Synthetic Fibers Market Projected to Expand at a 6.63% CAGR from 2021 to 2028

The latest study conducted by Market Research Future (MRFR) reveals that the global synthetic fiber market is set to exhibit an above-average CAGR of 6.63% during the forecast period (2021-2028). Unlike natural fibers, synthetic fibers are produced using chemicals. The procedure involves polymer and monomers linking through polymerization. Synthetic fibers are artificial and possess superior chemical and physical properties such as lightweight, high durability, elasticity and wrinkle resistance. This has helped in driving the popularity of synthetic fibers extensively. Moreover, such fibers have a relatively lower-price tag then bio-based or natural fibers. They are used in manufacturing products that require moisture resistance, and easy crease recovery. These essential qualities of synthetic fiber make it an apt material for the textile industry.  Synthetic fibers are increasingly used in clothing, home furnishing, and automotive interior designing applications. By the year 2028, the global synthetic fiber market is expected to reach USD 176,435.6 Million in terms of value.

Synthetic fibers use in automotive interiors and home furnishings manufacturing has increased substantially in recent years. The constantly evolving fashion trends and lifestyles has led to an increased demand for fibers, which is creating opportunities for market players. Further, the supply and demand gap in natural fiber is also acting as a major growth enabler for the global synthetic fiber market. Nonetheless, volatility in raw material prices like those of caprolactam and acrylonitrile has an undesirable effect on the market. Manufacturers are focusing on the production of bio-based or green synthetic fibers to overcome such hurdles.

Global Synthetic Fiber Market: Segmental Analysis

MRFR’s report includes a segmental analysis of the market based on type and application. On the basis of type, the market has been segmented into polyester, acrylic, nylon, polyolefin, and others. In 2017, the polyester segment accounted for over 67% of the market share. The segment is expected to remain highly profitable during the assessment period. The growing demand for affordable and high-performance fiber in clothing and home furnishing is partly boosting the demand for polyester-based synthetic fibers. The nylon segment currently holds the second position and likely to exhibit a healthy CAGR during the review period. Nylon application has increased in manufacturing of products such as nets, tire cords, tarpaulins, hoses, monofilament fishing lines, conveyor belts, seatbelts, tents, and parachutes.

On the basis of application, the market has been segmented into clothing, home furnishing, automotive, filtration, and others. The clothing segment is expected to retain its leading position over 2023. The segment stood at USD 45,102.7 Mn in 2017 and is projected to witness a healthy growth during the assessment period. This can be attributed to the boom of e-commerce and a rise in spending on premium priced clothing.
