The supply and demand of the nylon industry is relatively stable and will develop in a green and sustainable direction in the future.

Nylon, also known as polyamide, commonly known as nylon, is a general name containing repeating amide groups on the main chain of the molecule, including aliphatic PA, aliphatic-aromatic PA and aromatic PA. There are many types of nylon, which can be divided into civilian nylon and industrial nylon according to different application fields; according to different fiber lengths, it can be divided into nylon filament and nylon staple fiber; according to different molecular structures, it can be divided into nylon 11, nylon 66, nylon 610, etc. .

According to the “2023-2027 Nylon Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestion Report” released by the Industrial Research Center, nylon has a density It has the characteristics of small size, high strength, good hygroscopicity and wear resistance. It can be used not only in the production of outdoor sportswear and underwear, but also in the manufacturing of home appliances, automobiles, aerospace and other parts. With the continuous improvement of national living standards and the increasing requirements for clothing comfort, nylon, as a high-quality chemical fiber, has continued to grow in demand in the textile field. In addition, as my country’s economic and technological strength continues to improve, and the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry accelerates, the demand for nylon as an ideal wear-resistant plastic in the field of engineering machinery continues to increase. In recent years, my country’s nylon industry has gradually matured, and demand and output have remained relatively stable. In 2022, my country’s nylon demand will exceed 3.7 million tons, and output will exceed 4 million tons.

From the perspective of import and export volume, my country’s nylon export volume is much greater than its import volume, and it is one of the important exporters of nylon in the world. In 2022, China’s nylon export volume will be approximately 380,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of approximately 12%, and the net export volume will exceed 320,000 tons.

my country is the largest textile country in the world. It produces a large amount of waste textiles every year, which has a negative impact on the ecological environment. In April 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments issued the “Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Recycling of Waste Textiles”, proposing that by 2025, a waste textile recycling system will be initially established, recycling capabilities will be greatly improved, and the waste textile recycling rate will reach 25 %, the output of recycled fiber from waste textiles reached 2 million tons. The nylon industry needs to cater to the development trends of the times, actively develop new processes and new technologies, continuously improve production efficiency and resource utilization, and promote the development of the industry in a green and sustainable direction.

At present, there are a large number of domestic nylon manufacturers, mainly concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and other places, and the industry competition is fierce. Under the guidance of national policies and market elimination, the backward production capacity of the nylon industry will gradually withdraw from the market. Large enterprises will occupy more and more market shares with their advantages in technology and capital, and their voice will be further enhanced. Domestic nylon manufacturers include Fujian Yongrong Jinjiang Co., Ltd., Yiwu Huading Nylon Co., Ltd., Guangdong Xinhui Meida Nylon Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Hengyi Group Co., Ltd., etc.

Industry analysts said that as the national fitness awareness continues to increase, the state’s support for the ice and snow sports industry continues to increase, and nylon is one of the key players in the industry. The fabric of choice for high-end outdoor sportswear has a broad consumer market. Domestic nylon manufacturers need to continuously improve production processes, optimize product quality and performance, and meet the increasing diversified and personalized needs of the market.
