The growing production and demand for consumer electronics are boosting the nylon 66 market revenue. Nylon 66 is extensively used in the production of electrical housings to protect internal electronic components from damage. It is also used to produce connectors and breakers and serves as an insulating material on wires and cables. In 2021, the demand for electronics items surged significantly, with computers, smartphones, and TV sets together accounting for USD 880 billion of the industry’s worth. In 2022, these categories recorded a year-on-year growth rate of 34%, 1%, and 12%.
Rapid technological advancements continue to drive the demand for nylon 66 for niche applications, such as medical implants, 3D printers, sporting goods, and aerospace components. This is creating a favourable nylon 66 market outlook. By increasing their investments in research and development initiatives, companies can differentiate their product offerings and garner a substantial portion of the market share in the coming years.
Rising applications of nylon 66 in the automotive industry; growing emphasis on sustainability; the inclusion of functional additives in nylon 66; and the surging trend of Industry 4.0 and industrialisation are favouring the nylon 66 market growth.
Nylon 66 is extensively utilised in the automotive industry due to its chemical stability, heat resistance, durability, and high strength-to-weight ratio. This makes it ideal for manufacturing under-the-hood components, structural parts, engine components, and fuel-efficient vehicle systems.
In recent years, the shift away from fossil fuels has increased the demand for bio-based nylon 66, which is derived from castor oil. This enables textile manufacturers to reduce their reliance on petroleum-based products while lowering their environmental impact, thereby promoting circular economic development.
By incorporating conductive fillers, lubricants, flame retardants, and other additives into nylon 66, plastic formulators can enhance the functionality and performance of nylon 66 as per the user’s requirements. For instance, flame retardants increase the fire resistance of nylon 66 and make it suitable for applications in the electronics, aerospace, and construction industries.
By using simulation software, CAD, and other digital tools along with additive manufacturing techniques, nylon 66 producers can rapidly prototype different product designs and introduce new models, thereby enhancing control over product quality and testing. The integration of additive manufacturing also allows producers to develop customised shapes, which offers great flexibility in meeting specific consumer requirements, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of manufacturing.
Increasing textile production
Rising global textile production is leading to the nylon 66 market expansion. The material boasts excellent properties, such as abrasion resistance, durability, and strength. It is extensively used in fabric production which is used for making high-performance textiles for industrial applications and sportswear. As global textile demand rises, particularly in the sports and fashion industry, the demand for nylon 66 is also expected to gain traction. Its versatile and lightweight nature makes it a preferred material for textile production, which is expected to sustain its demand in the coming years.
Rising automotive production
With automotive producers expected to bolster their manufacturing operations amid the rising demand, the nylon 66 market development is expected to surge. Nylon 66 can potentially reduce a vehicle's weight by 10% while improving its fuel efficiency by 5%-7%. This makes it an attractive raw material for vehicle producers and is expected to remain in demand over the forecast period.
