The Glass Filled Nylon Market is projected to grow at a CAGR 4.15% rate between 2021 and 2026. The market is growing due to the high demand from the end-use industries such as automotive, industrial, and electrical & electronics.Automotive is estimated to be the largest end-use industry of glass filled nylon. Glass filled nylon is an ideal and effective solution for vehicle weight reduction. Metal parts replacement in the automotive industry due to ease of mass production and molding polyamides is one of the major drivers for the growth of the segment. Polyamides are also cheaper in unit cost in comparison to metals, which make them an economic alternative.
Polyamide 6 is the most widely used glass filled nylon especially in industries such as automotive and electrical & electronics. It offers superior properties such as good tensile strength, high mechanical strength, and chemical resistance, also it is cost-effective and easily available.
The injection molding segment is projected to register a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The ease of manufacturing glass filled nylon through the injection molding process is expected to drive the market.
The 30% glass filled nylon market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The optimum mix of properties of both polyamide resin and glass fiber, makes 30% glass filled nylon suitable for use in the automotive industry.
APAC is a key region for the growth of glass filled nylon due to the booming electrical & electronics and industrial sectors. China is the single largest consumers of glass filled nylon in APAC.
