China to remain as a market leader in the region
- The Asia-Pacific region is the largest consumer of polyamides globally, holding a share of over 50.86% in 2022. In this region, polyamides are used extensively in a variety of applications, including electrical and electronics, automotive, consumer goods, and food packaging industries.
- In 2019, due to geopolitical tensions, global trade saw a minor decline. This decline was particularly pronounced in Malaysia, resulting in the country's first full-year drop in a decade. Consequently, the demand for polyamides in the country fell by 10.09% compared to 2018, whereas the regional demand experienced a Y-o-Y decrease of 2.53%. In 2020, various restrictive factors, such as worker unavailability and raw material shortages resulting from operational and trade restrictions during the pandemic, severely impacted various end-user industries. This factor, in turn, negatively affected the polyamide demand in the region.
- However, in 2021, as restrictions eased, polyamide demand returned to pre-pandemic levels. This resurgence was primarily driven by the rapid growth in industrial activities in countries like Australia and Malaysia. This growth trend is expected to continue throughout the forecast period, with China expected to witness the highest growth in polyamide demand among all countries. Overall, polyamide demand from the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to register a CAGR of 4.81% in terms of volume during the forecast period.

| Kevlar | Kevlar is the commonly referred name for aramid fiber, which was initially a Dupont brand for aramid fiber. Any group of lightweight, heat-resistant, solid, synthetic, aromatic polyamide materials that are fashioned into fibers, filaments, or sheets is called aramid fiber. They are classified into Para-aramid and Meta-aramid. |
| Laminate | A structure or surface composed of sequential layers of material bonded under pressure and heat to build up to the desired shape and width. |
| Nylon | They are synthetic fiber-forming polyamides formed into yarns and monofilaments. These fibers possess excellent tensile strength, durability, and elasticity. They have high melting points and can resist chemicals and various liquids. |
| PET preform | A preform is an intermediate product that is subsequently blown into a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle or a container. |
| Plastic compounding | Compounding consists of preparing plastic formulations by mixing and/or blending polymers and additives in a molten state to achieve the desired characteristics. These blends are automatically dosed with fixed setpoints usually through feeders/hoppers. |
| Plastic pellets | Plastic pellets, also known as pre-production pellets or nurdles, are the building blocks for nearly every product made of plastic. |
| Polymerization | It is a chemical reaction of several monomer molecules to form polymer chains that form stable covalent bonds. |
| Styrene Copolymers | A copolymer is a polymer derived from more than one species of monomer, and a styrene copolymer is a chain of polymers consisting of styrene and acrylate. |
| Thermoplastics | Thermoplastics are defined as polymers that become soft material when it is heated and becomes hard when it is cooled. Thermoplastics have wide-ranging properties and can be remolded and recycled without affecting their physical properties. |
| Virgin Plastic | It is a basic form of plastic that has never been used, processed, or developed. It may be considered more valuable than recycled or already used materials. |
