Nylon Market Dynamics

Driver: Increase In Automobile Production

The automotive sector is extremely consolidated. Due to the wide range of products offered by the industry's competitors, the biggest players, including GM, Toyota, Ford, and Volkswagen, control around 49% of the market. Engine parts like cylinder head coverings, crankcases, timing belts, oil containers, wire harness connections, bushings, and bearings are made of nylon. The European automobile industry's steady growth and the Chinese market's explosive expansion are the primary causes of the output surge. The automotive sector has grown significantly in recent years, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. Developing infrastructure and increasing socioeconomic trends are two of the main drivers of this sector's expansion. Major businesses have shifted their production bases to China, India, and Indonesia as a consequence of favorable rules, labor availability, and government attempts to give advantageous FDI regulations. Throughout the projection period, nylon is expected to be crucial to the growth of the automotive sector. In addition to nylon's adaptability, automakers are anticipated to employ them more widely due to the material's positive environmental effects and the fact that Nylon 6 complies with global emission standards.

Restraint: Threat Of Substitutes From Other Products

Due to their less expensive costs, alternatives to nylon such polypropylene, bioresorbable polymers, para-aramid synthetic fibers, and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVF) are predicted to impede the expansion of the worldwide nylon market. Compared to nylon PVFs, which have a higher density, a harder surface, a stronger wear resistance, a higher UV resistance, and a lower optical density, PVF is a non-reactive thermoplastic with finer properties. PVF is becoming widely accepted as a significant alternative to nylon fishing lines in recent years. Because they degrade naturally, other environmentally acceptable alternatives, including bioresorbable polymers, pose a serious risk. Polypropylene has superior smoothness, elasticity, minimal elongation, high tensile strength, and superior handling when juxtaposed with nylon. They are used in textiles, medicine, and fishing, among other industries. Comparing para-aramid synthetic fibers to nylon monofilaments, the former is more resilient and heat resistant. It is assumed that the cheaper alternatives, such polyester monofilaments, will impede the market expansion for nylon monofilaments. Polyester monofilaments have shown their value in a variety of industries, including consumer products, automotive, industrial textiles, fishing, and electrical insulation. Therefore, it is anticipated that less expensive alternatives would increase market competition for monofilament and have the potential to displace monofilament globally.
