Market Overview

Nylon is a synthetic polymer family of polyamides, characterized by long chains with repeating amide linkages, and has seen immense growth. A rise in US data in recent years is due to its many applications across all markets. Because of its strength, degradation resistance, and lifespan, nylon has become a key material in a multitude of applications, from textiles to automotive components. Due to its adaptability and moisture-wicking properties, nylon is widely used in the textile sector for apparel such as outerwear, hosiery, and active wear. Additionally, nylon is used in the automotive sector to produce parts, i.e., gears, bearings, and engine components, because of its impressive strength-to-weight ratio and thermal resistivity. One of the primary drivers of market demand in the United States is the growing use of nylon in consumer goods production. Nylon is lightweight and resistant to wear, and as a result, is a common material in everyday items like backpacks, luggage, and sporting goods. Demand is also increasing due to manufacturers creating sustainable alternatives with nylon from renewable resources, as more consumers are motivated by sustainability. Since nylon is used to create nylon fibres for carpets and rugs in bedrooms, the construction sector also contributes significantly to market demand.

Driving Factors

The growth of the United States nylon market is boosted by the automobile industry, which uses polyamide extensively because of its excellent processability, strength, and durability. The polymer can be used to create a variety of automotive parts because both making and extrusion are ways it can be processed. Polyamide is the go-to polymer for extreme conditions due to its features, including chemical and high-temperature resistance. As such of, polyamide is used to produce automotive parts that come in contact with high temperatures and fluids such as engine oils. Parts made from PA 6 & PA 6,6 materials are comparatively lighter compared to steel components. This factor can lead to huge increases in engine efficiency for conventional IC-powered vehicles.

Restraining Factors

The United States nylon market faces obstacles like plastic pollution. Non-degradable PA 6 and PA 6,6 plastics will remain in the environment for several years. The process of breaking down macroscopic plastics leads to microplastics, which also harm the environment because aquatic life consumes microplastics, facilitating pollution in the oceans.

Market Segmentation

The United States nylon market share is classified into product and application.

• The nylon 6 segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period.

The United States nylon market is segmented by product into nylon 6 and nylon 66. Among these, the nylon 6 segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. The segment is driven by PA 6's unique properties make it an economical alternative to steel, bronze, brass, gunmetal, aluminium, plastics, and rubbers.
