Glass Filled Nylon Market worth $10.8 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 5.8%


The glass filled nylon market size is estimated to grow from USD 8.2 billion in 2019 to USD 10.8 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. The glass filled nylon market is witnessing significant growth because of the growing demand from industries such as industrial, automotive, and electrical & electronics. Glass filled nylon provides various superior properties such as high strength, dimensional stability, high creep resistance, and chemical resistance.



The automotive end-use segment accounted for the largest share of the glass filled nylon market


Automotive is an important end-use industry segment of the glass filled nylon market. Glass filled nylon is an ideal solution for vehicle weight reduction. It is fast replacing metal parts in the automotive industry due to the ease of mass production as well as ease in molding it. Polyamides are also cheaper in unit cost in comparison to metals, which make them an economic alternative. Glass filled nylon is used in applications such as automotive engine covers, parts inside the engine compartment, and under the bonnet of cars.


Polyamide 6 is the most widely used glass filled nylon


Polyamide 6 is the most widely used polymer in the making of glass filled nylon. In terms of value and volume, polyamide 6 is the most widely used glass filled nylon due to its easy availability and low price. It also offers superior properties such as good tensile strength, high mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. These properties make polyamide 6 based glass filled nylon suitable for various applications in the automotive and electrical & electronics industries.


APAC is the largest glass filled nylon market, in terms of value and volume. China, India, and Japan are the fast-growing economies that contribute to the growth of the market in the region. The booming electrical & electronics and industrial sectors are also bolstering the glass filled nylon market in APAC. China is one of the prominent consumers of glass filled nylon in APAC. The country has become the single-largest consumer of glass filled nylon in the electrical & electronics industry, which is expected to strengthen its position further.


Major players in the glass filled nylon market include BASF SE (Germany), Asahi Kasei Corporation (Japan), Lanxess (Germany), DowDuPont Inc. (US), Royal DSM N.V. (Netherlands), Ensinger GmbH (Germany), Arkema (France), SABIC (Saudi Arabia), Evonik (Germany), and Ascend Performance Materials (US).
