Materials such as plastics, composites, or fibers must absorb energy primarily because bumpers absorb energy. Starting several decades ago, reinforcement was used with steel and aluminum, and spring or hydraulic protective equipment for vehicles. Modern bumpers are made of plastic, aluminum and wrought iron. The manufacturers chose a high-performance plastic material for the bumper because plastic is such an important material. To develop new products, automotive plastic bumper manufacturers invest in an R&D program. Automotive plastic bumpers are being developed to improve safety for vehicles and pedestrians.

Composite Plastics Making a Big Appearance in Bumper Manufacturing: Since plastic is such an important material, manufacturers chose high-performance plastics for bumpers. Vehicles that use lightweight plastics that are suitable and efficient can be very fuel efficient. For every ten percent reduction in vehicle weight, it is estimated that fuel consumption decreases between 5 percent and 7 percent in terms of reproducibility and manufacture, and reusability. Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer commonly used in bumper construction. PP accounts for 32% of all high-performance plastics needed in automobiles. ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a copolymer that makes automotive body parts more resilient, stronger and warmer. Polycarbonate (PC) is a material that combines stiffness, rigidity and toughness in one. Due to its features, it is ideally suited for automotive bumpers and therefore extensively used in the industry.

Asia-Pacific dominates the global market with the presence of major automotive manufacturers in China, Japan, India and South Korea. China has become the largest automotive market in the world and is estimated to play a major role in influencing the global automotive bumper market forecast over the next few years. Findings from the latest car bumper market study show that government incentives to promote EVs and improve safety standards in China have impacted the market. Light and compact cars are the trend in India. In this market, budget-friendly bumpers are generally preferred. However, the demand for safety features is also growing. Also, automakers in Japan emphasize on technical and safety features for their vehicles, which can influence the design of bumpers. Japan also plays an important role in the global supply chain of bumper products and accessories.
