According to a research report published by Spherical Insights  Consulting, the North America Polyamide Market size is anticipated to reach USD 10.1 Billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 4.32% from 2025 to 2035. The market is driven by the increasing demand for high-performance materials in various industries, particularly automotive, textiles, and electronics.

Market Overview

Polyamide, a synthetic polymer, consists of repeated amide bonds, which happen naturally in some proteins, like wool and silk, and the synthetic types of it are nylon and sodium polyaramids. They are non stick and have low friction so that they could be used in many industries like aerospace, electronics, automotive, and telecommunications. The consumer shift towards electronic items like laptops, mobile phones, and smart devices came when companies started implementing the work from home paradigm and people began to create home offices.

In May 2025, Pilot Chemical Company made the announcement of partnering exclusively with Novvi LLC for the introduction of a new eco friendly surfactant technology, biobased alpha olefin sulfonates, to the North American region. Pilot's collaboration with Novvi will result in providing the markets of North Americans, household, industrial and institutional, and personal care with the CalCare AOS biobased alpha olefin sulfonates.

Increasing scrutiny and restrictions imposed by some states on per and polyfluoroalkyl substances PFAS in the products are forcing the manufacturers to look for and settle non- fluorinated high-performance alternatives. The Department of Energy DOE still continues to back the advancement of manufacturing technologies, thus enhancing the development of light-weight polyamide composites for the aircraft and electric cars industries.

Driving Factors

The polyamide market in North America is driven by the automotive industry’s transition from metal to polyamide in various applications such as interior parts, structures, and technical components can be traced to the demand for plastics that are light, safe, strong, and cheap. The growing concern for the environment among consumers has led the producers to channel their resources into R D to come up with bio polyamide made from specialty and castor oil, which in turn is fueling the market expansion.

Restraining Factors

The polyamide market in North America is hindered by the changes in the price of crude oil, geopolitical disruptions, and interruptions in the supply chain, which together make production costs unpredictable and are also the reasons behind the situation when the manufacturers in North America have tight profit margins. The market is also under pressure from competition from PBT, polypropylene, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyetheretherketone (PEEK), which are considered alternative materials.

Market Segmentation

The North America polyamide market share is categorised into product and application.

• The polyamide 6 segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The North America polyamide market is segmented by product into polyamide 6, polyamide 66, bio based polyamide, specialty polyamides. Among these, the polyamide 6 segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. In 2025, Polyamide 6 accouneted the largest share of the North American polyamide market with a leading position of 56.88 , attributed to wide processing window, low cost and established supply contracts with compounders in sectors such as automotive, flexible-packaging, and furniture. The segment's growth is mainly due to the engineering polymers being used, which are very well balanced in mechanical properties, thermal stability, and processing ease. Its impact resistance and abrasion resistance make it suitable for application in automotive parts, electrical & electronic goods, consumer appliances, and packaging.

• The automotive segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.  

Based on application, the North America polyamide market is segmented into automotive, electrical  electronics, household goods & appliances, and others. Among these, the automotive segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. In 2025, the automotive segment occupied a largest share of the North America polyamide market of 30.12%. The growth of the segment is driven by the use of polyamides for the production of lightweight parts, including engine covers, fuel system parts, and inner parts, among others. Their outstanding mechanical characteristics, heat resistance, and durability properties make it possible for them to have the same applications in the industry as the heavier metals which thus leads to the manufacturing of more efficient and powerful vehicles. The transition to fuel-efficient and less polluting cars has been the major driving factor.
