Market Overview

Adipic acid market in Australia means the whole process of adipic acid, which consists of producing, distributing, and consuming it in the country, where it is mainly used as a major raw material for the production of nylon 6,6, polyurethanes, plasticizers, coatings, and even industrial chemicals in the automotive, textile, electrical, and construction sectors. The growth of the adipic acid market in Australia is supported by the continued need for automotive lightweighting, the increasing use of electric vehicles, and demand for high-performance nylon in the automotive, electrical/electronic, and textile industries.

The market for adipic acid in Australia is positively affected by government backing through support initiatives such as the Future Made in Australia Package (AUD 22.7?billion), R&D Tax Incentive (AUD 14.4?billion in 2024–25), and the Modern Manufacturing Initiative (co-funding AUD 1–20?million). By means of these programs, the chemical industry is encouraged to adopt environmentally friendly production practices, be up to date with state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, and engage in research and development, and hence gain an edge in the market, which in turn, indirectly, benefits the adipic acid makers and associated industries. The scientific community is concentrating its research efforts on low-emission and bio-based adipic acid production technologies. The areas of focus for the companies are sustainable polymers, recycled materials, and EV component manufacturing.
