Nylon Market Summary

The global nylon market size was estimated at USD 38.39 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 68.44 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2026 to 2033. The increasing demand for nylon in automotive applications is expected to propel the market growth.

The automotive industry is highly concentrated. Even though the product range is high owing to a large number of market participants, approximately 49% of the market is dominated by top players, including GM, Toyota, Ford, and Volkswagen. Nylon is used in engine components such as bushings, bearing, oil containers, wire harness connectors, fuse boxes, cylinder head covers, crankcases, and timing belts.

The production growth can mainly be attributed to a rapid increase in the China market, as well as the consistent growth of the European automotive industry. In recent years, the automobile industry has witnessed robust growth, especially in the Asia Pacific. Infrastructure development and improved socioeconomic trends are among the major factors that have contributed to the growth of this sector. Favorable regulations, a skilled workforce, and government initiatives to offer attractive FDI regulations have led major players to shift their manufacturing bases to regions such as China, India, and Indonesia.

Currently, raw materials account for over 45% of the vehicles' overall manufacturing cost. Steel and aluminum are the preferred raw materials in the automobile industry. However, owing to stringent regulations aimed at improving fuel efficiency and maintaining CO2 emissions at manageable levels, raw material trends are expected to change drastically. Nylon 6 is used as a film and coating to prevent raw materials from corroding.

These trends have led to the adoption of nylon in the automotive industry, as it is more environmentally friendly than plastics. Apart from being lightweight and versatile, the materials also enable greater design flexibility, allowing the production of advanced shapes without compromising the vehicle's safety and stability. Nylon is anticipated to play a key role in the development of the automobile industry over the forecast period.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
