Nylon Tire Yarn Market Analysis

The global nylon tire yarn market is expected to project a CAGR of 4.50% during 2023-2032.

• The expanding automotive industry especially in emerging markets is increasing the demand for nylon tire yarn. Nylon is extensively used in the manufacture of tire cords, which are crucial components that help maintain the tire’s shape and enhance its durability. The ongoing rise in vehicle production, coupled with an increasing consumer preference for high-performance vehicles is driving the demand for durable and reliable tire components, such as nylon tire yarn. According to OICA, the United States produced 1,74,5171 million passenger cars and 8 866 384 million commercial vehicles in 2023.
• There is a growing consumer and regulatory emphasis on vehicle safety, fuel efficiency, and performance standards, which encourages the development of high-performance tires. The United States Tire Manufacturers Association successfully advocated for safety-enhancing and pro-competitive provisions to the 2015 federal highway bill known as the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. By raising the bar for tire performance, these provisions help to ensure ever-increasing value for consumers and advance U.S. tire manufacturers’ competitiveness. The provisions will align U.S. tire performance standards with other nations by establishing minimum standards for tire fuel efficiency and wet traction. Nylon tire yarn is prized for its high tenacity, excellent abrasion resistance, and fatigue resistance, making it suitable for use in tires. As manufacturers are focusing on producing tires that offer better speed and load capabilities, the demand for high-quality nylon yarn is rising. Besides, the expanding tire market which is expected to reach US$ 256.8 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9% during 2024-2032 as stated by IMARC GROUP is also propelling the demand for nylon tire yarn.
• Besides, the expansion of the logistics sector, especially post-pandemic recovery which reached US$ 5.4 Trillion in 2023 as stated by IMARC GROUP, and is expected to reach US$ 7.9 Trillion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1% during 2024-2032 is escalating the demand for commercial and heavy-duty vehicles. These vehicles require robust tire solutions that can handle heavier loads and longer distances. Nylon tire yarn, known for its strength and endurance, is ideally suited for such applications, driving its market growth further.

• In September 2021, India-based Century Enka invested INR 300 Crores for strengthening its position in the tire reinforcement market, through the reconstruction of plants and enhancing capacity by 30%. This will help the company in increasing its customer base.

Product Description

Nylon tire yarn is a specialized type of synthetic fiber used predominantly in the manufacturing of tire reinforcement materials. It is derived from nylon known as polyamides, which are produced through a chemical process involving the polymerization of caprolactam. In tire production, nylon tire yarn is primarily used in the construction of tire cords, which are the reinforcing structures in the tire. Tire cords are embedded in the rubber to form the carcass of the tire which provides it with structural integrity and helping to distribute forces evenly across the tire. This reinforcement is essential for the tire’s ability to bear weight, resist impacts, and maintain traction and stability on the road.
