WP Report Adipic Acid This World Petrochemical (WP) report on Adipic Acid contains complete global and country supply/demand balances for the base year, the past five years and five and ten year projections.  The complete report including the analyses and supply/demand tables contains approximately 95 pages.  There is also a table showing all global producers, their locations, and capacities (current, historical and future) to produce Adipic Acid, as well as capacities for derivative products.

Nylon 66 plastics and fibers accounted for almost 61% of global adipic acid consumption in 2007, followed by polyurethanes with 24% of total consumption.  Another use for adipic acid is in the production of plasticizers.  The following pie chart shows world consumption of adipic acid by end use:
