Nylon Market Size and Share Outlook - Forecast Trends and Growth Analysis Report (2025-2034)
Market Report I 2025-08-13 I 157 Pages I EMR Inc.
The global nylon market size was around USD 35.15 Billion in 2024 . The market is further estimated to grow in the forecast period of 2025-2034 at a CAGR of 5.70% , to reach nearly USD 61.19 Billion by 2034 .
Nylon is a strong and elastic polyamide material that can be molten into fibres, bristles, filaments, and sheets, among others. It is a synthetic polyamide and is woven from man-made fibres. It is tough and lightweight, due to which it is extensively used in various end-use industries, such as automotive and electronics, among others.
Nylon was first used commercially in a nylon-bristled toothbrush in 1938, followed by women's stockings ("nylons") in 1940, which became extremely popular. Nylon is known for its high strength, elasticity, and resilience. It is resistant to abrasion and chemicals, has low moisture absorbency, and is easy to wash. These properties make it ideal for a wide range of applications.
It is extensively used in the manufacture of clothing (like hosiery and swimwear), home furnishings, automotive parts, and industrial applications. It's also a common material in ropes, conveyor belts , and parachutes, owing to its strength and durability. There are several types of nylon, each with unique properties. For example, Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6 are the most common types, with slightly different molecular structures and characteristics.

Nylon Market Analysis
The market has been witnessing a consistent growth over the years, driven by increasing demand from various end-use industries. Nylon is widely used in the textile sector for products like clothing, sportswear , and undergarments due to its durability and flexibility. Rapid industrialisation and economic development, especially in emerging economies, further contribute to its demand. The Asia Pacific dominates the market, driven by countries like China and India due to their booming textile and automotive sectors.
Innovations in nylon production and processing technologies are some of the crucial nylon market trends that have expanded its applications. New applications in areas like medical devices and sports equipment are also expected to boost the market expansion.
Market Share by Region
The Asia Pacific Accounts for a Significant Share of the Market
The market in the Asia Pacific region is being driven by the strong foothold of major automotive manufacturers in the region, such as Hyundai, Maruti, Kia Motors, Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, and Nissan, among others. The introduction of favourable government initiatives such as Make in India aimed towards bolstering indigenous manufacturing in countries like India and China is likely to drive the market for nylon in the region. Furthermore, the rising demand for appliances in the region owing to the rising population and rising standards of living is anticipated to augment the nylon market demand.
The Asia Pacific is a major hub for the textile sector. Countries like China, India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam are significant players in textile manufacturing and export. Nylon, being a key material for many textiles, sees high demand in these markets. With the rising middle class and increasing consumer spending in the region, there's a higher demand for consumer goods that use nylon, such as sportswear, home furnishings, and various appliances.
The Asia Pacific region has a strong network of nylon production facilities, contributing to a robust supply chain. This availability can drive regional demand as manufacturers prefer local sources to reduce costs and improve supply chain efficiency. There is also a growing awareness of environmental issues in the region, leading to an increased interest in sustainable and recycled nylon products. This trend could shape future demand and production practices.
Key Players in the Market
Key nylon market players are actively investing in recycled nylon production and exploring the development of bio-based nylon to enhance their sustainability profile. Nylon companies are also developing customised nylon products with specific properties like chemical resistance and flame retardant for use in specialised applications in sectors like automotive, medical, and aerospace, among others.
