Market Segmentation
The adoption of polyester fiber has been increasing in various industries on account of its advantages, including low cost, exceptional strength and flexibility, and recyclability, thus making it a popular choice in the textile business. It is a synthetic fiber that is created by a chemical reaction between acid and alcohol. Polyester fibers have a wide range of applications, from heavy-duty industry sectors like conveyor belts to garments, contributing to their prominent position in the textile sector. Synthetics are derived from petrochemicals and comprise 62% of all fibers produced, with polyester being used most widely. Polyester is the most widely used fiber worldwide. One of the reasons behind the high adoption rate of this fiber in the textile industry is its low maintenance, particularly in comparison to cotton. Furthermore, the wrinkle-free quality, quick-drying time, and high strength of polyester fibers are driving their popularity in garment applications. Polyester fiber is also frequently used in the production of vehicle carpets, seating fabrics, sides, roofs, floorings, door panels, seatbelts, tires, airbags, air purifiers, fuel filters, insulators, and other components. Furthermore, the recyclability of automobile components made of polyester fiber, as well as the use of polyester in the creation of natural fiber composites, allows the reuse of waste material.
The demand in the textile market is growing rapidly with reduced restrictions post-COVID-19 and several garment manufacturing companies resuming their operational activities. After nearly two years of market instability, the global fashion industry is regaining its foundation. Companies have adopted the shift in consumer needs. The industry is searching for new opportunities that have evolved as a result of the pandemic such as masks and personal protective equipment (PPE). Face masks have become everyone's go-to item, with every country requiring them to be worn at all times. Local businesses, as well as luxury and trendy labels, provided a wide range of options for masks such as surgical masks and cloth masks. Up-cycling in-house fabric scraps and waste materials to make face masks were also popular during the pandemic period. The pandemic also gave rise to the sales of leisurewear, as individuals worked, lived, and played from their homes. Work-from-home is a clothing category that emerged during the pandemic period and is going to be there for a long time. Work from home, at-home exercises, and meditation have created a new normal, resulting in increasing demand for existing in-demand categories. Furthermore, in recent months, individuals have become more committed to leading an active lifestyle, which has resulted in a strong demand for sportswear and loungewear.
The performance of the polyester market in the first half of 2021 was hampered due to low demand and volatility in petrochemical and crude oil prices. However, the performance improved significantly in the second half of the year. Due to the rising demand for nonwoven and technical textiles, companies in the market increased their focus on exports & specialized products, and a partial shift of demand away from China could help in both volume and profitability growth. Crude oil prices are affected by a number of variables, including increased production from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Nations (OPEC) and other oil-producing countries, the opening up of economies after the COVID-19 crisis, resulting in higher oil demand, and currency fluctuations.
