The demand for nylon 6 is expected to grow significantly in China over the next 5-10 years [18][20][22]. Domestic Supply and Demand Forecast - China's nylon 6 chip production and consumption have shown steady growth, with production increasing from 312,000 tons in 2018 to 502,500 tons in 2023, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 10%. The import dependency for nylon 6 chips has decreased from 11.15% in 2018 to 4.68% in 2023 [25][28]. Production Capacity Distribution - As of the end of 2023, China's caprolactam production capacity reached 6.53 million tons, with 11 companies holding 75.19% of the total capacity. The nylon 6 chip production capacity exceeded 5.34 million tons, with 25 companies contributing to this output [36][39]. Competitive Landscape - The nylon 6 industry is characterized by increasing competition, particularly in the caprolactam and nylon 6 chip segments. Companies are encouraged to enhance their technological capabilities and explore international markets to mitigate overcapacity issues [47][48]. Technological Features - The nylon 6 production process has evolved significantly, with various polymerization techniques employed, including single-stage and two-stage polymerization. The industry is also focusing on improving spinning and twisting technologies to enhance product quality [51][53]. Industry Barriers and Challenges - The nylon 6 industry faces several barriers, including high capital requirements, technological complexities, and increasing competition. New entrants must overcome significant challenges to compete effectively in this mature industry [57][58].
