Core Viewpoint - The automotive lighting market in China is expected to exceed 100 billion yuan by 2025, with a significant growth opportunity in the plastic materials used for automotive lights, projected to add 24 billion yuan to the market [1][2]. Group 1: Automotive Lighting Innovations - Automotive lights have evolved from functional components to key elements that reflect brand value, driven by the "aesthetic economy" and the trend towards smart technology [1]. - The introduction of high-reflective PC materials has set a new industry benchmark with a reflectivity of 96.6% at 550nm wavelength, improving light comfort and reducing glare by 40% compared to traditional aluminum plating [5]. - The development of metal-free coating technology allows for high metallic aesthetics without additional coating processes, reducing costs by 30% and carbon emissions by 80% [4]. Group 2: Material Advancements - The company has innovated a durable PMMA material that resists ethanol and maintains transparency, addressing common issues in tail light applications [9][12]. - The new PMMA material exhibits a high impact strength of 3.0 kJ/m², which is over 94% better than conventional PMMA, enhancing assembly and usage reliability [11]. - A closed-loop recycling system for automotive lighting materials has been established, promoting sustainability and reducing carbon emissions [11]. Group 3: Industry Events and Trends - The 2025 Polymer Industry Annual Conference and "New Plastic Award" will take place from September 10-12 in Hefei, focusing on the future of the polymer industry and innovations in materials [17][18]. - The conference will feature discussions on the challenges and opportunities in the polymer materials sector, particularly in the context of the dual carbon goals and the rise of new energy vehicles [21][32].
