簡介目錄

全球己內醯胺市場規模正呈現成長態勢，預計將從2024年的165億美元增加至2032年的238億美元，預測期內複合年成長率為3.7%。己內醯胺主要用於生產聚醯胺6（尼龍6），而聚醯胺6廣泛應用於紡織品和工程塑膠。全球約70%的己內醯胺消耗量用於生產聚醯胺纖維，其餘則用於汽車零件、包裝和其他擠出應用中的聚醯胺6樹脂。市場表現與整個尼龍6產業的健康狀況密切相關，而該產業的健康狀況持續受到宏觀經濟趨勢、能源價格和工業活動的影響。

需求分析

預計2016年至2024年，全球己內醯胺需求將以3%的複合年成長率成長，到2024年將超過680萬噸。需求將主要集中在聚醯胺6的應用領域，包括紡織纖維、地毯、工業絲和工程樹脂。亞太地區，尤其是中國，憑藉其龐大的紡織製造基地和日益成長的工程塑膠使用量，將推動全球己內醯胺需求的大幅成長。

聚醯胺6樹脂因其優異的機械耐久性和耐熱性，廣泛應用於汽車、電子和包裝等各個領域。北美和歐洲對己內醯胺的需求出現疲軟跡象，但亞洲的需求保持穩定。發展中地區的市場狀況受到通膨趨勢、工業成長放緩以及下游產業整合的影響。

近年來，貿易流向發生了明顯轉變，尤其是在中國自給自足能力不斷提升的背景下。中國曾是己內醯胺的主要進口國，但透過迅速擴大國內產能，中國已減少了對進口的依賴。這種轉變正在重塑全球競爭格局和定價動態。

區域分析

亞太地區在己內醯胺的生產和消費方面均佔據市場主導地位。截至2024年，全球超過70%的己內醯胺產能位於該地區，其中中國就佔了近60%的總產能。 2016年至2024年，中國新增產能超過250萬噸，顯著改變了全球供需平衡。平煤神馬、魯西化工和浙江巴陵恆逸等公司正在積極投資擴大產能，並將在整個預測期內持續進行。

歐洲約佔全球產能的20%，但由於能源價格上漲，歐洲面臨巨大的成本壓力。德國、荷蘭和波蘭等國已削減產能，BASF和宇部興產等主要製造商也已削減產能或完全退出己內醯胺市場。北美產能佔全球整體佔有率不到10%，且需求相對低迷，限制了大規模擴張的空間。

市場動態

促進因素－工業應用對聚醯胺 6 的需求不斷增加

己內醯胺消費的主要驅動力是對聚醯胺6的需求，聚醯胺6廣泛應用於紡織、汽車和包裝產業。聚醯胺6具有高強度、耐熱性和耐化學性，使其成為引擎零件、電氣元件和工業織物等應用的理想材料。持續的都市化、基礎設施的成長以及汽車製造業對輕量化和高性能材料的需求預計將支撐己內醯胺市場。紡織品需求，尤其是在亞洲，依然強勁，其中中國、印度和越南等國家發揮關鍵作用。

限制因素－產能過剩和利潤壓力

己內醯胺市場面臨的主要限制因素是中國產能擴張導致的持續產能過剩。需求跟不上供應，導致全球運轉率下降、利潤率低、競爭激烈。歐洲和北美許多老舊工廠已不再具有經濟可行性，導致工廠關閉或規模縮減。中國貿易地位從淨進口國轉變為淨出口國，這產生了連鎖反應，導致其他地區出口減少，並對全球價格構成下行壓力。此外，歐洲高昂的能源成本和環保法規進一步削弱了亞洲以外製造商的競爭力。

簡介目錄

The global caprolactam market is on a growth trajectory, projected to increase from USD 16.5 billion in 2024 to USD 23.8 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 3.7% over the forecast period. Caprolactam is primarily used in the production of polyamide 6 (nylon 6), a widely utilized material in textiles and engineering plastics. Around 70% of global caprolactam consumption goes into the manufacture of polyamide fibers, with the remaining used for polyamide 6 resin in automotive parts, packaging, and other extruded applications. The market's performance is tightly connected to the overall health of the nylon 6 industry, which continues to be influenced by macroeconomic trends, energy prices, and industrial activity.

