One of the most significant trends emerging in this space is the strategic shift toward green materials, especially those that support a circular economy and reduce the industry's environmental footprint.
In the report “Green Materials in Cars: A Strategic Analysis” by our Global Knowledge Partner Frost & Sullivan, key developments and strategic considerations for automotive OEMs are explored. It highlights how recycled plastics and metals are becoming mainstream due to their low cost and environmental benefits, while natural plant fibers offer promising, though slightly more expensive, lightweight alternatives. However, the broader adoption of these materials is influenced by global economic uncertainties and shifting regulatory landscapes, particularly in regions like the United States.
This insightful analysis is essential reading for anyone involved in automotive innovation, sustainability, or supply chain strategy. It not only maps current material usage trends but also outlines the economic and political variables that will shape their future viability.
