Market dynamics
2 factors across 2 forcesIncreasing Automotive Production & the Surging Number of On-road Vehicles
PPF is widely used in the automotive sector to protect vehicle paint from road debris, scratches, etc. TPU-based PPF products have made it possible for consumers to keep their vehicle paint immaculate. PPF also provides comprehensive surface protection for automotive paintwork, shielding it from scratches, stains, and the elements.
With the rising global automotive production & the increasing number of on-road vehicles, the demand for paint protection films is expected to rise significantly. For instance, in 2024, the number of registered vehicles in Malaysia exceeded the country's population. There were over 36.3 million registered vehicles in Malaysia as of October 2024.
According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (Belgium), in 2022, 85.4 million motor vehicles were produced globally, an increase of 5.7% compared to 2021. Thus, increasing global vehicle production & the surging number of on-road vehicles are driving the paint protection films market.
