Key Drivers of PA66 Fabric Cord Market
- Rise in sale of vehicles coupled with growing per capita income and consecutive rise in miles travelled per vehicle has led to high wear of tires. Increase in number of construction activities, industrialization and trade activities has fueled the usage of commercial vehicles, thus fueling the wear of tires and the demand for new replacement tires. PA66 fabric cord is generally utilized in the tire as reinforcement, as its core chemistry delivers a balance of technical properties that competitive yarns such as polyester and even PA6 find it hard to replicate. Thus, a rise in the demand for new tires and an increase in miles travelled by vehicles are boosting the PA66 fabric cord market across the globe.
- Consistent rise in number on-road vehicles and congestion in urban areas have increased the number of road-traffic accidents globally. According to statistics by the European Union, more than 23,400 people lost their lives in road accidents on European roads out of which 45% were vehicle occupants. These concerns regarding the severity of a potential vehicle occupant injury during a vehicle accident has increased the adoption of automotive airbags. The U.S. Department of Transportation stated that in 2017, airbags saved lives of 2,790 people on the streets of the U.S. Furthermore, several automakers have included airbags as a standard feature in their every vehicle model to increase their safety rating. PA66 cord is used in making the fabric of the airbag, as the fabric possesses the desired strength, heat stability, good aging characteristics, and energy absorption characteristics. Thus, increasing integration of airbags in automobiles is driving the global PA66 fabric cord market.
Challenges in PA66 Fabric Cord Market
- Rise in demand for PA66 for the manufacture of different automotive and industrial components has led to the shortage of supply in the market and subsequently, is prompting customers to develop and opt for alternative solutions. This, in turn, is restraining the PA66 fabric cord market across globe.
Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on PA66 Fabric Cord Market
- The recent pandemic of COVID-19 has disrupted automotive supply chains, thus creating a shortage of raw materials and components which hampered the sale of vehicles and in-turn decreased demand of PA66 fabric cord. However, demand in global PA66 fabric cord market is expected to increase in the near future, as governments have lifted the restrictions imposed and companies have restarted their operations with precautionary measures.

Europe and North America to hold significant share of PA66 Fabric Cord Market
- Transportation regulatory agencies in North America and Europe including U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the European Union have mandated airbag technologies in all the vehicles sold in their respective jurisdictions. These favorable regulations have increased the application and demand for PA66, thus propelling the share held by North America and Europe in the global PA66 fabric cord market
- The PA66 fabric cord market in Asia Pacific is anticipated expand at a high growth rate during the forecast years due to a rise in vehicle production and sale in countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea. This rise in sale of vehicles boosts the demand for automotive components including tires, and airbags, which in turn drives the demand for PA66 fabric cord.
