Duty caprolactam Grade powder Prices down in Mumbai Market | |
In Mumbai, the price of mid-industrial grade ε‑Caprolactam powder (≈99% purity) dropped from Rs.185/kg on July 14 to Rs.181/kg on July 15, reflecting a Rs.4/kg decline largely due to oversupply in local markets and weakening demand across Asia‑Pacific; Q1 2025 saw a 3.4% quarter-over-quarter price decline in APAC as producers maintained output despite soft benzene and cyclohexanone costs and sluggish downstream activity in textiles and automotive sectors. Caprolactam is the primary monomer for producing Nylon‑6, a high-performance engineering polymer valued for its mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and low friction, and is used to manufacture fibers, engineering plastics, automotive parts, gears, bearings, and medical devices including catheters and implant housings. On the global stage in July 2025, spot prices ranged from US\$1.39/kg in Northeast Asia to US\$1.96/kg in North America*, all significantly lower than Mumbai’s Rs.181/kg (\~US\$2.15), underscoring the relatively elevated cost in India . The global caprolactam market, valued at around USD 16.5–17.5 billion in 2024–25, is poised for robust growth (\~6% CAGR) as automotive, textile, and engineering plastics demand expands, yet persistent regional oversupply and subdued downstream procurement continue to pressure prices.
