Report Overview
The global nylon market attained a value of USD 37.15 Billion in 2025 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5.70% through 2035. The market is further expected to achieve USD 64.67 Billion by 2035. Rising demand from electric-vehicle and high-performance electronics makers is driving the adoption of reinforced nylon-66 resins for lightweight, heat-resistant structural components.
The market experiences a renewed momentum as several leading producers began rolling out next-generation nylon grades tailored for high-performance uses. For instance, players like Invista and Toray Industries ramped up development of reinforced nylon-6 and nylon-66 variants designed for engineering plastics and automotive components. In August 2025, Invista announced that the company is increasing its investments in nylon textiles, mainly for fiber and fabric solutions under the Cordura brand. In order to establish traction in end-use garment industries, such as outdoor, workwear, military, and lifestyle sectors, this initiative focuses on next-generation performance fabrics, thereby accelerating the nylon market growth.
Moreover, the expanding demand comes from sectors such as automotive, electronics, and industrial machinery. As a response, in April 2024, Avient introduced durable orange nylon colorants for high voltage electrical vehicle (EV) connectors, combining high heat and long-term color stability. Meanwhile, major producers are investing in supply-chain resilience and product innovation, reshaping the nylon market trends. Companies such as BASF SE, DuPont, and LANXESS AG are expanding their production capacities and exploring bio-based or recycled nylon resin alternatives anticipating tighter regulatory constraints and rising environmental demand.

Forecast Period
-
Nearly 4 million tonnes of nylon 6,6 is manufactured per year and it is one of the most extensively used fibres in the fashion and performance apparel sectors. With customers increasingly shifting towards durable, high-performance, and versatile materials in clothing, the use of nylon 6,6 is surging due to its abrasion resistance, strength, elasticity, and moisture-wicking properties.
-
In 2022, 85.4 million motor vehicles were produced globally, a surge of 5.7% as compared to 2021. As vehicle production surges and the focus on improving the fuel efficiency of vehicles grows, the demand for nylon-based components in the automotive sector for producing durable and lightweight parts that can withstand mechanical stress and high temperatures is increasing.
-
There is a growing demand for nylon films in flexible packaging in sectors such as medical, pharmaceutical, and food and beverages due to their puncture resistance, barrier properties, moisture control, and high strength. Moreover, the growing focus on sustainability is surging the demand for recycled nylon and bio-based nylons, propelling the nylon market expansion.
Competitive Landscape
Competition in the industry is intensifying as nylon companies shift from bulk resin sales toward high-value engineered grades designed for EVs, smart electronics, and circular supply chains. Leading suppliers are prioritizing nylon formulations that replace metal in safety-critical automotive parts, withstand high thermal loads in power electronics, and meet stringent tracking index requirements for compact connector systems.
Another focus area is recycling and bio-based feedstocks since OEMs in automotive and electronics now assess nylon suppliers on lifecycle credentials. This opens opportunities for producers that scale chemical recycling and offer traceability data. Collaborative development programs with automotive and electronics design centers are also becoming important to secure downstream program wins. Nylon market players that combine reliable global supply, custom compounding services, and sustainability-aligned portfolios appear better positioned over the forecast period.
