Due to its high strength, high toughness, wear resistance and chemical resistance, nylon is widely used in synthetic fibers, engineering plastics, films and other fields, with an annual production capacity of more than 10 million tons. Among the world's top five engineering plastics, nylon engineering plastics The production and consumption ranks first.
In the past ten years, the compound growth rate of China's nylon market consumption has reached more than 7.5%. However, due to the diversity of nylon materials, various nylons have different development conditions. The domestic production rate of PA6 has reached more than 80%, while the self-sufficiency rate of PA66 is still low due to the limitation of synthetic technologies such as raw material adiponitrile. Although the production capacity of PA6 and PA66 still accounts for more than 90% of the entire nylon market, the production capacity of special nylons such as PA610 and PA12 still occupies more and more market shares with a high growth rate.
From the perspective of the application market, nylon engineering plastics are used in various fields such as automobiles, machinery, electrical and electronic, sanitary ware, home appliances, etc., but new development requirements and opportunities have emerged in the fields of new energy vehicles and wiring harnesses; from the perspective of new product development, Transparent nylon, long-chain nylon, bio-based nylon, etc. are being developed more and more to meet the different needs of the terminal and reduce costs; from the perspective of modification, reinforcement, toughening, and flame retardancy are still the mainstream directions, but resistance to precipitation, size New demands such as stability and high electrification requirements continue to increase; from the upstream supply chain, new nylon modification technologies, low-temperature toughening agents, nylon-specific glass fibers, high-performance flame retardants, and nylon-specific extrusion and injection molding equipment have also ushered in new opportunity.
