What is Caprolactam?

Caprolactam is an organic chemical compound primarily used as the key raw material for manufacturing Nylon 6, a widely used synthetic polymer. It appears as a white crystalline solid and is valued for its excellent polymerization properties and chemical stability.

Caprolactam is extensively used in:

• Nylon 6 fibers for textiles and carpets

• Engineering plastics and molded components

• Automotive and electrical applications

• Packaging films and consumer products

• Industrial and technical plastics

Due to its essential role in the nylon value chain, caprolactam maintains strong and consistent global demand.

Key Market Trends and Drivers

The caprolactam market is driven by rising demand for Nylon 6 across textiles, automotive, electronics, and packaging industries. Increasing use of lightweight and high-performance polymers, growth in technical textiles, and expanding applications in electric vehicles and consumer goods are supporting market growth.

Additionally, expansion of petrochemical capacity, demand for synthetic fibers, and export opportunities from emerging economies continue to strengthen long-term market prospects.
