Market Trends of Glass Filled Nylon Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Glass Filled Nylon Market according to our research experts:
Automotive Segment to Dominate the Market
- Glass Filled Nylon has been widely utilized in the automotive business effectively owing to its highly rigid nature, high mechanical quality, high level of hardness, and durability. In addition to this, they possess high dimensional security, great fatigue strength, and high mechanical damping properties.
- The above-mentioned properties make this material reasonable for use in parts that are presented to high static loads over significant stretches in high-temperature conditions. As glass fibers tend, at times, to have an impressive rough impact on mating surfaces, these glass fibers strengthened materials are less reasonable for sliding applications.
- Moreover, the automotive industry represented a major share of the market because of the significance of vehicle weight reduction and expansion in guidelines for less fuel utilization of vehicles. Glass-filled nylon yields higher elasticity and dimensional security to motor parts. It is utilized in car motor spreads, parts inside the motor compartment, and under the hood of vehicles.
- However, the decline in the automobile production has negatively affected the demand for glass filled nylon in the past few years.According to the OICA, around 77.62 million vehicles were produced globally in 2020 compared to 92.18 million vehicles that were produced in 2019, witnessing a decreasing growth rate of about 15.8%.
- The decline is majorly attributed to the reduced production in the major automotive hubs such as United States, China, Japan, and Germany. In 2020, these countries witnessed a decline of 19%, 2%, 17%, and 24% respectively compared to 2019.
- All the aforementioned factors are expected to negatively affect the glass filled nylon market during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market
- Asia-Pacific region holds a prominent share in the glass-filled nylon market globally because of the presence of large end-user industries in the region.
- Chinese automotive manufacturing industry is the largest in the world. The industry witnessed a slowdown in 2018, wherein production and sales declined. A similar trend continued, with production witnessing a 7.5% decline in 2019. Additionally, the production volume has reached 25.23 million vehicles in 2020, registering a decline rate of about 2% compared to 2019.
- As the pandemic spread, many auto companies across the country shut down their manufacturing activities due to the nationwide shutdown. In addition to the auto companies based in Hubei, Tesla's new factory in Shanghai was shut down and postponed the production date of its Model 3. Moreover, Volkswagen postponed the production at all of the Chinese plants that it runs in partnership with SAIC.
- In 2020, According to Zvei, the revenue fall rate of the electrical & electronics industry in the Asia-Pacific region is 3% and is expected to bounce back by 6% in the year 2021. Moreover, China accounts for about 40% of the electronics industry worldwide.
- The electrical and electronics manufacturing sector is one of the most prominent sectors in the ASEAN region. This sector accounts for nearly 30%-35% of the total exports from the region.
- Thus, rising demand from various industries is expected to drive the market studied in the region during the forecast period.
