Executive Summary
Executive Summary
In 2000, global caprolactam Global Caprolactam Market Expected to Record a CAGR of 4.1% During the Forecast Period
demand stood at 3,503,390
tons, before increasing to The global demand for caprolactam has been steadily increasing over the last decade. In 2000, global
4,164,201 tons in 2011 caprolactam demand stood at 3,503,390 tons, before increasing to 4,164,201 tons in 2011. A significant
portion of the increase in demand for caprolactam was from the Asia-Pacific region, and the same trend is
expected to continue in the forecast period. The Asia-Pacific region will continue to account for more than
61.3% of global caprolactam demand in 2020. Global demand for caprolactam is expected to grow at a
CAGR of 4.1% between 2011 and 2020, to reach 5,992,732 tons in 2020.

Executive Summary
Increase in Chinese Caprolactam Production and Chinese Domestic Demand to Drive Growth
China accounted for almost
46.1% of Asia-Pacific’s China has been witnessing developments in the caprolactam end-use manufacturing sector during the last
caprolactam demand decade. Demand for caprolactam production in China has the added advantage of relatively low operating
volumes during 2011 costs, and as a result there have been huge caprolactam capacity additions in the country. China accounted
for almost 46.1% of Asia-Pacific’s caprolactam demand volumes during 2011. Demand from China is
currently driving the Asia-Pacific market’s demand for caprolactam.

Nylon and Nylon Derivatives Led the Demand for Caprolactam from End-use Segments in 2011
Nylon and nylon forms like
resins, films and fibers were Nylon and nylon forms like resins, films and fibers were the leading end-use segments for caprolactam in
the leading end-use 2011, with 1,315,315 tons and 2,202,944 tons of demand, respectively. Together they accounted for around
segments for caprolactam in 84% of global caprolactam demand. The industrial and other end-use sectors accounted for the remainder
2011 of global end-use demand for caprolactam in 2011. A similar trend for end-uses of caprolactam is expected
to continue throughout the forecast period to 2020.
