1 Plastics. The Future for Automakers and Chemical Companies As legislative bodies hammer out laws to reduce man-made emissions, and $150-a-barrel oil seems feasible, it is fair to project that by 2020 plastics will comprise 18 percent of the average vehicle s weight. 1
2 Who could forget the scene in The Graduate when Dustin Hoffman s character Ben Braddock, college degree in hand, is taken aside by older, wiser Mr. McGuire to hear the secret of success? I just want to say one word to you, just one word. Are you listening? Yes, sir, I am, Ben replies. Plastics. There is a great future in plastics. Think of that. Will you think of that? Yes, I will, mumbles Ben. Enough said, declares Mr. McGuire. That s a deal. 1 Today, more than 40 years after Mr. McGuire uttered these words, engineered plastics are fast becoming the future for two industries chemical and automotive as environmental concerns are increasingly affecting both. Even in emerging countries, legislative bodies are hammering out laws aimed at reducing man-made emissions that threaten the environment. Add to this the lingering effects of the global economic crisis and the result is a profound change in global manufacturing. For optimal fuel efficiency, automakers are using more lightweight materials plastics and polymer-based components. At the same time, increased competition for energy sources and a growing demand for automobiles are putting pressure on oil prices, and the notion of $150 a barrel no longer seems unrealistic. And regulators in both developed and emerging nations are legislating vehicle-emission standards and encouraging recyclability as a means by which to address both energy costs and environmental concerns. Figure 1 Plastics will account for 18 percent of average vehicle weight by 2020, up from 14 percent in 2000 Percentage of total vehicle weight 100% 75% 6% 2% 9% 13% 79% 2% 76% 5% 65% 14% 6% 63% 16% 6% 61% 18% 7% 55% Plastics Rubber Metals Others 50% 25% 14% 14% 17% 18% 18% 20% 0% ,100 kg 1,180 kg 1,260 kg 1,340 kg 1,400 kg 1,100 kg Average vehicle weight Notes: kg = kilogram.

3 The trend toward lightweight vehicles is a prime example. Since 2008 not coincidentally the year the global economy bottomed out the average vehicle weight has dropped 20 percent, which translates into a similar reduction in per-vehicle emissions. In Europe, analysts project that by 2020, the average vehicle weight will shrink to a little more than a ton its 1970 level after peaking at nearly 1.5 tons in The main reason for the trend, of course, is that lightweight vehicles are more fuel efficient. Ironically, another fuel-efficiency trend electric power trains results in heavier cars. While standard engines account for about 12 percent of a car s total weight, electric power trains account for 20 percent due to the extra-heavy battery. To preserve optimum fuel efficiency, automakers are using materials that are more lightweight plastics and polymer-based components. We project that over the next decade, plastics will account for 18 percent of the average vehicle s weight, up from 14 percent in 2000 (see figure 1). More than a hundred types and grades of plastic, categorized by performance requirements such as appearance, rigidity, resistance, weight, and cost, are used in the average vehicle. For instance, polypropylene (PP) is used in dashboards, wheel covers, and some engine parts; polyurethane (PUR) is employed in seats; polyethylene (PE) in carpets; and polyamide (PA) in parts that need to be heat- and chemical-resistant. Mass-volume plastics acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), PP, PUR, and nylon account for 70 percent of the plastics used in a car, while composites and higher-end plastics account for the rest. Importantly, plastic consumption patterns vary by region, sometimes even from one automotive original equipment manufacturer to another. European manufacturers use more plastics than those in North America and Japan. The latter have been slow to switch to petroleum-based plastics and are less familiar with high-grade plastics, and so continue to use more steel. The Challenges for Plastics As automakers are challenged to build vehicles that are more environmentally friendly, they will use more plastics. This presents a significant opportunity for chemical companies. Taking full advantage of this opportunity, however, will require dealing with a new set of challenges. Among the most daunting of these are the following: More competition from steel. Steel is still cheaper than plastics and benefits from innovations in either product (for example, dual grades, tailored blanks) or process (for example, laser-welding) that have improved its performance and reduced its weight. Price volatility. As prices are based on oil costs, they change quickly. Regular shortages. A relatively small number of global plants supplies all industries (especially for intermediates production). Recyclability. Here, steel has the edge again, largely because the numerous different types and grades of plastics are difficult to recycle. To meet this last challenge recyclability chemical companies have had to develop ways to reduce plastic s environmental footprint with bio-sourced and recyclable materials. Bioplastics are produced from renewables, with two main agricultural sources starch-based, derived mostly from sugar cane; and corn, potatoes, beets, and oil polymers (see figure 2). As a result, bioplastics primary raw material base is diversified and its dependency on oil reduced. 3

