Increasing consumption of caprolactam in nylon 6 fibers and engineering plastics is expected to fuel the demand for caprolactam.
The nylon 6 fibers segment is the largest and fastest-growing application of caprolactam.Caprolactam is initially processed to produce polyamide 6 fiber and is then further melted and spun to produce staple, tow, monofilament, and multi-filament form.

The fiber has outstanding durability and excellent physical properties.Textile is an area of important end-use for polyamide.

The most commonly used polyamide textiles are produced from polyamide 6, polyamide 66, and other co-polyamides. The excellent properties of caprolactam enable the end-product to exhibit pleasant tactical qualities, lighter weight, and higher strength.

APAC is expected to register the highest growth during the forecast period.
