The global adiponitrile market size is expected to reach USD 25.04 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Adiponitrile Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Application (Electrolyte Solution, Nylon Synthesis, and Hexamethylene Diisocyanate), Production Method, End Use, and Region – Segment Forecast, 2026–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The demand for adiponitrile is expected to increase over the forecast period, driven by the automotive and textile industries. Rising use in the development of personal care products and in the production of nylon 66 are boosting market growth. Rising industrialization, growing urbanization, and increasing environmental concerns further drive the market for adiponitrile.
The wide use of nylon 6,6 in applications such as electronics, automotive, packaging, construction, and consumer goods, owing to its high strength, greater abrasion and wear resistance, fuel and oil resistance, electrical insulating properties, and fatigue resistance, has significantly increased the demand for adiponitrile across the globe.
The demand for adiponitrile produced by hydrocyanation of butadiene is high. This method is increasingly adopted by market players owing to its affordability, mass production, and high efficiency. The nylon synthesis segment accounted for the largest share of the global adiponitrile market in 2025. Nylon is used in the automotive sector for the manufacturing of bearings, slides, door handles, door & window stops, among others. Other applications of nylon include tires and conveyor belts, coated fabrics, furnishings, floor coverings, and weaving, among others.
Adiponitrile is used across various industries. These include automotive, chemical, textile, healthcare, electronics, and personal care. The automotive segment led the market in 2025. Nylon 66 has high mechanical strength and can resist wear. So, it’s increasingly being used by automotive manufacturers for components such as bearings, gears, bushes, and coatings.
The increasing use of electric vehicles and the rising need to modernize vehicles are boosting the growth of adiponitrile in the automotive industry. Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. Rising industrial growth, urbanization, and automotive sector expansion support market growth in this region. The North America adiponitrile market led the market revenue in 2025. The market dominance stems from the high use of these materials in engineering plastics and mobility applications.
