Nylon 6-Global Market Insights and Sales Trends 2025
Synopsis
Nylon 6, is a polymer developed by Paul Schlack at IG Farben to reproduce the properties of nylon 6.6 without violating the patent on its production. It was given the trademark Perlon® in 1952. Nylon 6 is the most common commercial grade of nylon. Nylon 6 is tough, possessing high tensile strength. Smaller diameters and thinner thickness sheets are produced by an extrusion process, while larger diameter and thicker sheets are produced by a casting process. A lower melting point of 215oC gives Nylon 6 a slightly lower maximum working temperature of 170oC short term. Nylon 6 is used in a broad range of products requiring materials of high strength. It is widely used for gears, fittings, and bearings, in automotive industry for under-the-hood parts, and as a material for power tools housings. It can also be used in gun frames, such as those used by Glock, which are made with a composite of Nylon 6 and other polymers.
The global Nylon 6 market size is expected to reach US$ 25210 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2023 to 2029. The market is mainly driven by the significant applications of Nylon 6 in various end use industries. The expanding demands from the Automotive Industry, Electronics & Electrical, Packaging Industry and Others, are propelling Nylon 6 market. Standard Nylon 6, one of the segments analysed in this report, is projected to record % CAGR and reach US$ million by the end of the analysis period. Growth in the Reinforced Nylon 6 segment is estimated at % CAGR for the next seven-year period.
