Polyester Filament Market Insights, Trends, Opportunity & Forecast (Includes Business Impact of COVID-19)

Polyester, currently is undoubtedly the most desirable and demanded fibre in the textiles industry owing to its improved physical properties, lower price and recyclability, which provides a completely unique set of benefits as compared to any other natural or synthetic fibers. Polyester is a type of polymer that consists of the ester functional group in their main chain. As a specific material, it most commonly refers to a type called polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

Among all the polyester products, the polyester filament yarn production is the highest compared to the other polyester products. Polyester filament is versatile and relatively applicable in large areas including consumer apparel to heavy industrial applications.

Accordingly, global polyester filament market is expected to grow at a steady CAGR in the years to come.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The growth of this market is attributed towards various pertaining factors including the growth in the use of polyester in textile industry including apparel & home furnishing, increasing population along with rapid industrialization and urbanization, increasing awareness about environmental protection, rising demand for polyester filament in manufacturing of automotive textile, expansion of technical textile industry and its increasing demand in healthcare sector, favorable government policies, positive movement in international prices of the raw materials along with increasing innovation and R&D in the global polyester filament market etc.

The demand for polyester filament in home furnishing and apparel industry will continue to be robust and stronger in the coming years. Additionally, its versatility, relative applicability in large areas, fast-drying and lightweight features, makes it a commonly used material in various industries, which also fuel the growth of market.

Sustainability is marking a number of industry verticals and the market for polyester filament market is no different. It is quite interesting to note here that recycled polyester filament is therefore gaining prominence, especially in the production of furniture and also there is growing demand from the construction industry as these are resistant to alkali attacks, and PFRC finds usage as overlays and in pavement quality concrete. Polyester filament yarns, owing to their non-biodegradable property, are used in cement concrete road works, thereby assisting in the conservation of environment.

Interestingly, the home furnishing industry is taking to this yarn instead of cotton and thereby taking the global polyester filament market worth higher. However, higher prices of yarn can result in increasing demand for cotton which may hamper the growth of this market.
