredients Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report 2019-2029

The introduction and proliferation of bio-based ingredients in several industries, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, has been transforming the manufacturing landscape since 2000. Growing consumer inclination toward the adoption of bio-based products due to rising health and environmental concerns is driving the demand for bio-based ingredients in the cosmetics and personal care products. Besides, awareness among consumers regarding the harmful effects of synthetic ingredients chemicals has grown rapidly over the past years. In addition, the availability of green raw materials has also urged large cosmetic firms to develop bio-based cosmetic products. However, limited availability of raw material, due to erratic weather conditions and stringent environmental regulations, can pose substantial hurdles in the production of bio-based ingredients. Thus, leading companies have been focusing on developing new and sustainable ways of producing the ingredi...

Increasing Adoption of Lidar in Construction Applications

  The construction industry is continuously growing and has been witnessing various technological innovations. The construction industry depicts high complexity, steep costs, and low toleration for error, that facilitate the adoption of laser scanning. Lidars have enabled the construction industry to gain 3D models of existing space and build digital plans on those real spaces. Digital collaboration frameworks such as building information modelling (BIM) deliver the value of the scans to every element of a construction team in formats that are best suited to their needs. BIM schematics also provide continuing value to facility maintenance and operation teams. BIS Research Report on Lidar Market Numerous stages of construction projects are scanned for quality assurance, cross-checking with models, and spotting errors. Lidars can also be deployed for quality evaluation of prefabricated materials, allowing an efficient, and cheap evaluation. Furthermore, lidars find applications i...
