Caprolactam Market Estimation, Dynamics, Outlook, Research, Trends and Forecasts to 2027
Market Overview
The
worldwide Caprolactam Market is
likely to generate USD 14.9 billion by 2019. The market is expected grow at a
CAGR of 8.1% from 2016 to 2022. Caprolactam is an organic compound. This
colorless solid is a cyclic amide or a lactam of caproic acid. Caprolactam is a
medium primarily used in the production of resins and nylon 6 fibers.
Caprolactam is majorly consumed in the production of nylon fibers for carpet,
industrial yarns, and textile. Besides, it finds wide applications in films and
engineering resins. Nylon 6 textile fibers can be combined with
elastane/spandex fibers to create good stretch-fit properties. Nylon 6 finds
application in industries such as sportswear, apparel, hosiery, swimwear,
casual, and fashion wear. Rugs and carpets made from nylon are available in
many structures, styles, patterns, and colors. They provide good abrasion and
wear properties. Nylons are easy to clean and stain resistant. The fibers can
also be recycled back to caprolactam. Furthermore, nylon cords are used in
heavy duty bias tires for bus and truck, off-the-road, industrial, and
agricultural purposes. Nylon offers durable and strong properties coupled with
high fatigue resistance making it apt for heavily loaded carriages. It is also
used in industrial fiber for manufacturing ropes, fishing lines, tarpaulins,
and nets. Caprolactam finds wide application during the production of nylon 6
resins and nylon 6 fibers. Nylon 6 fibers and nylon 6 resins account for more
than 97% of the total caprolactam manufactured throughout the world. Moreover,
Nylon 6 has excellent elasticity and strength. Nylon 6 comes with damage
resistance from oils, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance. The
benefits have surged the usage of nylon 6 in an extensive range of applications
across the automotive, electrical, textile, and electronics industries. Nylon
is high-temperature resistant and can be dyed with the desired color for
enhancing visual appeal. With the increasing industrial importance of nylon,
the global caprolactam market is expected to witness substantial growth over
the forecast period.

However,
the adverse environmental impacts of caprolactam is likely to influence the
global caprolactam market negatively.
Market Segmentation
The global caprolactam market has been segmented
based on end-use and source. Based on source, the market has been segmented
into Toluene, Cyclohexane, and Phenol. Based on End-Use, the market has been
segmented into Textile Stiffeners, Textile Yarns, Synthetic Leather, Film
Coatings, Plasticizers, Plastics, and others.
Regional Analysis
Geographically, the global
caprolactam market has been segmented into North America, Europe, and Asia
Pacific. APAC market holds a remarkable share in caprolactam production. China
is likely to witness a sharp increase in the caprolactam production owing to
the installation of new and updated capacities. The introduction of new
capacities is anticipated to curtail caprolactam
prices over the forecast period. The Chinese producers are struggling to
offload their high inventories, which is leading to week-on-week lower offers.
Additionally, consumers in China are gradually opting for the domestic market
to meet their inventory requirements in view of the fluctuating US
dollar-Chinese yuan exchange rates. However, China’s environmental policies are
imposing emission control measures which is likely to restrict the caprolactam
market to a certain extent. The Asia-Pacific market is
followed by Europe. Europe market registers growth owing to the increasing
demand for apparels in the market. The North America market has been recording
sluggish growth over
the forecast period.
