Polyamide is a type of polymer having versatile properties. Polyamides occur in both the way, naturally and artificially. Polyamides occur naturally in the form of wool and silk and artificially in the form of nylon, polyamide 6, and aramid among others. Artificial polyamides have properties such as wear resistance, good mechanical properties, low gas permeability, and chemical resistance. Due to its eco-friendly nature, bio-based polyamides are gaining market demand.
The growth of the polyamide market is primarily driven by the growing demand for lightweight vehicles. Moreover, increasing the application of polyamides in the electronics industry also drives the growth of the global polyamide market. On the other hand, strict government rules and regulations are creating a major hindrance to the growth of the market. However, growing investment and new research and development in bio-based and specialty polyamides are expected to create major growth opportunities during the forecast period.
The bio-based and specialty polyamide segment expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period
Based on type, the global polyamide market has been segmented into PA 6, PA 66, and bio-based & specialty polyamides. The bio-based and specialty polyamide segment is expected to grow at a 7.8% CAGR in the global market during the forecast period owing to the increasing prices of petrochemical-based raw materials, the demand for organic materials is expected to rise. Bio-based polyamides are high-quality substitution of Petro-based materials. They are widely used in industries such as automotive and electronics.
Based on application, the engineering plastic segment is expected to lead during the forecast period
Based on application, the market has been segmented into automotive, electrical & electronics, packaging, and others. The automotive segment is expected to lead the global market with a 35% market share and further expected to dominate during the forecast period. The automobile parts such as radiator fans, fuel tanks, oil filter housing, and speedometer gears are primarily manufactured from polyamide engineering plastics. Thus, the growth in the adoption of polyamide engineering plastics in the automotive industry will further enhance its market size in the future.
Asia-Pacific to dominate the global polyamide market throughout the forecast period
Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the global polyamide market and held for nearly 31% market share in terms of value in 2018. Moreover, Asia Pacific has emerged as a major regional polyamide market driven by rising automotive and food packaging applications. Due to large-scale investments in the automotive sector, the market for polyamide is anticipated a rapid growth during the forecast period. Asia-Pacific has experienced an increase in demand for luxury cars due to increased consumer purchasing power, which has resulted in increased consumption of polyamide in this region.
The major players operating in the global polyamide market are BASF SE (Germany), Li Peng Enterprise Co. ltd, (Taiwan), Royal DSM (Netherlands), Ascend Performance Materials LLC (U.S.), Invista Sarl (U.S.), Arkema SA (France), Evonik Industries AG (Germany), Formosa Plastics Corp. (Taiwan), Huntsman Corporation (India), and EMS Grivory (Switzerland) among others.
