Market Overview:
Speciality Polyamides Market Segmentation by Type (Polyamide 6/10, Polyamide 6/12, Polyamide 10, Polyamide 11, and Polyamide 12); by Application (Automotive & Transportation, Electrical & Electronics, Consumer Goods & Retail, Energy, and Industrial Coatings)-Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2031
Global Speciality Polyamides Market Highlights Over 2022 - 2031
The global speciality polyamides market is estimated to garner around USD 3 billion in revenue by 2031 by growing at a CAGR of nearly 6% over the forecast period, i.e., 2022 – 2031. The market's growth can be attributed to the increasing use of polyamides as a substitute for silk and cotton in the textiles industry. For instance, according to International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC), the global production of cotton declined from 27 million metric tonnes in 2017 to 24.3 million metric tonnes in 2020. Further, the production of silk also declined globally, from over 1,77,500 metric tonnes in 2017 to nearly 90,000 metric tonnes in 2020.

Additionally, rising concerns regarding automobile fuel efficiency, wide use of polyamides in the packaging industry owing to their properties, and high demand for green solutions are also expected to propel the market growth. Moreover, favorable government regulations regarding the polyamides applications in the automotive, textile, and consumer goods industries is also vital factor accelerating market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the speciality polyamides market on the back of the various economic and legal restrictions imposed by many countries across the world. The decline in the growth of the construction industry, automotive industry, electrical and electronics industry highly affected the market which impacted the demand for specialty polyamides.
However, the high cost of specialty polyamides, and availability of other substitutes for polyamide are the key factors restraining the growth of the market.
The market is segmented by application into automotive & transportation, electrical & electronics, consumer goods & retail, energy, and industrial coatings. Out of these segments, the electrical & electronics segment is anticipated to hold the major share over the forecast period on the back of the wide use of polyamides in electronic devices. Further, components are getting smaller in these devices, which dispose high amounts of heat. Production of smartphones, semiconductors, IT solution services, and others is also growing. As of 2020, over 45% of the world’s population owned a smartphone. Therefore, these factors are increasing the demand for thermally conductive plastics.
Global Speciality Polyamides Market Regional Synopsis
Regionally, the global speciality polyamides market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region. The market in Asia Pacific region is estimated to witness significant growth over the forecast period on the back of the growing demand for environment friendly vehicles. For instance, electric vehicles on road increased from over 1 million units in 2016 to nearly 7 million vehicles in 2020.
