PA6 (Nylon 6) Prices in China - 1493 USD/MT (Sep 2025)
In China, PA6 prices reached 1493 USD/MT in September 2025, reflecting a softening trend. Weak demand from the textile and packaging sectors and lingering oversupply from earlier high production pressured prices. Export competitiveness also eased as overseas inquiries slowed. Still, stable energy costs and consistent raw material availability supported producer margins.
PA6 (Nylon 6) Prices in Germany - 2032 USD/MT (Sep 2025)
Germany recorded PA6 prices at 2032 USD/MT in September 2025, showing upward momentum. Stronger industrial sentiment and restocking in engineering plastics bolstered demand. Growth in automotive and electrical applications added support, while rising caprolactam costs mirrored tightened European feedstock supply. Freight surcharges and stable energy tariffs further influenced overall import-related pricing.
PA6 (Nylon 6) Prices in Brazil - 2885 USD/MT (Sep 2025)
PA6 prices in Brazil stood at 2885 USD/MT in September 2025, showing a mild decline. Weaker domestic demand and competitive imports constrained market sentiment. A stable currency and balanced crude derivative costs helped limit volatility. Domestic output remained sufficient, though downstream use in industrial and consumer goods sectors lagged expectations. Logistics costs remained consistent.
PA6 (Nylon 6) Prices in UAE - 3286 USD/MT (Sep 2025)
In the UAE, PA6 prices reached 3286 USD/MT in September 2025. Slower regional manufacturing demand reduced market activity, with lower orders for Asian imports. Supply chains operated smoothly, ensuring steady availability even with softened downstream consumption. Stable feedstock and utility costs, along with minimal port congestion and currency stability, maintained overall price steadiness.
What is PA6 (Nylon 6)?
PA6 (Nylon 6) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic produced primarily from caprolactam. It offers excellent mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, thermal stability, and chemical durability. These properties make PA6 widely used in automotive parts, industrial components, textiles, packaging films, and electrical applications. It remains one of the most versatile and commercially significant polyamides globally.
Factors Affecting PA6 (Nylon 6) Supply and Prices
1. Raw Material (Caprolactam) Availability
Caprolactam supply directly influences PA6 pricing. Any disruption in benzene or cyclohexanone markets-its key feedstocks-can elevate production costs and tighten supply.
2. Crude Oil and Energy Costs
As a petrochemical derivative, PA6 prices correlate strongly with crude oil, natural gas, and global energy prices. Higher fuel or power tariffs increase polymer manufacturing and logistics costs.
3. Manufacturing Operating Rates
Producer utilization rates across the USA, Europe, China, and the Middle East impact overall supply. High operating rates often create oversupply, while shutdowns or maintenance tighten availability.
4. Logistics and Freight Conditions
Shipping congestion, freight surcharges, and inland transport costs influence the final cost of PA6. Regions dependent on imports are more sensitive to freight fluctuations.
5. Demand from Key End-use Industries
Automotive, textile, engineering plastics, electronics, and industrial applications significantly shape order volumes. Seasonal trends or macroeconomic slowdowns directly affect procurement.
6. Trade Policies & Geopolitical Risks
Tariffs, export controls, environmental rules, or political tensions may disrupt material flows and alter price stability.
PA6 (Nylon 6) Price Index Overview - 2025
The PA6 price index in 2025 reflects mixed regional performance. Europe saw upward pressure due to tightened feedstock supply and higher regulatory compliance costs. The USA experienced mild softness driven by moderate automotive demand but steady imports. China showed downward momentum due to oversupply. Global price behavior largely followed caprolactam costs and energy market volatility.
Latest Market News - 2025
• European producers implemented selective price increases following rising energy and compliance costs.
• Chinese manufacturers faced oversupply challenges as earlier production surges outpaced downstream demand.
• Automotive restocking in Germany and the USA provided periodic support to polymer consumption.
• Freight normalization in several regions reduced logistical bottlenecks, stabilizing supply chains.
PA6 (Nylon 6) Market Trend - 2025
The global trend in 2025 shows a balanced-to-soft market, driven by uneven downstream consumption. Automotive demand recovered gradually, while textile and packaging sectors displayed slower activity. Feedstock costs remained stable-to-firm in Europe but soft in Asia. Overall, price fluctuations were moderate as producers optimized output to maintain market balance.
Future & Current Demand for PA6 (Nylon 6) - 2025
Current Demand
• Automotive components (engine covers, air-intake manifolds, gears)
• Textiles and fibers
• Electrical housings and connectors
• Packaging films
• Consumer goods and industrial components
Most regions maintained stable consumption, though Asia saw weaker textile demand.
Future Demand Outlook
