Nylon Market Overview

Nylon Market is a versatile synthetic polymer. It consists of a very long polymer chain with small endlessly repeating segments of atoms that are moulded to produce fibres and fabrics. Nylon is also referred as ‘polyamides’ and is used in everyday products such as containers, ropes, and textile among others. They exhibit superior strength, durability, solubility in organic solvents and acids, chemical and fungi resistance. They are produced from organic chemicals found in petroleum and coal.

Global Leaders:

BASF SE (Germany), Honeywell International, Inc. (US), Asahi Kasei Corporation (Japan), Evonik Industries AG (Germany), DowDuPont, Inc. (US), UBE Industries Limited (Japan), Koch Industries, Inc.
