Market Segmentation

This report extensively covers market segmentation by application (nylon 6 fibers, nylon 6 resins, and others), end-user (textile yarn, industrial yarn, engineering plastics, and carpet fibers and staple fibers), and geography (APAC, Europe, North America, South America, and Middle East and Africa). It also includes an in-depth analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges. Furthermore, the report includes historic market data from 2017 to 2021.

Market Dynamics and Customer Landscape

The market is driven by the demand for non-woven fabrics and synthetic chemical fibers, particularly in the automotive sector. Chemical fiber and carpet fiber industries rely on its production, contributing to its market growth. However, challenges such as wear and tear, abrasion, and crushing may affect its performance. Additionally, regulations on fuel economy and vehicle emissions pose challenges for the automotive sector, impacting its usage. Trends indicate a shift towards lightweight automotive vehicles and bio-based caprolactam, reflecting the industry's focus on sustainability and innovation amidst evolving market dynamics. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Market Driver

The commercial importance of nylon is a key growth factor driving the growth of the global caprolactam market. Nylon is resistant to high temperatures and can be dyed to any desired color for aesthetic effect. It is used in the manufacture of cooking utensils and utensils such as forks, tongs, brushes, slotted spoons, and spatulas. Additionally, nylon provides a superior non-stick surface finish.

Nylon can be drawn into fibers, which have higher strength and are extensively used in the textile industry. These fibers are used in the manufacture of fabrics with greater toughness and durability. Apart from apparel, nylon is also used in the manufacture of sports equipment, harness straps, ropes, and fishing nets. Thus, the rising importance of nylon is increasing its demand, which, in turn, will drive the market during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trend

A shift in focus to bio-based nylon 6 polymers is a key trend in the growth of the global caprolactam market. Companies that produce nylon 6 polymer plan to switch to bio-based nylon 6 polymer production in the next few years to reduce emissions by more than 80%. In addition, the use of renewable resources also reduces the cost of producing nylon 6 polymer. BASF developed and successfully produced a castor oil-based polymer in the early 1960s.

The company has been developing more bio-based products and increasing its product portfolio in this sector. Ultramid Balance, a nylon 6 polymer, is composed of 60% sebacic acid, a castor oil derivative. This product outperforms its standard nylon 6 products, offering higher stability and resistance to chemicals. In addition, the production of bio-based nylon 6 will not be dependent on fluctuating crude oil prices, thereby maintaining the prices of nylon 6 in the coming years. Thus, owing to such factors, the market is expected to grow during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

A large amount of waste ammonium sulfate is a major challenge for the growth of the global caprolactam market. Ammonium sulfate is a commercially important fertilizer. However, it is under scrutiny because it is produced in large quantities as a by-product in the manufacture of caprolactam. Nearly 40% ammonium sulfate is a by-product of a conventional manufacturing cycle using cyclohexane. About 5 tons of ammonium sulfate are produced as a by-product for every ton of caprolactam produced.

Ammonium sulfate is also known to cause skin irritation and is harmful if inhaled. If large quantities are produced, sufficient care has to be taken for its downstreaming without leakages. However, the recovery process of ammonium sulfate is usually tedious and not economical. The industry is seeking alternative and sustainable methods to produce caprolactam and reduce the amount of ammonium sulfate that is produced in the waste streams. Such factors will restrain the growth of the market during the forecast period.

What is the Fastest-Growing Segment in the Market?

The market exhibits diverse applications and influences from various sectors. Key components such as non-woven fabrics and chemical fibers find extensive use, particularly in the automobile sector where synthetic chemical fibers are essential for producing lightweight vehicles. Raw materials like ammonia and phenol are integral to caprolactam production, further utilized in manufacturing Nylon clothing and Nylon 6 fibers. The market also intersects with textile commodities and films, catering to diverse industries. With the rise of bio-based caprolactam, environmental concerns are addressed, aligning with regulations aimed at reducing vehicle emissions and enhancing fuel economy. This segmentation underscores caprolactam's versatility and relevance across various sectors, driving its market growth.

The market share growth by the nylon 6 fibers segment will be significant during the forecast period. Nylon 6 is conventionally manufactured by the process of melt spinning and is available in multiple forms catering to a wide range of applications. The types of nylon 6 fibers include staple form, mono-filamentous form, and multi-filamentous form. Increased durability and flexibility offered by these semi-crystalline polymers make them preferable for use in casting applications. Nylon 6 fibers are also used to produce high-strength ropes, cogs, and bearings in machining applications. Such factors will increase the growth of the segment during the forecast period.

The nylon 6 fibers segment was valued at USD 8.46 billion in 2017 and continue to grow by 2021. Nylon 6 fiber is manufactured in two general product types: one is the regular type for textile purposes, and another one is the high-strength type for industrial purposes. Most nylon 6 is manufactured in the form of staple fiber yarns and filament yarns for the manufacture of tire cords, apparel, carpets, hosiery, upholstery, parachutes, seat belts, ropes, and industrial cords. This variety of applications can be attributed to the specific combination of fiber properties such as tensile strength, elastic recovery, flame resistance, chemical resistance, light stability, and thermal stability, among others. Relatively high fiber strength and initial modulus are necessary for reinforcing applications such as yarns, textiles, tires, and composites. Such demand from various end-users is anticipated to promote the demand for nylon 6 fibers, which, in turn, will increase the demand for caprolactam during the forecast period.

              • in crude oil prices: The volatility of crude oil prices is one of the key challenges in the global commodity chemicals market. The volatility of crude oil prices impacts the pricing strategies and margins of adhesives, sealants, lubricants, oilfield cleaners, polymers, as well as plastic additives. The margins of the commodity chemicals are inherently dependent on the global prices of crude oil, which is one of the key raw materials. Any volatility in the prices of crude oil causes uncertainty in end-use markets and eventually influences the margins of all the key stakeholders, including the vendors in the global commodity chemicals market. These fluctuations adversely affect the profitability, cost of sales, and the ability of vendors to effectively address the demands of consumers.
