Caprolactam Market 2020 Discover new Industry Opportunities and Key Trends

Global caprolactam industry is driven by factors such as rise in demand for nylon in automobile, consumer goods, electronics and appliances. Additionally, consumer demand and consumer consumption equally propel the market growth in the forecast period. Based on source, the global caprolactam market is segmented into phenol, toluene, and cyclohexane. Based on end-use, the global caprolactam market is segmented into textile yarns, textile stiffeners, film coatings, synthetic leather, plasticizers and plastics. Geographically, the global caprolactam industry includes North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle-East and Africa.


Global Caprolactam Market is expected to rise at a higher CAGR in the forecast period due to proliferated use of Nylon 6 and Nylon 66. Nylon 6 and Nylon 66 are important polyamides and find major applications in woven and non-woven industries. Caprolactam is a monomer for Nylon-6. Nylon 66 is a monomer for Nylon-66 itself is made from adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine. Nylons are exceptionally strong, abrasive, resistant, lustrous, elastic and easy to wash. It provides resistant to damage from oil and many other aggressive chemicals.

Commercial production of caprolactam comprises production of cyclohexane oxime on reaction with cyclohexane with hydroxylamine sulphate in a multi-compartment reactor. In this process, ammonium sulphate is formed as a byproduct. Caprolactam and aqueous solution is then extracted by using toluene as a solvent. Ammonium sulphateis then accumulated via an extractor and is then purified, crystallized, centrifuged and dried.
