Increasing consumption of nylon 6 resins for manufacturing of engineering plastics which are used as technical components in electrical & electronics and packaging industry is expected to accelerate market growth. Ammonia, cyclohexane, phenol and toluene are some of the key raw materials used for manufacturing caprolactam. Volatile raw material prices, limited availability and stringent regulations have been some of the primary factors challenging market growth. Engineering plastics accounted for over 15% of the global volume share in 2014. Rapid industrialization coupled with tremendous growth in the automotive sector, particularly in Asia Pacific, is expected to have a positive impact on the industry over the forecast period. Innovation in the field of electronics along with increasing consumption of smart phones, tablets, laptops and TVs has resulted in driving demand for engineering plastics, subsequently augmenting market growth. Asia Pacific caprolactam market was estimated at over 2,940.0 kilo tons in 2014. Encouragement of 100% Foreign Direct Investment by the Indian government for domestic automobile industry growth is expected to augment manufacturing sector. This   is expected to fuel nylon 6 resins demand which in turn will have a positive impact on the caprolactam industry over the next seven years. The global industry is fragmented in nature, on account of presence of numerous companies globally. These include Sumitomo Chemicals, Honeywell, BASF, Toray, DSM, Alpek, Ube, Sinopec and Lanxess. In May 2015, Sumitomo Chemicals increased contract caprolactam price by USD 70 per metric ton to USD 1,880 per metric ton. In May 2015, BASF SE increased caprolactam prices by USD 0.05 per pound in North America.
