The growing demand in the construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the injection molding polyamide 6 market in the coming years. Construction involves the planning, designing, assembling, and building of physical structures, facilities, or infrastructure. The industry uses injection molding polyamide 6 to manufacture various fixtures and fittings, including door handles, hinges, and locks. For example, in July 2024, according to the US Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, the value of construction operations increased from $2.01 trillion in May 2023 to $2.14 trillion in May 2024. Therefore, rising demand in construction is boosting the market for injection molding polyamide 6.

Key companies in the injection molding polyamide 6 market are developing advanced polymer solutions, such as Celanyl PA B3 GF30 E, to enhance mechanical properties and reduce weight in automotive applications. Celanyl PA B3 GF30 E is a high-performance polyamide 6 formulation reinforced with 30% glass fiber, providing improved durability and thermal stability. For instance, in October 2023, Celanese Corporation, a US-based materials company, launched new polyamide solutions to improve electric vehicle (EV) component performance. The Frianyl PA W-Series offers flame-retardant properties for large battery components, enhanced flow characteristics, and excellent laser markability, while Celanyl PA B3 GF30 E is designed for semi-structural and structural powertrain applications, delivering high flame resistance and a CTI of 600 after extensive aging. Together, these solutions improve design flexibility, manufacturing efficiency, and electrical safety in EV production.

In September 2024, BASF, a Germany-based chemical company producing injection molding-grade polyamide 6, partnered with Bemis to develop the largest injection-molded polyamide hydraulic tank for compact excavators. This collaboration focuses on lightweight, durable hydraulic solutions for construction equipment. The high-performance polyamide 6 tank provides exceptional strength, chemical resistance, and improved efficiency and sustainability. Bemis is a US-based automotive components manufacturer.
