Nylon Market: By Material Types, By Application, and Region Forecast 2019-2030

Nylon Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Material Types (Nylon 6, Nylon 6/6, Nylon 6/12, Nylon 4/6, Nylon 6/9, Nylon 6/10, Nylon 11, Nylon 12, and Bio-Nylon), By Application (Automobiles, Food Packaging, Industrial Applications, Consumer Goods, Electrical and Electronics, Textile Industries, Sports Equipment, Medical Applications, and Others), and Region Forecast 2019-2030

Nylon Market size was valued at US$ 34,357.9 million in 2023 and projected to reach US$ 54,585.1 million by 2030 is poised to grow at 6.6% CAGR from 2024-2030. Nylons are synthetic polymers, typified by amide groups, known for its exceptional strength, durability, and versatility. It is one of the most widely used engineering thermoplastics and finds applications in various industries. The market is primarily driven by rising demand in the textile and apparel sectors for the production of various products such as apparel, sportswear, hosiery, home furnishings, and so on. Moreover, the market is also influenced by growing demand for lightweight materials and expanding applications in emerging industries such as 3D printing, flexible electronics, etc., which also offer growth opportunities for the market.

However, the rise and fall in the availability and cost of raw materials pose a major challenge for the growth of the nylon market. Major industry players are constantly working on developing and enhancing the properties of nylon materials to fulfill the demands of growing industries. For instance, in April 2021, April 2021, an Israel-based manufacturer of nylon 6.6  fibres, Nilit has introduced a sustainable nylon fibre, Sensil BioCare, that decomposes quickly in seawater and landfills and is manufactured to help the textile and apparel industries address particular environmental issues such as water consumption and its influence on the ecosystem.

The increased demand for nylon in automotive applications is expected to drive the market over the forecast period. The auto business is heavily consolidated. Despite the wide product range due to the vast number of market participants, leading firms such as GM, Toyota, Ford, and Volkswagen account for around 49% of the market share. Nylon is utilized in many engine components, including bushings, bearings, oil containers, wire harness connectors, fuse boxes, cylinder head coverings, crankcases, and timing belts. Furthermore, nylon's ease of dyeing and molding has resulted in its widespread use in consumer and industrial applications around the world.

Nylon Market Key Developments

  • In April 2023, Microwave Chemical and Asahi Kasei have initiated a demonstration project to commercialize the chemical recycling process for nylon 66 utilizing microwave technology.
  • In April 2023, Kordsa, a tire and nylon manufacturing company, announced plans to invest US$ 50 million in expanding its nylon production at its Chattanooga site.
  • In January 2022, Toray Industries, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, has launched a nylon 510 (N510) fiber, Ecodear N510, made of 100% ‘biobased synthetic polymer content.
  • In June 2021, Solvay has globally launched its first partially bio-based polyamide textile yarn, Bio Amni, which is a polyamide 5.6.

Nylon Market Dynamics

One of the primary causes is the industry's continued emphasis on light weighting to improve fuel efficiency and minimize emissions. Nylon, as a lightweight and durable material, is an appealing alternative to metals in different aircraft components. Aircraft makers can save significant weight by replacing heavy materials with nylon composites or tailored polymers that maintain structural integrity and performance. This helps to save fuel during aircraft operations, which eventually lowers airline operating costs and improves environmental sustainability.

Furthermore, nylon's versatility and ability to be molded into different shapes make it ideal for producing aerospace components with complicated geometries. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as injection molding and additive printing, enable the creation of lightweight yet durable parts with specific qualities. In addition, nylon packaging materials offer a printable surface for branding, marketing, and product information demands. However, nylon manufacture is strongly dependent on the availability and cost of its raw materials, particularly adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine. Any fluctuations in the prices or availability of these materials have a substantial impact on the nylon market. Furthermore, the procurement of these raw resources may be subject to geopolitical risks, trade restrictions, or environmental rules, complicating the supply chain.
