Evonik Expands Polyamide Production Capacity in China

Evonik Boosts High-Performance Polyamide Supply

Evonik has taken an important step to expand its polyamide production in China by increasing its manufacturing capacity at its Shanghai site. Moreover, the company successfully completed the trial production of a second polyamide reactor, which is a key development for its growth in the region. This new addition will help Evonik double its production capacity for long-chain polyamides in Asia.

Also, this expansion clearly shows Evonik’s strong confidence in the Chinese market. By increasing its local production, the company aims to better meet the growing demand from customers in Asia. Furthermore, it also helps Evonik strengthen its position as a leading supplier of high-performance polyamides. The company is focusing on providing better support to industries that require advanced materials, especially in automotive and consumer goods sectors.    

Also, the new production line is mainly focused on high-performance long-chain polyamides. These materials are known for their strength, durability, and lightweight properties. Moreover, they are widely used in modern applications such as automotive components, energy storage systems, and high-quality consumer products. Their importance is increasing as industries move toward more advanced and efficient solutions. 

According to Towards Chemical & Materials, the Asia-Pacific polyamide market size accounted for USD 28.84 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 30.90 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 57.53 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 7.15% from 2026 to 2035, due to the greater shift in automotive modernisation.  

Also, this expansion is an improvement in supply chain efficiency. By increasing production capacity in China, the company can respond faster to customer needs and provide a more reliable supply across the Asia-Pacific region. This helps the company become more flexible and better prepared to handle changing market demands.
