and Industry Forecast till 2025
Nylon 6 fiber and nylon 6 resin have wide applications in automotive and textile industry due to
their high tensile strength and superior elasticity. Automakers are focusing on light weighting of
vehicles in order to improve fuel efficiency and performance. Thus, metallic parts of
automobile are being rapidly replaced by polyamide 6 and nylon 6 due to high temperature and
chemical resistance. For instance, door handles, air bag containers, radiator grilles, relay boxes,
air intake manifold and engine cover, among others are manufactured from polyamide 6 or
nylon 6. Also, nylon 6 have wide applications in electrical and electronic equipment industry
due to high electrical insulation and low weight as compared to metal tubes, which includes
circuit breakers, voltage switchgears, contactors, tubes for wiring & cables protection,
connectors, among others. Also, increasing number of women in the workforce, growing
