The Global Synthetic Textile Fiber Market Continues To Grow Owing To the Increased Demand from Fashion Industries Worldwide Despite the Non-Biodegradability of the Material
Synthetic
textile fibers most commonly used in industrial applications are nylon and
polyester fibers. Polyester fibers are more commonly known and used in clothing
and other apparel. The nylon fibers are less well known and used in home
textiles such as bedspreads and throws. Both of these synthetic fibers are
usually spun and woven into textiles for industrial, commercial, and household
applications. The uses for synthetics are nearly limitless, as they can be
processed into almost any shape, size and texture.
The
disadvantages to synthetic textile fibers are that they are prone to damage
from abrasion, heat, moisture, and chemicals. However, most uses are not
affected and the outcome is typically better than natural fibers. Natural
fibers are more expensive and cannot be processed as easily, but are superior
in performance and appearance. Synthetic textiles are good for certain
applications such as heavy-duty gloves and other apparel, while natural fibers
are more suited to hand and body applications.
Market Dynamics
The
main driving factor influencing the synthetic
textile fibers market is the increased demand from various industries.
Synthetic textile fibers have major applications in the textile and fiber
technology sector such as the fashion industry. These fibers are appropriate
for creating various wearable and dress materials. The rapid demand for
synthetic textile fibers from the fashion industry is expected to boost market
growth. According to the European Union, clothing and textile are one of the
most diversified sectors in the European economy that generates a turnover of approximately
US$ 200 billion, with France being the fashion capital of the world. Moreover,
the availability of synthetic textile fiber is abundant since it does not on
agricultural crops, and is this is expected to influence the market positively.
Recently, scientists have been trying to develop bio fibers which are an
alternative to the non-biodegradable non-synthetic fiber.
However,
the non-biodegradability of synthetic textile fibers and volatile prices are
the main restraining factors hindering the market growth.
This
market is distributed in five regions that include North America, Europe,
Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa, and Latin America. Among these, Asia
Pacific is estimated to hold a bigger share of the synthetic textile fiber
market owing to the lack of regulations and growing demand from developing
nations such as India and China. For instance, according to the Confederation
of Indian Industry (CII), the textile industry of India contributes 7% of
industry outputs, 2% of GDP, and 12% of the nation's export earnings, with the
state of Maharashtra being the leading textile producer. The lack of
regulations is enticing major key players to shift their production to the Asia
Pacific. The market in North America is estimated to witness significant growth
owing to the growing production and demand for synthetic textile fiber in the
region.
