The polyamides market size was valued at USD 1.68 billion in 2019 and is estimated to register a substantial CAGR of over 6.8% during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to rising polyamides utilization in the production of insulation materials, pipes, industrial brushes and others which are further used in several end-user segments such as construction and building, electrical and electronics and automotive.
Polyamide refers to a polymer with numerous adaptable properties and applications and significant demand in various end-user industries such as textile, automotives, machinery, electronics, packaging and coatings. These polyamides arise in form of silk and wool among others and further synthesized artificially into product, polyamide 6, nylon and aramid are among the common artificially made polyamides. Artificial polyamides display applications such as low permeability to gases, good mechanical properties, resistance to wear and chemical resistance. Bio-based polyamides are gaining popularity in the market due to its eco-friendly properties. Polyamide 6 is the most dominant type among polyamides in terms of revenue and consumption due to its cost to performance ratio.
The Covid-19 pandemic had both favourable and unfavourable impact on the polyamides market. The demand for various healthcare and medical products, such as pharmaceutical packaging, temperature guns and others has increased which is likely to boost the market. On the other hand, many companies in the polyamides market has been on halt to comply with the government regulation which directly impacts the revenue flow. However, government’s steps and strategies have helped to neutralise the situation. This pandemic has encouraged the key players to implement advance technologies to overcome these challenges and expand the market growth.
