by Dodecanedioic acid, also known as DDDA, is an organic compound widely used in the manufacturing of nylon-66 and polyurethanes. DDDA acts as an intermediate in the production of these materials and imparts strength, flexibility and durability. Nylon-66 features hydrolytic stability and resistance to oil, grease, solvents and abrasion. Similarly, polyurethanes offer cushioning and insulation properties. With the growing usage of nylon-66 in textiles, automotive parts and industrial filaments and polyurethanes in mattresses, adhesives and coatings, the demand for DDDA is rising substantially.
The global Dodecanedioic Acid Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 720.37 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.9% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Surging demand from thetextile industry has been a key growth driver for the global DDDA market. Nylon-66 derived from DDDA is extensively used in the production of fabrics, carpet fibers and synthetic apparel due to its excellent properties. It is a highly durable and resilient material that retains its shape and is resistant to damage from saltwater, chlorine and detergents. Thus, the rising apparel consumption worldwide accompanied by the shift towards synthetic fabrics have augmented the uptake of nylon-66 and subsequently DDDA over the years. Expanding textile industry in developing economies is anticipated to further support the market growth over the forecast period.
