China's caprolactam industry enjoyed a steady expansion during the past five years with capacity reaching over 1.1 million t/a as of Jan. 2013 and consumption volume over 1.2 million tonnes. Although China's caprolactam capacity is getting close to meet the domestic demand, China still needs to import a considerable amount of caprolactam every year. Nylon6 is still the largest downstream field of caprolactam in China, but the growth of nylon6 industry is slowing down.
In this report, CCM focuses on the production situation and consumption pattern of China's caprolactam industry in the past five years, as well as prediction in the next five years.
