The high temperature resistant nylon (HTN) market is highly concentrated and the domestic market has huge room for improvement.

High temperature resistant nylon (HTN) is a heat-resistant polyamide, an engineering plastic that can be used in an environment of 150°C for a long time. High-temperature resistant nylon is a high-performance engineering material with many types, including PA46, PA6T, PA9T, PA4T, PA10T, PA12T, etc. Among them, PA6T has the largest market share, accounting for about 40%.

From the perspective of the industrial chain, the upstream of the high-temperature resistant nylon industrial chain is raw materials, involving terephthalic acid, 1,6-hexanediamine, diamine, light stabilizers, anti-aging agents, coupling agents and other raw materials; industrial chain The midstream is the production layer of high-temperature-resistant nylon; the downstream of the industrial chain is the application layer. High-temperature-resistant nylon has excellent high-temperature resistance, high strength, fatigue resistance, and chemical resistance, and is widely used in automobiles, electronics, machinery, household appliances, and transportation. Transportation and other fields, among which automobiles and electronics and electronics are the main application areas of high-temperature resistant nylon, with their combined applications accounting for more than 80%.

According to the “2022-2027 China High-Temperature Nylon Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, the Thanks to the continuous release of downstream demand, the high-temperature-resistant nylon market is gradually expanding. In 2021, the global high-temperature-resistant nylon market will reach US$1.54 billion, and is expected to grow to more than US$2.00 billion in 2027. Globally, the high-temperature resistant nylon market is mainly distributed in China, North America, Europe and other regions. China is the world’s largest high-temperature resistant nylon market, accounting for about 30%.

Although the current domestic market consumption is large, the per capita usage rate of high-temperature resistant nylon is still low due to high prices and small profit margins. my country’s high-temperature-resistant nylon industry started late. Due to technical limitations, many types of high-temperature-resistant nylon cannot yet be commercially produced, and market demand still relies on imports. At this stage, my country’s economy continues to develop in the direction of high quality, and the domestic market demand for high-temperature-resistant nylon continues to rise. The mismatch between supply and demand will force local companies to innovate, and promote the transformation of the high-temperature-resistant nylon industry into the direction of industrialization, innovation, and localization.

The high-temperature-resistant nylon industry has high technical, financial, and R&D barriers, and the industry has high entry barriers. In the international market, high-temperature-resistant nylon suppliers mainly include DuPont, EMS, Mitsubishi, Kuraray, Solvay, and Arkema. , BASF, etc., foreign companies occupy more than 90% of the global market share. In the domestic market, high-temperature resistant nylon suppliers include Shanghai Kingfa Technology, Shanghai Jieshijie New Materials, Henan Zhilian Huanyu, etc.

Industry analysts said that high-temperature resistant nylon has excellent comprehensive properties and a wide range of applications. With the downstream demand market, the development prospects of the high-temperature resistant nylon industry better. my country’s high-temperature-resistant nylon industry started late. Due to technology and cost constraints, domestic high-temperature-resistant nylon has few types and unstable performance. There is still a certain gap compared with foreign brands. In the future, Chinese companies will still need to increase investment in technology and product research and development to improve products. quality, and accelerate the localization and industrialization process of high-temperature resistant nylon.
