Global Leggings Market will observe a CAGR of 5.8% from 2024 to 2032 driven by increased global recycling and sustainability efforts, led by leading companies.

Therefore, in collaboration, Lululemon and Sansara Eco pioneered the world's first recycled nylon line using enzymes.

Leading leggings manufacturers are responding to sustainability demand by incorporating recycled materials, such as polyester from post-consumer products, into their new productions. Through the principles of self-contained circular fashion by meeting and promoting responsible consumption, brands are not only meeting consumer expectations but also contributing to a sustainable future for the fashion industry.
