Nylon Chain Report 2010
YarnsandFibers.com, Feb 2011, Pages: 81
This “Nylon Chain Report: 2010” containing over 81 pages provides a comprehensive review of market trends, drivers, issues, and challenges. It is richly annotated with authoritative and unbiased objective description and hard-to-find statistical facts. The report also provides unequivocal views on future potential while throwing light on the prevailing climate in key regional markets and projections upto 2015 for Nylon filament and staple. Latest production processes, end use and derivatives along with the latest producer-wise capacity are added feature of this report. In this report we have attempted to bring to the user global trade statistics on the further downstream segment like spun yarns, fabric, carpet, nylon films and tyre cord.
Global caprolactum production recovered in 2009 to over 4 million tons after declining below that level since 2005. Over the past 10 years, caprolactum output has risen by a modest 1.8% per annum against 1.1% increase in consumption and little higher rate in capacity built up. In 2009, capacity increased to 4.85 million tons while production was 4.03 million tons, implying access capacity of close to 0.8 million tons. Caprolactam consumption was at 3.93 marginally lower than the supply during the year. Demand is yet to recover from the economic downturn of 2008, especially sales to the auto and textile industries.
Nylon accounts for 8.2% of all manmade fibre/filament produced globally making it the second most important after polyester. In 2009, production volume declined 3% following the over 10% decline in the crisis ridden 2008.
Production which was hovering between 3.8-3.9 million tons for the past 5-6 years was down to just 3.3 million tons in 2009 continuing the downswing. Both filament yarn and staple fibre businesses suffered heavy downtrend. Apart from textile yarns, all the other sectors of nylons suffered from decreasing activity with industrial yarn production going down 7% while that of carpet yarns declined 8%.
