Caprolactam (CPL) is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)5C(O)NH. This colourless solid is a lactam (a cyclic amide) of caproic acid.

Scope of the Report:
This report focuses on the Caprolactum in global market, especially in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa. This report categorizes the market based on manufacturers, regions, type and application.
Nylon 6 fibers are increasingly used in the automotive sector in tire cord manufacture, engine covers, gears, and bearings, owing to their intrinsic properties, such as great tensile strength, durability, and fatigue resistance. Caprolactam is increasingly replacing metals in various automotive applications, such as air intake manifolds in the nylon 6 resin. Therefore, the growing automotive sector is expected to drive the industrial yarns market, which in turn, will drive the caprolactum market.
Based on the end-product, Nylon 6 fibers are the major end-products and have an approximately 55% market share. Owing to the superior chemical as well as physical characteristics of caprolactam, such as lightweight and high tensile strength, nylon 6 fibers are increasingly used in various textile and carpets applications.
Asia-Pacific is the largest market for caprolactum and it accounts to more than 65% of the global market, in terms of demand. This is due to a strong need from the engineering plastics and textiles industries. China is the world’s largest market for caprolactam. Asia-Pacific is expected to show a positive growth during the forecasted period due to a rise in the textile and automotive industries in the region.
The worldwide market for Caprolactum is expected to grow at a CAGR of roughly xx% over the next five years, will reach xx million US$ in 2023, from xx million US$ in 2017, according to a new study.
