The market size of caprolactam is estimated to grow from USD 13.1 billion in 2018 to USD 15.6 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 3.59% during the forecast period. Caprolactam or ε-caprolactam is an organic compound and a colorless solid, which is a lactam or a cyclic amide of caproic acid with a melting point of 70°C (158˚F). ε-caprolactam is the only common caprolactam isomer, which is usually dropped. ε-caprolactam is soluble in water and also in most oxygenated and chlorinated solvents. It is primarily used in the production of nylon 6 fibers and resins. Around 68% of caprolactam is consumed in the production of nylon fibers in the textile industry, globally, for carpet and industrial yarns and is also used in engineering resins and films. The nylon/polyamide made from caprolactam is a high-performance plastic and is widely replacing metal-based applications due to its properties such as impact, high temperature, and abrasion resistance; excellent balance of strength, and resistance to bases. It is a multi-characteristic nylon suitable for use in industries such as automotive, consumer goods, electrical & electronics, energy, textile, films & coatings, and packaging.

In terms of geographic coverage, the caprolactam market has been segmented into five regions, namely, APAC, Europe, North America, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. APAC has emerged as the leading consumer and producer of caprolactam with China being the largest consumer. The key players are tapping these opportunities by expanding their production capacity in the emerging economies in the Southeast Asian countries.

In line with the rising demand for caprolactam, Aquafil has been working to deliver efficient caprolactam products for various applications. The Aquafil Group is one of the leading manufacturers of polyamide 6 (PA6) fibers and polymers and nylon. The fibers produced by the company mainly targets two sectors; textile flooring (carpets and rugs) and clothing (underwear, hosiery, and technical sports clothing). The polymers are mainly sold on the engineering plastics market. The company operates through three product/business areas - bulk continuous filament (BCF), nylon textile fibers (NTF), and polymers. In May 2018, Aquafil and Genomatica announced the formation of Project EFFECTIVE, a multi-company collaboration to produce more sustainable fibers and plastics for commercial use by using renewable feedstocks and bio-based technologies. One of the key objectives of Project EFFECTIVE is to develop a more sustainable nylon, made from bio-based caprolactam produced using renewable feedstocks.

LANXESS, a specialty chemicals company, develops, manufactures, and markets chemical intermediates, specialty chemicals, and plastics, worldwide. It operates in five segments: advanced intermediates, specialty additives, performance chemicals, engineering materials, and Arlanxeo. The company offers caprolactam through its engineering materials segment under its high performance materials business unit. In April 2017, the company expanded its production capacity for polyamide and precursors for plastics in Lillo-Antwerp (Belgium) in order to strengthen the competitiveness of this site. Caprolactam is a key precursor for the production of high-tech plastics and used in the automotive and electrical & electronics industries.
