Sinochem News recently, Sumitomo Chemical announced that the company will decommission its 85,000-ton/year caprolactam production facility in Niihama, Ehime Prefecture in October 2022
S&P Global Commodities Insights' Chemical Economics Handbook shows that Japan, once a major caprolactam producer in Asia, has grown its capacity at 6 per year since 2015 due to weak global demand, a shift in capacity to other Asian producers and a loss of overall competitiveness.
The company added that while caprolactam production will be discontinued, operations at its Niihama plant will continue and respond to market demand
