Presented overview covers existing methods for aromatic heterocyclic polyamides (aramids) production. Aramids application areas are also covered. Aramids are used to produce light, high-strength, heat-resistant, and fire-resistant multifunctional materials. Examples are honeycomb plastics, polymer paper and high-modulus fibers. The latter capable of maintaining high mechanical properties under load at elevated temperatures. In 2018, the global market for aramids was 97,000 tonnes per year. According to the forecast, it will reach 110 thousand tons per year by 2020. Development of production of aramid fibers is important for the global industry.
