Polymer composites and new age materials are the product for future. This category of material is likely to gain high demand in near future. Application of polymer composites along with metals in credence can reduce as much as of 20-25/Kg of weight per vehicle. At present weight reduction of vehicle is the top notch priority of automobile industry. The major benefit is it helps in enclosing emission, reducing the overall weight and the final increasing the fuel efficiency of vehicle. Application of this category of polymers turns out to be advantageous in many fields. It reduces the CO2 emission from the vehicle, increases the overall strength of the body, eliminates the chances of using paints on the material and increases the chemical resistance and heat tolerance.

The automobile industry is very much keen to develop and focus more on R&D for this category of products. Poly-Olefins, Poly Propylene composites, engineering plastics and thermoplastic composites are the products more in demand and categorized as future technology.
