Asia Pacific Nylon COVID 19 Insights:

The nylon monofilament market experienced a significant decline in terms of growth and demand during the Covid-19 pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared Covid-19 a pandemic, urging various countries around the world to declare it a medical emergency.

 

As a result, many countries' economies and countries shut down. Travel, trade, and other activities were prohibited in countries all over the world. This hampered the growth of various markets, causing them to suffer massive losses. The market for nylon monofilament was also severely impacted in terms of production, distribution, sales, and marketing. However, the nylon monofilament market is expected to recover by the end of 2021.

 

Asia Pacific Nylon Market Dynamics:

Asia Pacific Nylon Market Drivers:

1. Growing Agricultural Sector

One of the major factors driving the demand for nylon monofilament market is the growing agriculture sector around the world, as it is primarily used as nylon fishing line. The total value of farm production in Japan in 2021 was US$84,162 million, a 2.63% increase from US$81,999 in past years. Market value for agriculture product in India is US$ 276.7 Bn. Cereal have highest market share in agriculture products.

 

1. The growing number of diabetes patients across the country

Nylon monofilament is used to screen diabetic feet for loss of protective sensation. This is done to see how the nerves react to vibration and temperature changes. As a result, the rise in diabetes cases around the world is increasing demand for the nylon monofilament market. 

 

In India, Approximately 74.2 million adults (20-79 years) have diabetes as of 2021, with the number of cases expected to rise to 124.8 million during the forecast period. Diabetes also resulted in at least $760 billion in health-care costs in 2021. This will result in an increase in demand.

 

2. Growing Demand of Nylon Monofilament from Fishing Net Segment

Nylon monofilament is a single, continuous strand filament of synthetic fibre. Nylon fishing line is the most well-known monofilament. Nylons monofilaments have higher melting points than polypropylene and are typically extruded at temperatures between 260 and 270 degrees Celsius.

 

A wide range of fishing nets is made from nylon monofilament. Because of its low cost and durability, it is widely used as fishing net. Growth in the fishing sector and rising fish demand are expected to drive up demand for nylon monofilament from fishing net applications through the forecast period.

 

The India Fish Market was valued at US$ 1232 Bn in 2021. The India Fish Market size is expected to grow at CSGR of 10.5 % through the forecast period.

 

3. Increased demand for sports equipment

Increased demand for sports equipment as a result of the rapid commercialization of racket sports is expected to bolster APAC market development. Three-dimensional textile fabric composites made of aromatic nylon have high strength and impact resistance and are widely used in sports protection tools such as protective clothing, gloves, leg guards, and knee guards.

 

Asia Pacific Nylon Market Restraints:

The growth of the nylon monofilament market is being hampered by volatile raw materials

Nylon monofilament is created by refining crude oil with naphtha. Because of the constantly changing supply-demand scenario, crude oil is a highly volatile commodity. One of the most significant challenges to the nylon monofilament market is the volatility of crude oil prices.

 

The price of crude oil decreased by 20.54% in 2023. This reflects the volatile nature of crude oil and is thus one of the most significant challenges to the nylon monofilament market. In contrast, substitutes such as linen, which is highly resistant to many extreme conditions and also less expensive this is significant challenge to the nylon monofilament market.

 

Asia Pacific Nylon Market Segment Analysis:

By Product, Nylon 6 and nylon 66 are two major nylon monofilament products. Because of their large production and widespread applications, these products dominate the APAC nylon monofilament market. Nylon 6 has lower heat resistance than nylon 66 but lower costs, aesthetic benefits, and other advantages such as easy colour ability. China and the United States are the world's largest producers of nylon 6 and nylon 66, respectively, and thus play an important role in the nylon monofilament market.

 

Asia Pacific was the largest market for nylon 66 monofilaments, followed by Europe. In 2021, Asia Pacific demand was 95.1 kilo tonnes, and it is expected to increase to 136.1 kilo tonnes through the forecast period. Demand for nylon 66 monofilaments in North America was 15.1 kilo tonnes in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1 % over the forecast period, reaching 21.2 kilo tonnes in 2027.

 

Because of their voracious consumer goods demand, emerging markets such as China, India, Brazil, and Russia are expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. The fishing sector is expected to expand significantly in both emerging and developed markets.

 

India and China are currently the world's largest fish producers. Higher demand for fish food is expected in Europe and North America as well. This trend in developed and emerging markets is expected to support the nylon monofilament market.

 

In 2023, nylon 6 had a 34.0% market share in the regional nylon monofilament market, followed by nylon 66 and others with 53.7% and 11.8%, respectively.
