Global Nylon Market Outlook
The global nylon market size was around USD 35.15 billion in 2023. The market is further estimated to grow in the forecast period of 2024-2032 at a CAGR of 5.7%, to reach nearly USD 57.88 billion by 2032.
Nylon is a strong and elastic polyamide material that can be molten into fibres, bristles, filaments, and sheets, among others. It is a synthetic polyamide and is woven from man-made fibres. It is tough and lightweight, due to which it is extensively used in various end-use industries, such as automotive and electronics, among others.
Nylon was first used commercially in a nylon-bristled toothbrush in 1938, followed by women's stockings ("nylons") in 1940, which became extremely popular. Nylon is known for its high strength, elasticity, and resilience. It is resistant to abrasion and chemicals, has low moisture absorbency, and is easy to wash. These properties make it ideal for a wide range of applications.
It is extensively used in the manufacture of clothing (like hosiery and swimwear), home furnishings, automotive parts, and industrial applications. It's also a common material in ropes, conveyor belts, and parachutes, owing to its strength and durability. There are several types of nylon, each with unique properties. For example, Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6 are the most common types, with slightly different molecular structures and characteristics.

Nylon Market Segmentation
Based on type, the market can be segmented into:
- Nylon 6
- Nylon 6,6
- Others
Nylon 6 holds a major nylon market share. Nylon 6 is a material with high abrasion resistance, high melting point, high tensile strength, and great resistance to photodegradation. Hence, these properties make the material ideal for industrial applications such as manufacturing machine parts, electronic equipment, and metallic devices, among others, fuelling the market growth. Nylon 6,6 is lightweight, which makes it suitable for the manufacturing of parachutes. Furthermore, the waterproof nature of the material is surging its demand in the production of swimsuits, which is propelling the growth of the market.
As a preferred material for many textiles, the growth of the fashion and apparel sector, especially in developing countries, boosts the demand for Nylon 6. The automotive sector also uses Nylon 6 in various components, benefiting from its durability and lightweight nature. As the automotive sector grows, so does the demand for Nylon 6. Increased use in industrial applications (like gears, bearings, and conveyor belts) and consumer products also contribute to its demand. Thus, the economic growth, consumer spending, and industrial development in various countries directly influence the demand for Nylon 6.

Market Share by Region
The Asia Pacific Accounts for a Significant Share of the Market
The market in the Asia Pacific region is being driven by the strong foothold of major automotive manufacturers in the region, such as Hyundai, Maruti, Kia Motors, Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, and Nissan, among others. The introduction of favourable government initiatives such as Make in India aimed towards bolstering indigenous manufacturing in countries like India and China is likely to drive the market for nylon in the region. Furthermore, the rising demand for appliances in the region owing to the rising population and rising standards of living is anticipated to augment the nylon market demand.
The Asia Pacific is a major hub for the textile sector. Countries like China, India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam are significant players in textile manufacturing and export. Nylon, being a key material for many textiles, sees high demand in these markets. With the rising middle class and increasing consumer spending in the region, there's a higher demand for consumer goods that use nylon, such as sportswear, home furnishings, and various appliances.
The Asia Pacific region has a strong network of nylon production facilities, contributing to a robust supply chain. This availability can drive regional demand as manufacturers prefer local sources to reduce costs and improve supply chain efficiency. There is also a growing awareness of environmental issues in the region, leading to an increased interest in sustainable and recycled nylon products. This trend could shape future demand and production practices.
