Polyamides Market by Type (Polyamide 6/6, Polyamide 6, Polyamide 66, Kevlar, and Others), Application (Moisture-absorbent, Chemical-resistant, Temperature-resistant, Aesthetic, and Colorable), End-user (Automotive, Aerospace and Defense, Electrical and Electronics, Packaging and Storage, Extrusion, Textile, and Others), and Region (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 – 2031
The global polyamides market size was USD 35 bn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 52 bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5.10% during 2023–2031. The market growth is attributed to the rising polyamide utilization in the production of insulation materials, pipes, industrial brushes, and others.
Polyamide refers to a polymer with numerous adaptable properties and applications and significant demand in various end-user industries such as textile, automotive, machinery, electronics, packaging, and coatings.
These polyamides arise in form of silk and wool among others and are further synthesized artificially into the 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. Polyamides addition to the Polyphthalamide (PPA) lowers glass transition temperature and melting point, which makes the polyphthalamide blends easier to process.
Bio-based polyamides are gaining popularity in the market due to their 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 favorable and unfavorable impacts on the polyamides market. The demand for various healthcare and medical products, such as pharmaceutical packaging, temperature guns, and others have increased, which is likely to boost the market.
On the other hand, many companies in the polyamide market have been on a halt to comply with the government regulation which directly impacts the revenue flow. However, the government’s steps and strategies have helped to neutralize the situation. This pandemic has encouraged key players to implement advanced technologies to overcome these challenges and expand market growth.
