Nylon Market

Nylon Market Outlook (2019-2029)

Characteristics such as high tensile strength, high elasticity, and superior abrasion resistance have slated the global nylon market to exhibit a promising 5.5% CAGR during the forecast period.

Unique product properties of nylon position it as a viable substitute to materials such as steel, bronze, brass, gunmetal, and rubbers. Surging demand for fuel efficiency on the back of stringent carbon emission regulations propels the use of nylon 6 and nylon 66.

Owing to its nimble weight and strong composition, Nylon is used in automotive engine components such as bearings, oil containers, fuse boxes, crankcases, and timing belts. Advancements in material sciences are expected to innovate end-use applications for mass adoption of nylon during the forecast period.

Automotive Industry- Key Revenue Generator

The versatile material finds applications in a lot of industries, from cloth manufacturing to appliance components of which, automotive applications generate maximum demand. The automotive application segment accounts for 1/3rd market share. Other remunerative applications are textile and electrical & electronics.

Both these segments will grow at a promising 6.2% and 6.7% CAGR respectively. The adaptability of nylon to mix with other raw materials such as silk and cotton is propelling its demand for textile applications of the product.

Consumer trends such as form-fitting bottoms for women are an additional factor that generates demand for nylon textiles. Rising preference for heat resistance, strength, aesthetic appearance, and lightweight components makes nylon a viable alternative for electrical & electronic applications.

East Asia Leads Global Sales, South Asia & Oceania to Offer Lucrative Prospects

East Asia commands global sales garnering more than half of the total market value. This can be attributed to the presence of major nylon-producing countries in this region. For instance, China is among the largest producer and consumers of nylon variants.

Automotive and textile manufacturers in these countries employ nylon 6 and nylon 66 in various use-cases. North America and Europe, collectively account for over 1/4th of global sales.

Early adopters are innovating applications in untapped industry verticals along with continuous demand from textile applications. However, the highest growth can be attributed to South Asia & Oceania. On the back of booming economic development in Indonesia and Singapore, South Asia & Oceania exhibit a robust 7% CAGR during the forecast period.

Nylon Market Receiving Tailwinds from Green Production and Industrial Automation

Market players are investing in environment friendly production, capacity expansion, and industry 4.0 technologies. The competitive landscape is shaped by factors such as production capacity, cost of manufacturing, and environmental impact.

Innovation in sustainable films and coating for flexible packaging is set to garner increased customer traction. Nylon manufacturers must enhance their product portfolio by decreasing their carbon emissions.

For instance, Bio-based monomers are an ideal alternative to conventional monomers used in nylon manufacturing, as they are cost-efficient and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
