Caprolactam Market Size is likely to witness a steady growth from 2017 to 2024 pertaining to high growth in nylon 6 applications in end-use sectors such as automotive, electronics, textiles, packaging, etc.
Caprolactam, is a cyclic amide or lactam of caproic acid. It is a colorless organic compound which is a raw material to nylon 6, an extensively used synthetic polymer. Caprolactam is usually manufactured from three different sources such as cyclohexane, phenol and toluene. The most commonly used raw material to produce caprolactam is cyclohexane via converting it to oximes by using hydroxylammonium sulfate followed by Beckmann rearrangement. The product's mechanical properties such as light-weight and high strength makes it an aptly endorsed material to produce nylon fiber and resins. The caprolactam manufacturing plant requires less technical complexity coupled with low initial infrastructure investment which will encourage new participants to enter the Caprolactam market. The product industries generally exhibit high degree of forward integration as most of the caprolactam producers are also involved in production of nylon 6 products.
Increasing application of nylon 6 in the form of fiber and resins will spur the Caprolactam market growth in next seven years. Nylon 6 fibers has a myriad end-use application owing to the unique characteristics including light weight, fatigue & heat resistance, and high tensile elastic strength. Various application of nylon 6 fiber including textile, carpets, industrial yarn, etc. is likely to augment the demand of nylon 6 which will further spur the caprolactam market during the forecast spell. The use of nylon resins in automotive industry to manufacture air bags, doors, windows, tire cords, gear, under the hood components, etc. and in electronic industry to manufacture electrical & electronic components will contribute to the product's market growth. Rising disposable income of consumers and changing technologies to manufacture light weight vehicle owing to their fuel efficiency will upscale the demand of nylon 6 which will lead to humongous growth of caprolactam market in next seven years.

The primary hindrance in the product market is the release of ammonium sulfate as a by-product during its manufacturing pertaining to its hazardous nature and toxicity which causes environmental and health concern. The other reason that will encumber the market growth is stringent regulation by the government. For instance, in 2011, the investigating authority of China implement regulation no.68 of 2011, to launch an anti-dumping investigation of caprolactam which originated from Europe and the U.S.
Based on the raw material, the Caprolactam market is categorized as cyclohexane, phenol and toluene. Among all, cyclohexane is the most popular raw material due to its low cost and ease of availability. The new technological innovation to minimize the amount of hazardous by-product will augment use of cyclohexane. For instance, Fibrant HPO-plus technology has significantly reduced the byproduct to 1.5 tons per ton of caprolactam.
