The market is primarily driven by the significant growth in the automotive and textile industries. In automobiles, caprolactam is replacing heavy metal components for manufacturing airbags, doors, windows, tire cords and gears, owing to its resistance to chemicals, oils and abrasion. Apart from this, caprolactam is useful in the production of textile yarn, industrial yarn, engineering plastics, carpet fibers, and staple fibers. Besides this, several manufacturers are focusing on technological and product innovations by developing bio-based caprolactam with minimal traces of hazardous ammonium sulfate. Some of the other factors, such as rapid industrialization, growing focus on the recycling of caprolactam and ongoing research and development (R&D) activities to improve the cost-effectiveness of caprolactam, are further catalyzing the market growth. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to exhibit a CAGR of around 4% during 2020-2025.
