Environmental issues and energy efficiency have increasingly thrown the automotive industry in the direction of plastics usage. The trend towards lightweight vehicles has resulted in an average of a 20% dip in weight per vehicle.

A high-performance engineering resin, polycarbonate is heat resistant, tough, transparent and light-weight, making it an ideal material choice for automotive parts and electrical components. The glass used in car windshields, windows, headlights, taillights, sun and moon roofs are rapidly being replaced with polycarbonate.

Given the automotive market's increasing use of plastics, the resin is set to see a spike in demand, changing the polycarbonate gameplay and affecting upstream phenol and acetone.
