Global Nylon Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis 2021-2028 | Nylon 6 Accounts for Highest Revenue Share

DUBLIN, Oct. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Nylon Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Product (Nylon 6, Nylon 66), by Application (Automobile, Electrical & Electronics, Engineering Plastics, Textiles), by Region, and Segment Forecasts, 2021-2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global nylon market size is expected to reach USD 46.31 billion by 2028., and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5.8% over the forecast period. Increasing product demand from engineering plastics, textile, electrical & electronics, and automotive applications are driving the growth of the market.

The electrical & electronics application segment is anticipated to progress at a substantial growth rate over the forecast period. This growth can be credited to the wide product usage in these applications including the production of tubes for cables and wirings, connectors, contactors, circuit breakers, and low voltage switch gears among others.

The electrical and electronics industry, unlike other industries, is expected to witness a mixed impact of the global pandemic. Apart from medical devices, electronic product companies that continued working during the lockdown, such as companies engaged in manufacturing remote monitoring electronic devices, witnessed an increase in demand for their products and services.

However, disruption across the supply chain of electronic and electrical components from China has hit other electronics and electrical parts manufacturing industries by causing an acute shortage of products and parts coupled with the labor shortage, which is likely to limit the product demand in these industries.

The textile industry is expected to witness a short- to mid-term impact owing to the decline in apparel sales on account of closed malls and stores. However, the demand for face covers has grown significantly, which is expected to have a positive impact on the textile industry. Thus, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on textile, including nylon, is expected to be different in the short and long terms as compared to other industries.

The nylon 66 segment is projected to ascend at the fastest CAGR over of 6% during the forecast period due to the wide application scope of these products in the sports apparel industry where it is used to produce swimwear, sportswear, and cords for parachute and others. However, the rapidly increasing cases of Covid-19 have resulted in restricted camping and outdoor activities, which have negatively impacted the demand for sporting apparel, such as swimwear and sportswear, thus, restricting the segment growth. Moreover, nylon 66 is used in the manufacturing of friction bearings, radiator caps, and tire ropes.

The manufacturing industry has been badly hit owing to the shortage of raw materials and labor across the globe, which is also expected to restrain the demand for nylon 66 in the foreseeable future.
