Nylon Market Analysis, Trends, Forecast & Outlook

Nylon Market Description

The global demand for nylon is expected to reach $32 million while growing at a constant CAGR of 5 percent until 2022. The growth of the nylon industry will be driven by broad demand from automotive, electronics, packaging, CPG, and plastic products industries, particularly in emerging economies like LATAM, India, and other Southeast Asian countries. The global nylon market is currently oversupplied. However, minimal expansions are already in place to compensate for the increase in demand. Automobiles are the primary end-users of both nylon 6 and nylon 6,6 and have made a significant contribution in sustaining the high demand trends.

Asia is the center for both nylon production and consumption with increased capacity, and the region is also moving towards self-sufficiency. The report also provides a global market outlook in areas like North America, Europe, and Asia, and gives an overview of the global trade dynamics, imports & exports.

Global Market Outlook on Nylon

The global demand is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.4 percent through 2017–2022
Broad demand drive from the automotive industry and plastic product industry is expected to trigger the nylon market growth
Emerging economies, such as LATAM, India, and other Southeast Asian countries, are expected to drive the global nylon market

Demand Market Outlook

The global nylon market is currently oversupplied .However, minimal expansions are in place to meet up with the increase in demand growth

Industry Best Practice

Engagement Models

Direct and consortium buying are the two relevant engagement models in the industry
Direct buying is highly preferred, as consortium buying (group buying) is:

–Still in the beginning stages in the nylon resins industry
–Practiced more by metals and automobile industries

Contract Models

Market Price Contract: The commodity is supplied at a market price or benchmark price
Fixed Contract: The buyer can decide to have a fixed margin (the margin of supplier is fixed throughout the contract period) or fixed price (prices are locked for the contract period)

Pricing Formula

Resin Producer–Converter

Monomer Based

Nylon Price = Monthly Nylon Contract Prices + Fixed Component (Costs from Overhead, Freight, Conversion) + Premium

Index Based

Nylon Price = Price of the Nylon Resin Quoted in the Index for the Particular Month (based on indices, such as CMAI/CDI/Platts/IHS/ICIS) + Additional Costs (based on volume, time, and clauses in purchase)

Converter–End User

Nylon Price = Nylon Resin Index Price for the Particular Month + Conversion Cost (from utilities, labor, additives, specific grade) + Margins

Global Market Size: Nylon

The global nylon market is forecasted to reach $32 million at a CAGR of 5 percent for the forecasted period until 2022.Automobile, electronics, packaging, CPG industries, etc., are expected to drive the demand

The nylon market is expected to portray a strong growth in the coming years, taking in support of higher raw material prices and healthier demand trends after witnessing lackluster market sentiments during 2015–2016
Concerns of supply tightness had arisen, especially in Europe and Asia, in line with capacity rationalization in the upstream as well as ongoing environmental regulations in China
Among the top regions, Asia with the largest capacity share of 57 percent and 5.3 MMT/year capacity is driving the nylon market

Global Capacity–Demand Analysis

The overall nylon business sentiments improved strongly, as 2016 ended impacting price hikes, increase in consumption trend, and better purchasing momentum
The strong demand drive from automotive and engineering plastics sectors, along with capacity constraint issues, the nylon rebounded from the bearish outlook it portrayed during 2015–2016

Market Outlook

The global nylon market is growing at a CAGR of 2.4 percent, with Asia being the top region for the demand growth
In terms of two main grades in the industry (nylon 6 and nylon 6,6), capacity of nylon 6 is more and stands at ~7.2 MMT/year compared to nylon 6,6 at ~2.3 MMT/year in 2016
Major demand driver for nylon 6,66 is from automotive and engineering plastics industry, while the textile industry lead the demand from nylon 6
With the rebound in demand drive and buying activities, the operating rates have increased to levels between 76 percent and 80 percent

Engagement Outlook

With capacity rationalization being targeted to wage the supply–demand gap, fixed contract models could be engaged, so as to avoid risks involving external factors, like supply disruptions
