Global Synthetic Fibres (Polyester, Nylon, Acrylic & Polyolefin) Market: Insights & Forecast with Potential Impact of COVID-19 (2022-2026)

The global synthetic fibres market is expected to reach US$90.20 billion in 2026, progressing at a CAGR of 7.98%, over the period 2022-2026. Growth in the synthetic fibres market has accrued due to the growing population, surging number of fitness clubs, accelerating demand for clothing and apparel, expanding urbanization and rising e-commerce penetration. The market is anticipated to experience certain trends like escalating interest in home furnishing, rapid growth of automotive industry and increasing per capita consumption of fish. The growth of the market would be challenged by frequent fluctuations in raw material prices and stringent government regulations.

The global synthetic fibres market has been segmented on the basis of type and application. According to type, the market can be bifurcated into polyester, nylon, acrylic, polyolefin and other synthetic fibres such as rayon, acetate, aramid, etc. Whereas, in terms of application, the global synthetic fibres market can be split into clothing, home furnishings, automotive, filtration and others.

The fastest growing regional market is Asia Pacific due to the rising demand for clothing from a large population in the region along with rising acceptance of fashion trends from the western culture, increasing demand for synthetic fibres in the automotive sector as the consumer prefers the lightweight vehicle to reduce fuel consumption and growing urbanization. Further, the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 is causing an adverse disruption on the overall economy through halted business operations and manufacturing activities, affecting the demand and supply of synthetic fibres across the world.
