Market Overview:
The global polylactams market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for polylactams from various end-use industries, such as automotive, electronics and electrical, packaging, and others. Polylactams are used in various applications owing to their properties such as high thermal stability, low dielectric constant, good impact resistance, and others. These factors are driving the demand for polylactams in the global market. The hydrolytic polymerization segment is projected to lead the global polylactams market during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030.
Product Definition:
Polylactams are a type of polymer that are composed of repeating lactam monomer units. They have a variety of applications, including as engineering plastics, fibers, and elastomers. Polylactams are important because they can be used to create materials with unique properties that can be used in a variety of industries.
Hydrolytic Polymerization:
Hydrolytic polymerization is a chemical process in which lactam (a polylactic acid) is formed by the reaction between lactic acid and water. Hydrolytic polymerization has several advantages over other processes such as fermentation, biotransformation, and chemical synthesis for manufacturing polylactams.
Anion Polymerization:
Anion polymerization is a chemical reaction in which an anion (such as chloride, bromide or iodide) is converted to a polymeric substance. Anions are formed by the loss of cations from a molecule and have greater affinity for lactams. The most common example of this type of polymerization is the conversion of Br+ into Br2+.
Application Insights:
The automotive industry was the largest application segment in 2017 and is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Polylactam based composites are used in various parts of an automobile, such as body-in-white, power trains, chassis and others. The increasing demand for lightweight materials has led to a rise in demand for polylactams which are used as additives during manufacturing of these materials.
Electronics & electrical is another key application segment where PLCs find numerous applications including printed circuit boards (PCB), flexible electronics packaging and semiconductor packaging among others. The rising importance of plastics with high thermal resistance along with excellent moisture barrier properties is expected to drive their consumption in electronic & electrical applications over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to maintain its position over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising demand for lactic acid, which is a byproduct of bacterial fermentation. China and India are among the largest producers of lactose in this region owing to high dairy production in these countries.
Europe accounted for a significant share due to increasing demand from various end-use industries such as automotive, electronics, medical devices, food processing and others.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the medical industry for polylactams as a biodegradable and biocompatible material for implants and prostheses.
- Growing demand from the packaging industry for polylactams as a lightweight, shatterproof, and moisture-resistant material.
- Rising use of polylactams in textile applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and thermal stability.
- Increasing popularity of polylactam composites in automotive applications due to their superior mechanical properties and environmental sustainability.
- Growing research on new applications of polylactams that could open up new markets for the polymer in the future
