Polyester Fiber Market Overview

The global polyester fiber market is estimated to reach at a high CAGR during the forecast period (2024-2031).

Polyester fiber is a synthetic material made of polyethylene glycol and terephthalic acid with good flexibility, wrinkle resistance, and abrasion resistance. Polyester fibers are employed in industrial applications such as automobile tire reinforcing, safety, conveyor belts, and garment and home furnishing materials. Furthermore, these materials can manufacture sportswear and high-quality clothing combined with natural fibers.

Polyester fibers are hydrophobic and dry quickly and they can also be used as insulation in the form of hollow fibers. Polyester fibers can withstand greater abuse than cotton and other textiles and it maintains their shape even in inclement conditions. These fibers can be colored by dope dyeing or pigmentation.

Polyester fibers are widely utilized in home furnishings and garments as woven or knitted materials. Polyester clothing is, in reality, highly prevalent and well-liked. Jackets, shirts, pants, blankets, bedsheets, cushioning and insulating material in pillows, upholstery padding, comforters, and upholstered furniture are examples of polyester fabrics.

Polyester Fiber Market Dynamics

Rising demand for rugs and carpets has escalated the market share for polyester fibers across the globe. Increasing demand for polyester fibers from the textile industry has bolstered the demand for the product for the past decade.

Rising demand for rugs and carpets has escalated the market share for polyester fibers across the globe.

The demand for polyester fibers in the rugs and carpets market has improved the overall market scenario for the product. Polyester is a wonderful option for people seeking a low-cost rug. The material is less expensive than rugs made of nylon or natural fibers.

Furthermore, polyester fibers are stain-resistant and constructed of a soft material, so both pets and humans will like how it feels under their paws and feet. Because it doesn't absorb liquids well, spills and messes can be quickly wiped up; therefore, it is in high demand in the rugs and carpet industry.

Some PET rugs are labeled as being produced from recycled plastic bottles, preventing them from ending up in landfills, making it one of the environmental advantages of buying them, combined with the fact that they can be recycled into new carpets whenever the old ones wear out.

Polyester fiber growth in the rugs and carpet market is further expected to accelerate in the forecast period due to improving market share for the rugs and carpet industry globally. The global carpets and rugs industry has grown significantly in recent years and this expansion can be attributable to several causes. The global carpets and rugs market is projected to grow faster during the projected period due to increased consumer inclination for interior decorating and rising per capita disposable income.

The rise of the transportation and construction industries is one of the primary factors driving the global carpets and rugs industry. Consumers gravitate toward non-geometrical designer patterns and vibrant colors in carpets and rugs, which is expected to improve the global carpet and rug industry in the coming years. Thus, improving the rugs and carpet business is expected to market opportunities for polyester fibers in the forecast period.

Increasing demand for polyester fibers from the textile industry has boosted the demand for the product

The increased demand for sports apparel, quick-dry clothes, and outdoor activity equipment such as tents, sleeping bags, and waterproof liners, among other things, is propelling the global market for polyester fiber forward. Furthermore, polyester fiber is becoming more popular than cotton due to its abrasion resistance, strength, and anti-wrinkle features, which are expected to boost the market growth.

Furthermore, polyester fiber fabrics have great elasticity, wrinkle resistance, shape retention, wash-and-wear performance, and durability, among other qualities, and are widely used in all types of garment materials. On the other hand, polyester fiber is inefficient at absorbing moisture, making the wearer feel hot and sticky, producing static electricity readily, causing clothing to absorb dust and adhere to the body, and providing poor comfort hampers the market growth.

In addition, polyester fibers can be used to make attractive gowns, but it is most known for its wrinkle resistance and ease of care. The material's durability makes it a popular choice for children's clothing. Polyester fibers are frequently combined with other fibers like cotton to provide the best of both worlds.

Polyester fibers are thermoplastic or heat-sensitive, making them popular for garments. Thus, polyester fabrics can have permanent pleats added to them and decorative designs and patterns laser-cut into them. They are also stain-resistant, making them ideal for cleaning. Polyester clothing has a slick, almost silky feel about it. To make the fabric, the fibers can be woven or knitted; however, knitting will give them more flexibility. It is a naturally brilliant fiber that may be easily changed for various applications.

For instance, in June 2020, Meridian Specialty Yarn Group (MSYG) now offers polyester yarns processed with CiCLO technology, allowing polyester fibers to degrade in landfills and the ocean at rates comparable to natural fibers such as wool. In Valdese, North Carolina, the yarn is being processed.

Frequent fluctuating raw material prices and stringent regulations on polyester fiber are hurdling the market's growth

Due to continual development and improvements, polyester fibers have become the go-to fabric for many high-performance applications in garments, general textiles, and the carpet and rug sectors. In addition to being a very eco-friendly substrate, polyester fibers appear to be here to stay. However, the market has seen several challenges due to some of the prominent features offered by polyester fibers.

For instance, the fabric is prone to static buildup and holds odors more than natural fibers. The fabric's high odor holding capacity is a major challenge for the growth of the material in the garment industry.

Furthermore, the pile retention for carpets/rugs made up of polyester fibers is poor compared to Nylon. In addition, polyester fibers are less breathable than natural fibers such as cotton.

COVID-19 Impact on Polyester Fiber Market Growth

Due to a low working force, industrial facility closures, and global supply chain disruptions, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has negatively influenced market size. Polyester fiber is a synthetic material made from crude oil refining. Crude oil output was destroyed due to the pandemic, which negatively impacted the worldwide polyester fiber industry.

Furthermore, due to increased demand for UV-protected and antibacterial clothes worldwide, the situation has been rapidly improving since the last quarter of 2020. The global pandemic produced a significant drop in demand for automobiles worldwide. As a result, demand for polyester fibers used in vehicle interiors has declined significantly in the automobile sector.

In addition, the global economic slump has resulted in a large drop in demand for polyester fibers in the textile industry, a major end-user leading to an impact on the market for polyester fibers.

During the pandemic, however, polyester-based items in the healthcare industry, such as protective covers and gloves, grew dramatically, resulting in significant growth in the demand for polyester fibers in this industry.
