Global Caprolactam Market

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Caprolactam Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2027," the global caprolactam market reached a value of US$ 15.3 Billion in 2021. Caprolactam is an organic compound with the chemical formula (C₆H₁₁NO). It is most commonly obtained by the synthesis of cyclohexane, phenol and toluene. Characterized by a clear to milky-white color, it is a crystalline lactam or a cyclic amide of caproic acid. It is soluble in water and other liquids, including oxygenated and chlorinated solvents. It is a synthetic polymer that is widely used for manufacturing nylon 6. It exhibits lightweight properties, improved elasticity and excellent chemical resistance. As a result, it is used to form high-strength nylon fibers and resins that are further utilized for the production of textiles, carpets, films, brush bristles, industrial yarns, synthetic leather, plastics, plasticizers and lysine.

We are regularly tracking the direct effect of COVID-19 on the market, along with the indirect influence of associated industries. These observations will be integrated into the report.

Global Caprolactam Market Trends:

The global market is primarily driven by the growing utilization of nylon 6 in the textile industry. These fibers are characterized by excellent tensile elastic strength and fatigue, as well as heat resistance. Due to this, they are combined with elastane to attribute stretch-fit properties to the fibers that are used in the manufacturing of numerous clothing items, including casual wear, swimwear, sportswear and hosiery. These polymers are also employed in the automotive sector for the production of doors, windows, gear, airbags, tire cords and other components. Moreover, there has been a shifting preference toward lightweight vehicle components as their usage is associated with improved fuel efficiency. This, along with the significant growth in the automotive industry, is providing an impetus to the market growth. Furthermore, product innovations and extensive research and development (R&D) activities undertaken by the players have led to the introduction of bio-based caprolactam variants, which are gaining widespread prominence among end users. The development of caprolactam with minimal traces of ammonium sulfate, a hazardous by-product, is also creating a positive outlook for the market. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during 2022-2027.
