Description

The global Engineering Thermoplastics PA6 and PA66 market size is predicted to grow from US$ 35870 million in 2025 to US$ 52750 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2025 to 2031.

Nylon is a linear thermoplastic, also known as Polyamide. It is a strong, high-performance, engineering plastic with excellent tensile strength, often seen as an alternative to silk, rubber, and latex. It is a commonly used thermoplastic material for various applications like clothing, rubber components like tires, ropes, threads, automobile parts, mechanical components, etc.

It is also referred to by its chemical name – PA (e.g., PA6, PA66 )

PA6 and PA66 denote nylon 6 and nylon 66, respectively. The key difference between PA6 and PA66 is that PA6 is derived from a diamine, whereas PA66 is derived from diamine and diacid.“6” means that the material is conceived with a single monomer in combination with itself. In comparison, “66” shows that the material is developed from multiple monomers combined with itself ( also called comonomers ).The two most commonly known and used Nylon types are PA66 ( Nylon 66 ) and PA6 ( Nylon 6 ). They are often extruded to be used in the textile and packaging industries.

The increasing demand for lightweight and durable materials in the automotive industry, which can improve fuel efficiency, performance, and design flexibility. PA6 and PA66 can replace metal parts in vehicles, such as engine covers, oil pans, air intake manifolds, radiator end tanks, etc.

The rising demand for high-performance and miniaturized electronic devices, such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, etc. PA6 and PA66 can provide excellent electrical insulation, flame retardancy, and heat resistance for these devices. They can also be used for connectors, switches, sockets, circuit breakers, etc.

The growing adoption of bio-based PA6 and PA66, which are derived from renewable sources, such as castor oil or starch. Bio-based PA6 and PA66 can reduce the environmental impact and carbon footprint of the production and consumption of engineering thermoplastics. They can also meet the regulatory and consumer preferences for eco-friendly products.

The innovation and development of new grades and applications of PA6 and PA66, which can enhance their properties and functionalities. For example, glass fiber reinforced PA6 and PA66 can improve their mechanical strength and stiffness. Nano-composite PA6 and PA66 can improve their barrier properties and thermal stability.
