Capacity additions around the world are falling “a little short” of the forecast growth in global nylon 6 demand. It expects this to cause a modest rise in plant operating rates over the next five years. Global demand for nylon 66 engineering resin is forecast to grow at an average rate of close to 6% per year up to 2015.
In 2010, global nylon 66 supply was constrained by raw material supply concerns related to butadiene availability and production issues for key intermediates.
