China's zippers and parts industry has been growing an average 18 percent for the past five years.

China suppliers produce nylon/polyester, Delrin/plastic and metal zippers for export. Nylon nylon, synthetic thermoplastic material characterized by strength, elasticity, resistance to abrasion and chemicals, low moisture absorbency, and capacity to be permanently set by heat. After 10 years of research E. I. dominates exports accounting for more than half of total shipments. The products & prices section in this report explains the differences between low-end, mid range and high-end zippers in each product category.
