The nylon 6 fibers segment is projected to register the higher CAGR in the caprolactam market during the forecast period.

The nylon 6 fibers segment is the largest and fastest-growing application of caprolactam. Nylon 6 fibers are easy to dye, offer deep and bright shades, provide high strength, and are lightweight. These fibers are combined with elastane/spandex fibers to provide good stretch-fit properties. Caprolactam is initially processed to produce polyamide 6 fiber and is then further melted and spun to produce staple, tow, monofilament, and multi-filament form. The fiber has outstanding durability and excellent physical properties. Textile is an area of important end-use for polyamide. The most commonly used polyamide textiles are produced from polyamide 6, polyamide 66, and other co-polyamides. The excellent properties of caprolactam enable the end-product to exhibit pleasant tactical qualities, lighter weight, and higher strength.