Kearney analysis Although bioplastics comprised less than 1 percent of all plastics in 2009 (with a global capacity of only 900 kilotons), its production has grown by more than 40 percent annually since The market is still highly fragmented, however, with few bioplastics manufacturers targeting automotive as a major outlet (some applications can be found within polylactic acid, polyhydroxyalkanoates, polyamide 11, and polyethylene terephthalate). Given current and planned production volumes and the price correlation of agricultural raw materials with oil prices, bioplastics will remain non-cost competitive with traditional plastics and will at best supply 20 percent of total plastics needs. An additional concern for bioplastics makers is that in Europe, new regulations require a large proportion of vehicle materials to be recyclable by A European Union directive requires 95 percent of an end-of-life vehicle to be valorized and 85 percent of that to be recycled. This means 60 percent of a vehicle s plastics have to be recycled. We expect to see similar legislation being introduced in other regions of the world in the foreseeable future (see figure 3). The problem is that while recycled plastics are environmentally friendlier and less costly than non-recyclable ones, they are less pure and do not perform as well. Thus, recycled products might enrich the portfolio, but cannot always be used as a substitute for virgin resins. 4

Nonbiodegradable Current plastics Bioplastic 2010 (prototype) Bioplastic 2015 Fully petroleum-based Fully organic Source: A.T. Kearney analysis In attempting to resolve this dilemma, there is a third option: composites that combine the advantage of steel and plastics. These fiber-reinforced plastics represent a credible alternative to steel both in terms of material characteristics and cost competitiveness (see figure 4). Fiberreinforced plastics are now being used to make structural and non-structural components such as seat structures, bumpers, hoods, and fuel tanks. Joining Forces To become more plastics-oriented, the automotive industry and the chemical industry are likely to join forces in a value chain that includes peripheral companies such as plastic-injection companies and automotive suppliers. This integrated value chain will have two goals: first, improving plastic s performance standards to better meet consumer needs and comply with government regulations; and second, developing innovative ways to reach sometimes contradictory objectives of sustainability. Improving performance By improving performance we mean improving resistance, stiffness, weight, sustainability, and aesthetics, to name a few factors. The auto companies will want to move material considerations upstream in the overall design process, especially to align safety criteria and energyefficiency goals. And they will want to convince suppliers to develop polymer-based materials that leverage the properties and benefits of plastics this in turn can generate innovation and new automotive applications. Collaborative research and development will be more focused on material properties and technology issues. If involved early enough, plastics can be used to substitute parts like-for-like, and also deliver an advantage by improving aesthetics, and 5

Kearney Real Companies, Real Growth study, 2011 reducing costs and vehicle weight. This latter point, reducing vehicle weight, is accomplished via suppression of sub-assemblies; for example, new thin seats are the result of merging foam, fabric, and structure. However, such breakthrough innovations will require a complete re-engineering of system architecture, and therefore will need to be initiated sufficiently in advance of a program s design phase. Also, industries will have to join forces to develop predictive engineering tools, shared performance models, and material-properties data for composites (to help develop prototypes). Industries will also work together to investigate new production and assembly processes, such as a way to join plastics and metals. Increasing sustainability As for the often contradictory objectives of sustainability, plastics can be environmentally friendly and contribute to the overall greening of the automotive industry. Figure 5 illustrates the effect one vehicle can have on the environment in terms of greenhouse gases. Aside from the obvious and vital objective of reducing vehicle weight, other green areas include assessing the trade-offs between bio-based and petroleum-based plastics, the recyclability of a vehicle (and biodegradability of its components), and the extent to which production processes are energy efficient. Automotive applications are in general investments with respect to the use of carbon. Unlike dispersive applications of chemicals, such as shampoo, or short lifecycle applications, such as plastic bags, the trade-off between bio and petroleum-based is less compelling. Quite the reverse, recycling appears to be the one mid-term challenge to be confronted worldwide. This implies not only developing recyclable materials with sufficient performance but also introducing recyclable automotive parts. 6

Source: A.T. Kearney analysis Again, meeting both performance and sustainability challenges will require substantial collaboration throughout the complex automotive-plastics value chain including the creation of a downstream recyclability industry. Plastic Power The bottom line is that to remain competitive and prosperous, the automotive industry has to develop affordable vehicles that comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations, and the chemical industry has to become more involved in the auto industry. The key for both industries lies in one word: Plastics. Authors Gaël Rouilloux, partner, Paris gael.rouilloux@atkearney.com Bartek Znojek, principal, Middle East bartek.znojek@atkearney.com 7
