Automotive lightweight materials have been witnessing robust growth during the past couple of years, due to the increasing demand for luxurious, low-on-emission, safe, and high-performance vehicles. As a result, suppliers and manufacturers have introduced various solutions that not only help OEMs meet continually tightening regulations, but also satisfy the widening range of consumer personal taste. TPVs have superior strength, high-temperature mechanical properties, hot oil and solvent resistance, and better compression set than partially-cured material. These materials are blends of elastomers, typically rubbers, including EPDM, EPR, SBS, polybutadiene (BR), or butyl rubber (IIR), dispersed in a relatively small amount of thermoplastic matrix, typically polyethylene or polypropylene. Thermoplastic vulcanizates contain 60-70% EPDM and 30-40% impact polypropylene. Typical TPV applications in the automotive industry include hose coverings, gaskets, seals, convoluted boots, vibration dampeners, air inlet duct covers, bushings, strut covers, ignition components, and window seals. Cost is the biggest advantage, with TPVs being 10-30% lower than EPDM, coupled with lower weight, improved design flexibility, and recyclability. Furthermore, the light weight of TPV enables more fuel-efficient vehicles. Every 10% reduction in vehicle weight is estimated to result in a 5-7% reduction in fuel usage.

Primarily owing to the increased a doption in consumer electronics, th e demand for supercapacitors increased significantly over the past few years. While Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9 came with a nifty new feature: the S Pen stylus Bluetooth, and could be charged instantly using a supercapacitor, several smartphone manufacturers invested in next-gen battery design to better protect against drops and weath er condi tions tha t drove the growth of smartphon e supercapacitors.  Moreover, with automotive manufacturers emphasizing on reducing dependency on the oil sector and governing bodies imposing stringent environmental regulations, growth prospects for the el ectric vehicles is expected to be promising. This has led the supercapacitor manufacturers to explore profitable opportunities in the rapidly-evolving automotive industry. Due to this, in February 2019, Tesla Inc., a global giant in the automotive and energy industries, acquired Maxwell Technologies Inc., a leading battery technology company for approximately USD 218 million. Following this acquisition, the company aimed to capitalize on lucrative opportunities for electric vehicles, and it planned to add expertise in the field of supercapacitors that could speed up car charging capabilities.

Telematics is the methodology of monitoring the location and movement of a ship through a hardware and software assembly. It also has a combination of Global Positioning System (GPS) and on-boards diagnostics systems. With the help of GPS and diagnostics system, it is possible to record the speed and internal behavior of a ship. Telematics systems are mainly adopted by automobile insurance companies, fleet management companies, and others to monitor the location and behavior of fleets. The global marine telematics market refers to the services and solutions that are adopted to control and monitor ships through a telecommunication device. GPS tracking devices and vehicle diagnostics systems help transmit information to and from the ship computer system. Moreover, A Fleet Telematics System (FTS) allows the exchange of information between a ship fleet and the central authority, which enables them to keep a track of vessel diagnostics and location.

In the recent years, the sales of internal combustion engines, which are the main source of environmental pollution, declined significantly, primarily due to the rising awareness regarding environmental pollution. The pollution caused by automotive had been increasing drastically, since the past few decades, and it is estimated that about 30% of air pollution is primarily due to automotive emission. Sudden increase in automotive pollution considerably impacted the environment, intensifying the threat of air pollution in most of the big cities around the world.

Motor insurance represented 42% of all non-life gross premiums of the overall property and casualty insurance market in 2017. Motor and other traditional P&C lines, both personal and commercial, therefore, is likely to face a sluggish growth in the coming years. Motor insurance is highly correlated with the economic performance of countries. Although advanced economies are showing signs of recovery, motor insurance premiums are likely to remain under pressure, not from disruptive technologies, which drive changes in motor vehicle safety and impact both loss frequency and severity at the same time. The impact on motor insurance is likely to increase, as cars evolve and move up in the level of technological automation, from limited and partial automation to highly and fully automated functionalities. Motor insurance premium growth has been diverging in the advanced and developing markets over the last decade. Premium growth in the more mature advanced markets has stagnated, while motor insurance has expanded rapidly in the emerging markets. The outlook for advanced economies, however, is improving, and is expected to pick up, in line with economic growth over the forecast period. The emerging markets, meanwhile, is expected to slow slightly, but still outperform.

The number of new tire plants and expansion projects has increased in various parts of the United States with South Carolina getting a high share of investments. South Carolina stood as the number one tire-producing state with an estimated daily production of 103,000 units, due to the expansions by Bridgestone Americas, Continental Tire, and Michelin. The tire market in North America is very competitive with continuous investments from major tire manufacturers. With the US automotive industry showing signs of future growth, the tire manufacturers are investing strategically to establish manufacturing sites close to their consumer locations. In 2017, replacement light truck tire shipments reached a high-water mark. There is a continuing competition for small farm tire market shares. This is a developing market, especially on the radial side.

Crude oil and natural gas are the major sources of energy for the automotive industries since many decades. Due to the negative environmental impact by the increasing consumption of crude oil and natural gas worldwide, and high crude oil prices, biofuels, such as bioethanol, are considered as a successful alternative for crude oil and natural gas as a fuel for automotive industries. • Ethanol is the lowest cost octane with octane rating of 113, providing strategies to save lots of money for both manufacturers and consumers. The bioethanol market is directly affected by the consumption of fuel. Since past four decades, ethanol remains as an effective tool to reduce harmful emissions from the automotive. As ethanol is a pure compound with 35% oxygen, it burns more cleanly and completely than petroleum products. Ethanol helps to reduce emissions of air toxics, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, nitrous oxides, and exhaust hydrocarbons, by displacing aromatics in petroleum products.

According to Eurostat, over 75% of inland cargo transports within the European Union, i.e., about 1,750 billion metric ton-kilometer (tkm), travel by road. In some European countries, this percentage goes as high as 90%, or more. ■ As a result, the demand for commercial vehicles has been continually increasing in the region, owing to the growing logistics industry and increasing usage of light commercial vehicles, such as vans (for ride hailing services). The underlying factor driving the growth of the light commercial vehicle market in Europe is the increased preference for pickup trucks and small vans, over heavy-duty trucks and railways, for logistics. Thus, the demand for lightweight vehicle components to integrate into light commercial vehicles is expected to grow significantly, during the forecast period. This, in turn, is expected to augment the demand for high-pressure die casted products, like fuel filters.
