The global conductive and anti-static plastics for EVs market is anticipated to reach USD 12.83 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.36% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is a pivotal segment within the broader landscape of automotive materials, driven by the growing electrification of mobility and the increasing sophistication of vehicle electronics. These specialized plastics, engineered to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) and provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, are gaining strategic importance in modern EV designs.
As EVs integrate more high-voltage components and advanced electronics, from battery packs to control units and infotainment systems, the need for materials that ensure both electrical safety and component reliability has become critical. Conductive and anti-static plastics offer the dual advantage of enabling complex component geometries and contributing to overall vehicle lightweighting, key factors in enhancing energy efficiency and range.
A major catalyst propelling the market forward is the surge in global EV production, particularly in Asia Pacific and Europe, where OEMs are pushing to comply with tightening emissions norms and sustainability goals. These materials outperform traditional options like metal by offering corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and moldability, making them ideal for high-volume, automated manufacturing.
Innovations in polymer science are also fostering the development of advanced composites with tailored conductivity, flame retardancy, and mechanical strength-features increasingly demanded in EV powertrains and charging systems. With OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers seeking to optimize safety, cost, and performance, conductive and antistatic plastics are rapidly becoming a foundational element of next-generation EV platforms.
Furthermore, advancements in microbial conversion, gas fermentation, and biomass feedstock optimization have enabled scalable, commercially viable production routes. This combination of performance, policy alignment, and climate benefit makes conductive and antistatic plastics for EVs an increasingly strategic material for industries prioritizing long-term resilience and sustainable growth.
The market players focus on various strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions, and collaborations. For instance, in February 2025, SABIC launched the NORYL GTX LMX310 resin, a new polyphenylene ether (PPE) blend designed to improve dimensional stability for larger, complex automotive parts like EV service flaps.