Demand Analysis

Caprolactam demand globally was estimated to exceed 6,800 kilo tons in 2024, having grown at an average rate of 3% annually between 2016 and 2024. The demand is heavily centered around its use in polyamide 6 applications, including textile fibers, carpets, industrial yarns, and engineering resins. Asia Pacific, especially China, drives the bulk of global demand due to its vast textile manufacturing base and increasing use of engineering plastics.

Polyamide 6 resin is consumed across multiple sectors, such as automotive, electronics, and packaging, where it provides mechanical durability and thermal resistance. Demand for caprolactam has remained stable in Asia while showing signs of softness in North America and Europe. Market conditions in developed regions have been affected by inflationary trends, slower industrial growth, and restructuring in downstream segments.

In recent years, there has been an evident realignment in trade flows, particularly due to China's increased self-sufficiency. The country, once a major importer of caprolactam, has reduced its import reliance by rapidly expanding domestic capacity. This shift is reshaping the competitive landscape and pricing dynamics worldwide.

Regional Analysis

Asia Pacific dominates the caprolactam market both in terms of production and consumption. As of 2024, over 70% of the global caprolactam capacity was located in this region, with China alone accounting for nearly 60% of the total capacity. Between 2016 and 2024, China added more than 2.5 million tons of new capacity, significantly altering the global supply-demand balance. Companies such as Pingmei Shenma, Luxi Chemical, and Zhejiang Baling Hengyi have aggressively invested in capacity expansion and are continuing to do so through the forecast period.

Europe accounts for approximately 20% of global capacity but has faced severe cost pressures due to high energy prices. Countries like Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland have seen capacity reductions, with key producers such as BASF and Ube Industries cutting back or exiting the caprolactam market altogether. North America contributes under 10% to the global capacity, and demand remains relatively subdued, with limited scope for large-scale expansion.

In 2024, caprolactam demand in India was approximately 124 kilotons, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.7%, reaching around 163 kilotons by 2032. India is a net importer, sourcing material largely from Europe and Asia, although domestic producers such as GSFC and FACT supply part of the demand locally.

Capacity Overview

The global caprolactam capacity reached around 9,460 kilo tons in 2024, reflecting strong growth over the past decade, largely fueled by Asia-based investments. China has led this trend, adding nearly 400 kilo tons of new capacity annually over several years. The country's total production is expected to cross 7,800 kilo tons by 2027. Despite these gains, average capacity utilization in China has hovered around 68% in recent years, underscoring persistent oversupply.

Outside Asia, capacity has been trimmed in response to changing market conditions. BASF has reduced its capacity in Germany, while Sumitomo Chemical and Ube Industries have exited the business in Japan. Alpek in Mexico and Fibrant in the US also announced closures of their caprolactam facilities. These adjustments reflect rising production costs and an inability to compete with low-cost Chinese output. As a result of these shifts, the global caprolactam industry is becoming increasingly consolidated in Asia, particularly China. This regional concentration is expected to grow further, altering trade patterns and global price stability.

Market Dynamics

Driver - Rising Polyamide 6 Demand Across Industrial Applications

The primary factor driving caprolactam consumption is the demand for polyamide 6, which is widely used in the textile, automotive, and packaging industries. Polyamide 6 offers high strength, thermal resistance, and chemical durability, making it an ideal material for applications such as engine parts, electrical components, and industrial fabrics. Continued urbanization, infrastructure growth, and the need for lightweight, high-performance materials in automotive manufacturing are expected to support the caprolactam market. The demand from textiles, particularly in Asia, remains robust, with countries like China, India, and Vietnam playing significant roles.

Restraint - Overcapacity and Margin Pressure

The key restraint facing the caprolactam market is the persistent overcapacity driven by aggressive expansions in China. With demand not keeping pace with supply, global utilization rates have dropped, leading to thin profit margins and intense competition. Many older plants in Europe and North America are no longer economically viable, leading to plant closures and operational reductions. The shift in trade status of China from net importer to net exporter is creating a ripple effect, displacing exports from other regions and exerting downward pressure on global prices. Moreover, high energy costs in Europe and environmental regulations further challenge the competitiveness of producers outside Asia.
