The global polyester fiber market size is anticipated to reach USD 191.57 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is a key sector of the global textile and materials industry and is characterized by its versatility, durability, and affordability. Polyester fibers derived from synthetic polymers find extensive use in various applications, from clothing and home textiles to industrial products and automotive components.
One of the main drivers of the market growth is the booming demand for textiles worldwide. Polyester fibers offer numerous advantages over natural fibers such as cotton, including greater strength, wrinkle resistance, and easy care. These properties make polyester an attractive choice for apparel manufacturers, particularly in regions where cost efficiency is a priority. In addition, technological advances in fiber production have enabled the development of specialty polyester fibers with improved properties, such as moisture wicking for sportswear and flame retardancy for industrial applications.
The market players are focusing on various strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions, and collaborations. For instance, in January 2023, Stein Fibers Ltd. completed the acquisition of Fibertex Corporation as part of its strategy to enhance its product offerings and provide enhanced services to its customer base.
