Nylon Filament Yarn demand in India grew at a CAGR of about 5% during 2015-2020 and is anticipated to achieve a healthy CAGR during the forecast period. India is the second largest producer of Manmade Fibers (MMF) and Filaments globally after China. Increasing use of Nylon Filament Yarn in production of sarees and scarves, fishing nets, wrap knits and increasing consumption in automobile sector is anticipated to drive India’s NFY market through 2030. Ease of dyeing, high resistance to abrasion and flexing and resistance to knotting, which enhance their strength and durability, are crucial factors that make Nylon a preferred material for fishing nets. Although, majority of the domestic demand is met through domestic production, cheaper imports from countries like Taiwan, China and Germany is slightly hampering the domestic NFY market. However, imposition of Anti-Dumping Duty in 2018 on imports from EU and Vietnam has encouraged local players to enjoy competitive advantage.

With about 7% contribution to India’s industrial production and approximately 4% contribution to country’s GDP, textile sector in India is projected to grow in future indicating an upward growth of NFY industry. Although, availability of cotton at competitive prices restrict the growth of Man-Made Fiber industry in India, constrained cotton availability in the long term tends to drive the overall market. Nylon Filament Yarn industry is petrochemically driven, hence crude oil prices have a direct impact on the commodity’s production cost. Presently, country’s textile producers are operating at modest rates as actual demand declined slightly due to thinner buying interest and fewer new capacity additions. Surging demand for commercial and technical textiles is further projected to play a crucial role in growth of the domestic NFY market in the country.
