SAN FRANCISCO, August 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Global caprolactam market is expected to reach USD 15.30 billion by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising nylon 6 resin and fiber consumption, on account of increasing demand for electronics is expected to drive the market. Electronics industry growth in China has resulted in subsequently driving caprolactam demand over the past few years.

     (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150105/723757)

Caprolactam manufacturing requires low technical complexity along with lesser initial infrastructure investment thus encouraging new participants to enter the market. Technological innovations aimed at improving manufacturing process of the product in order to minimize release of ammonium sulfate as a by-product on account of its hazardous nature is expected to have a positive impact on the industry.

Browse full research report with TOC on "Caprolactam Market Analysis By Application (Nylon 6 Fibers, Nylon 6 Resins) By End-Use (Textile Yarn, Industrial Yarn, Engineering Plastics, Carpet Fibers & Staple Fibers) And Segment Forecasts To 2022" at: http://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/caprolactam-market    

North America and Europe together accounted for over 35% of the global market volume share in 2014. Increasing focus on R&D for commercial production of bio-based caprolactam and resultant bio-nylon is expected to open new opportunities for market growth in the near future.

Further key findings from the report suggest: 

  • Nylon 6 resins are expected to witness significant gains with projected growth at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2015 to 2022. Increasing consumption of nylon 6 resins for manufacturing of engineering plastics which are used as technical components in electrical & electronics and packaging industry is expected to accelerate market growth.
  • Ammonia, cyclohexane, phenol and toluene are some of the key raw materials used for manufacturing caprolactam. Volatile raw material prices, limited availability and stringent regulations have been some of the primary factors challenging market growth.
  • Engineering plastics accounted for over 15% of the global volume share in 2014. Rapid industrialization coupled with tremendous growth in the automotive sector, particularly in Asia Pacific, is expected to have a positive impact on the industry over the forecast period. Innovation in the field of electronics along with increasing consumption of smart phones, tablets, laptops and TVs has resulted in driving demand for engineering plastics, subsequently augmenting market growth.
  • Asia Pacific caprolactam market was estimated at over 2,940.0 kilo tons in 2014. Encouragement of 100% Foreign Direct Investment by the Indian government for domestic automobile industry growth is expected to augment manufacturing sector. This is expected to fuel nylon 6 resins demand which in turn will have a positive impact on the caprolactam industry over the next seven years.
  • The global industry is fragmented in nature, on account of presence of numerous companies globally. These include Sumitomo Chemicals, Honeywell, BASF, Toray, DSM, Alpek, Ube, Sinopec and Lanxess.
  • In May 2015, Sumitomo Chemicals increased contract caprolactam price by USD 70 per metric ton to USD 1,880 per metric ton. In May 2015, BASF SE increased caprolactam prices by USD 0.05 per pound in North America.
