Down and Feather Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Down & Feather Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand for Sustainable Down and Feather
End consumers are increasingly becoming conscious of using sustainable down and feather in products, like pillows, comforters, apparel, and others. Thus, non-profit organizations, like responsible down standard (RDS), are trying to find the best ways to minimize and heal the manufacturing impact of fabrics on water, soil, air, and the human population, so that consumers can be confident that the down and feathers used in the products they choose are sustainable. Awareness of animal welfare issues has led to successful growth in using standards such as the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). As a result, it increased the production of down and feather globally. Ducks' feathers and downs dominate the global down and feather market. However, it is expected that the overall demand for sustainable goose feathers and downs will increase during the forecasted period as, gradually, many furnishing product manufacturing companies have started considering the quality of goose downs and feathers to be better than duck for some products.

The revision of standards by the Chinese government is also done to protect the overall rights of online consumers and the interests of manufacturing companies; and further to provide a solid foundation for management, production, and trading. These regulations facilitate the consumers to access standard quality products without fraud, which is often witnessed in online retail stores operating across the region.
