Caprolactam Market, By Raw Material (Cyclohexane/Benzene, Phenol and Toluene, Ammonia, Others), By Product Type (Nylon 6 Fibers (Textile, Carpet, Industrial Yarn, Others), Nylon 6 resins and films (Automotive Industry, Specialty Film Packaging for Food, Wire and Cables, Others)), By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2023 - 2030

Caprolactam are organic compounds with molecular formula ((CH2)5CNH). It is a colorless, solid, toxic substance and process an irritant properties. The caprolactam market is segmented by nylon 6 fiber and nylon 6 resin. The nylon 6 fiber is the largest segment and is mainly used in textile, carpet, industrial yarns and others end-use industries. Also, the nylon 6 resins are used in automobiles, specialty films packaging for food, wires & cables and other end-use industries. Demand is growing for caprolactam across the world in end-use industries due to various application of nylon 6 resin and nylon 6 fibers. Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market according to Coherent Market Insights. Growing demand for electronic gadgets and equipment in Asia Pacific due to populous economy and changing lifestyle is expected to drive growth of the market. Growing electronics industry is propelling demand for nylon 6 resin and fiber consumption. Continuous technological innovations aimed at improving manufacturing process of the product to reduce ammonium sulfate production as a by-product, due to its hazardous nature and increase in production cost is expected to propel demand for caprolactam during 2023-2030. For instance, in June 17, 2019, Honeywell International Inc., introduced a new Aegis nylon resin designed to protect electrical wirings and cables used in industrial and consumer products. Moreover, in May, 2019, Sumitomo Chemical Company Limited raised caprolactam price by US$ 70 per MT to US$ 1,880 per MT. Furthermore, in May 2019, BASF SE raised caprolactam price by USD 110.2 per MT in North America. In November 2021, China Petroleum & chemical corporation core pacific group is committed to sustainability, leading the way with ESG. In February 2023, UBE corporation announces organizational and personnel changes. In May 2022, DSM announces sale of engineering materials business.

Market Dynamics
