2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Fiber intermediates are used as a raw material in the manufacturing process of polyester, nylon,
Spandex fibers, Anti-freezers, detergents, Paints, polyurethane resins, and these intermediates
are used globally.
Asia-Pacific is the largest consumer of polyester across the world where fiber intermediates are
the major raw materials in polyester manufacturing . Polyester market is expected to grow with a
CAGR of around 10% between 2014-2020 and hence the fiber intermediates maket is expected
to grow parallel during te forecast period. China, South Korea, Japan, India are the major
countries which produce fiber intermediates . Global demand for caprolactam and acrylonitrile
to grow by approximately 3% each year in the coming period. The strongest growth of up to 6%
per year to be seen in China until 2020. The demand for the US and Europe is expected to
remain relatively stable. The demand for polyvinyl chloride (pvc) increased from 8.5%in 2011-12
to 12.8% in 2012-13 however, it is expected to remain stable at 9.4% in 2014-15.

Paraxylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon based on benzene, which is used to produce nylon and
polyester. It is an isomer of xylene . There are similar isomers such as ortho-xylene. Caprolactum
is a fiber intermediate which is a cyclic amide of Caproic acid and it is the precursor to nylon, a
widely used synthetic polymer. Paraxylene is mainly processed into terephthalic acid (TPA),
which in turn is largely utilized to manufacture polyesters or PET plastics.
