Polyester Staple Fiber Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Polyester Staple Fiber (PSF) Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Demand from the Textile Segment
- Polyester staple fiber (PSF) is a synthetic artificial fiber made directly from purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and mono ethylene glycol (MEG), or polyethylene terephthalate (PET)/polyester waste, or recycled post-consumer PET bottle flakes.
- The increasing polyester staple fiber use in sportswear, activewear, etc., is driving its demand in the garment industry, propelling the market forward. The polyester staple fiber market is also benefiting from a surge in its use as a cotton alternative due to cost, thinness, and availability in various styles and colors.
- In addition, various high-tech polyester staple fibers have antibacterial qualities and provide better protection against odor and diseases. The polyester staple fiber market is predicted to grow due to these characteristics throughout the forecast period.
- The textile industry in India is one of the country's oldest and most crucial sectors. It substantially contributes to the Indian economy, accounting for around 14% of industrial production. After China, India is the world's second-largest manufacturer of textiles. In 2021, India exported USD 209.63 million in textiles and apparel, a 30% increase over the previous year, according to the International Trade Administration.
