Commenting on the report, an analyst from the report's team said: “One of the major trends emerging in the market is the rapid expansion and investment made in the Asia Pacific region. There will be new capacity additions in the APAC region such as China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation is engaged in manufacturing caprolactam in Maoming, and South China will widen the demand for caprolactam in this region.”

According to the report, one of the major drivers is the increase in disposable incomes in the APAC region. The per capita disposable income in the APAC region is expected to grow along with per capita consumer spending.

Further, the report states that one of the main challenges in the market is the concentration of demand in a few countries. There is a gap between the demand and supply in the Global Caprolactam market because the main production of caprolactam is concentrated in North America and Western Europe while the main consumption is concentrated in the APAC region.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
