나일론 6 시장 : 제품 형태별, 원료 및 공급원별, 용도별, 지역별

Nylon 6 Market is estimated to be valued at USD 17.34 Bn in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 26.95 Bn by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% from 2025 to 2032.

Global nylon 6 market represents a crucial segment within the synthetic polymer industry, characterized by its exceptional mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and versatility across diverse applications. Nylon 6, also known as polycaprolactam, is a semicrystalline polyamide produced through the ring-opening polymerization of caprolactam, resulting in a thermoplastic material with superior strength-to-weight ratio and excellent processability.

Market Dynamics

The global nylon 6 market is primarily driven by robust demand from the automotive industry, where the material's exceptional strength, impact resistance, and lightweight properties make it ideal for manufacturing engine components, fuel systems, electrical connectors, and interior parts, supporting the industry's ongoing lightweighting initiatives to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. The thriving textile industry, particularly in developing economies, significantly contributes to market growth as nylon 6 fibers are extensively used in apparel, carpets, industrial fabrics, and technical textiles due to their superior elasticity, abrasion resistance, and dyeability.
