The India Adipic Acid market is anticipated to grow at a steady CAGR of 5.35% by FY2030. Increasing use of Adipic Acid as a feedstock to manufacture nylon 6,6 which is further used in numerous industries is anticipated to spur the demand for Adipic Acid in India.


Adipic Acid is dicarboxylic acid, and it is a white crystalline organic compound with the chemical formula (CH2)4(COOH)2. Adipic acid is an organic molecule containing two total carboxylate groups (-COOH), one connected to each terminal end of the carbon chain and six carbon atoms in total. Since adipic acid has two carboxylate groups, it can be referred to as a di-acid. This acid is primarily used in the production of nylon 6,6. Moreover, it serves as a reactant in the synthesis of polyester polyols, plasticizers, lubricant components, and polyurethanes. Commercial production of this chemical involves reacting cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol.

Growing demand for Adipic Acid in end-user applications such as Furniture and Interiors, Construction, Electronics and Appliances, Automotive, Footwear and Packaging, are mainly driving the market. Due to growing concern about energy saving in India, Indian Polyurethane Association (IPuA) has initiated the use of insulation in buildings through India Insulation Forum (IIF). With the increasing demand for polyurethane in the construction, automotive and furniture sectors as polyurethane possesses high durability, versatility, low cost and high functionality, it directly influences the Adipic Acid market. The above-mentioned factors are anticipated to contribute towards the rising demand of Adipic Acid in the country.

Based on region, the India Adipic Acid Market is segregated into North, South, East, and West. In the historic period of FY2015-FY2022, West India has been dominating the market. In FY2022, West India consumed approximately 38% of the market, owing to the presence of major textile manufacturers located in Western states like Gujarat.

As of FY2022, there are no domestic producers of adipic acid in India. Global players fulfilling the adipic acid demand in India are Asahi Kasei Corporation, BASF SE, Invista, Lanxess AG, Ascend Performance Materials LLC, Chongqing Huafon Chemical Co., Ltd., Shandong Haili Chemical Industry Co., Ltd, LCY Chemical Corporation, Huntsman Corporation and others.
