[Online Quarterly Update] Global Polyamide 6,6 (Nylon 66) market experienced significant growth as its demand reached 1.34 million tonnes in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.05% during the forecast period (2022-35).
Engineering plastics are materials possessing high durability and heat-resistant applications. They are extensively used in the automotive & electronic industry due to their unique properties. Polyamides, also known as Nylon, are widely used engineering plastics across various domains. Polyamide comes under various forms, out of which type 6 and type 6,6 cover a significant portion. Polyamide 6 or Nylon 6 is produced from Caprolactam, synthesized from Benzene through cyclohexane or phenol.
Polyamide 6,6 is produced by reacting Hexamethylene diamine (HMDA) with Adipic acid, followed by polymerization. Adipic acid is produced from cyclohexane, and HMDA is synthesized from Adiponitrile made from Propylene or Butadiene.
The Polyamide 6,6 market is segmented by end-use industries into automotive, electrical & electronics, textiles, general industrial goods, and others. The automotive sector is anticipated to be the most lucrative market for Polyamide 6,6 in the coming years. Nylon blends with its unique properties of formability, durability, high tensile strength, excellent abrasion, low coefficient of friction, and high heat & chemical resistance. Automotive manufacturers increasingly use it for fan shrouds, intake manifolds, air cleaners, fuel vapor canisters, air intake manifolds, electrical components, oil pans, and radiator endings tanks. Polyamide blends replace metal parts in automobiles to reduce vehicle weight and increase fuel efficiency. Increasing sales of electric vehicles have further boosted polyamide 6,6 applications in the automobile industry.
General industrial applications of polyamide 6,6 are shown in the manufacturing of sportswear, recreational equipment, consumer goods, alloys, home furnishings, and others and films for food packaging. Flame retardant blends of Polyamide 6,6 are increasingly used as raw material for manufacturing recharge sockets, battery cell covers & battery housings.
Owing to Nylon 6,6's toughness, good electrical insulating properties & noise dampening characteristics, its fibers are highly used in making textiles & apparels, fabrics, carpets & industrial yarns.
The strong demand growth of Polyamide 6,6 is being driven by more excellent vehicle production, more airbags per vehicle, and stricter safety regulations. Global manufacturers are further enhancing their supply configuration, considering subsequent capacity expansions. Polyamide 6,6 filament is experiencing remarkable growth in its predominant application of airbags as vehicle production in Asia rises and the airbag installation rate rises in line with increasing safety requirements.
Its demand in the engineering plastics industry has maintained a relatively high growth rate in recent years. The European and American economies continued to recover on the demand side, and economies such as China maintained strong growth. On the other hand, due to the slow expansion of crucial intermediates, the supply side of the products did not increase significantly in recent years, and the industry's overall supply and demand pattern continued to improve.
Among different regions, the Asia Pacific region dominated the global Polyamide 6,6 market in 2021 and is likely to maintain its supremacy in the forecast period. Polyamide 6,6 is consumed increasingly in growing economic regions of China, Japan, South Korea & Taiwan due to its high demand in Automotives & Electronics industry, driving the Polyamide 6,6 market across the APAC region.
Europe, followed by North America, holds the second and third most significant share of Polyamide 6,6 in demand. Owing to several developments in its end-user industries, the market is witnessing a healthy growth. Followed by them, the Middle East & Africa, and South America market is also projected to grow to meet the demand of their growing population.
