Report Outlook
The global adiponitrile market size was valued at USD 9.29 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. Adiponitrile is increasingly being used in textile, plastic, and fiber industries as an intermediate for the chemical synthesis of hexamethylenediamine. Hexamethylenediamine is used for the production of Nylon 66. Adiponitrile is also widely used for the production of adipoguanamine to make amino resins. The demand for Adiponitrile has increased owing to its biodegradable and environment-friendly properties.
Adiponitrile is widely used for the manufacturing of nylon 66 fibers and resins. The demand for nylon 66 has increased significantly owing to its dimensional stability, superior melting point, and compact molecular structure. Nylon 66 offers greater tensile strength, excellent abrasion resistance, high machinability, and a high melting point.
Nylon 66 is used in a wide range of applications such as textile, automotive, furniture, and packaging among others. The automotive sector uses nylon 66 for the manufacturing of heavy-duty tires and reinforced belts capable of withstanding high temperatures and fast curing cycles. The use of nylon 66 in tire cords of aircraft and off-road vehicle tires offers higher durability, longer life, and high fatigue resistance. Some other applications of nylon 66 include sleeve and slide bearings, wear pads, support and guide wheels, gear wheels, seal rings, and track plates among others.

Industry Dynamics
Growth Factors
In August 2018, INVISTA announced an investment of 1 billion in adiponitrile plant in China to cater to the increasing demand for nylon 6,6 intermediate chemical. The plant is expected to begin production by 2023 and is aimed at the development of advanced, energy-efficient technologies for butadiene-based adiponitrile. The company’s expansion strategy is directed at meeting China’s local needs of adiponitrile for the manufacturing of nylon polymer, fibers, and other specialty materials such as hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) for coatings.
In January 2020, BASF acquired Solvay’s polyamide business. The acquisition is aimed at enhancing the company’s offerings of engineering plastics solutions for autonomous driving and e-mobility solutions. Through this acquisition, BASF plans to strengthen its presence in Asia, North and South America. The new business offers backward integration into adiponitrile, enabling BASF to improve its supply reliability.
