Adipic Acid Market to Reach USD 11,819.0 million by 2035— Asia-Pacific Leads Surge in Nylon 66 and Automotive Applications
MD, UNITED STATES, November 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global adipic acid market is poised for steady expansion through 2035, fueled by escalating demand for lightweight materials in automotive, textiles, and polyurethanes. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the market stood at USD 6,983.1 million in 2024, advancing to USD 7,325.3 million in 2025, and is projected to hit USD 11,819.0 million by 2035, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%.
The FMI report, “Adipic Acid Market Size, Share, and Forecast 2025–2035,” reveals an incremental revenue opportunity of nearly USD 4.8 billion over the decade, propelled by nylon 66 production, vehicle lightweighting, and bio-based innovations across industrial sectors.
A Decade of Growth Anchored by Nylon 66 Resins and Sustainability:
Nylon 66 resins dominate applications, capturing 41% market share in 2025 and expanding at a 5.0% CAGR through 2035. Automotive end-use follows closely with 38% share, driven by polyurethane foams and engineering plastics for fuel efficiency and EV components.
From 2025 to 2030, the market is expected to add USD 2.1 billion in value, supported by textile durability upgrades and construction insulation demand. Between 2030 and 2035, an additional USD 2.4 billion in growth is forecast, reflecting bio-based adipic acid scale-up and regulatory pushes for lower emissions.
“Adipic acid remains indispensable for high-performance polymers amid global lightweighting trends,” said an FMI research analyst. “Bio-fermentation pathways and catalytic efficiencies are enabling greener production, aligning with OEM sustainability mandates.”
