In the past, the popular yoga clothing fabrics in China mainly used a combination of polyester and spandex. Although fabrics with higher polyester content are soft, light, and affordable, they have poor air permeability and cannot quickly evaporate sweat; fabrics with slightly lower polyester content have relatively no obvious shortcomings in all aspects and are cost-effective. But after lululemon entered China in 2016,Sports and leisure style has attracted many consumers, making them spend more time wearing yoga clothes in daily life, and they are interested inMoisture absorption, breathability, elasticity and other aspects put forward stricter requirements. Therefore, lululemon’s innovative fabrics made of nylon 66 and high-quality yarns (such as Luon, Luxtreme, Nulu, Everlux, etc.) as raw materials are loved by consumers. In the Chinese mainland market, the three-year compound growth rate of lululemon’s revenue is close to 70%, making it the third largest market after the United States and Canada.
With the advantages of nylon 66 wear-resistant, heat-resistant, and good elasticity gradually being understood by consumers, many brands have also begun to choose it as one of the mainstream fabrics for yoga clothes. Therefore, in recent years, yoga clothes The industry’s demand for nylon 66 has grown rapidly. At the same time, thanks to my country’s first butadiene-based adiponitrile industrial production project last year – Tianchen Qixiang New Material Co., Ltd.’s adiponitrile and series of new material project phase I officially put into production, the industry of adiponitrile and nylon 66 The scale continues to expand. At present, the domestic production capacity of adiponitrile under construction and proposed construction has exceeded 4 million tons, and the total production capacity of nylon 66 under construction and proposed construction has exceeded 5 million tons. It is expected that the application of nylon 66 in the textile and garment field will grow rapidly, bringing a broader development space for the industry.
