Global Caprolactam Market 2023-2029

Global Caprolactam Market 2023-2029

According to the latest research, the global caprolactam market is poised to grow by USD 19.7 billion during 2023-2029, progressing at a CAGR of 12.09% during the forecast period. Caprolactam is produced by the reaction of cyclohexanone with hydroxylamine, followed by the rearrangement of the resulting compound. It is a versatile compound that can be used in the production of a variety of other chemicals, including adipic acid, caprolactone, and hexamethylene diamine. In addition to its use in the production of nylon 6, caprolactam is also used as a solvent, a plasticizer, and a feedstock for the production of other chemicals. It is a relatively safe compound to handle, but can cause skin and eye irritation if not handled properly.Caprolactam is produced by the reaction of cyclohexanone with hydroxylamine, followed by the rearrangement of the resulting compound.
