ACRYLIC YARN MARKET OVERVIEW

The Global Acrylic Yarn Market is projected to reach USD 8.369 billion in 2025, grow further to about USD 8.596 billion in 2026, and is anticipated to achieve nearly USD 10.637 billion by 2034, progressing at a CAGR of 2.7% during 2025–2034.

Acrylic yarns are a duplication of original wool and cotton yarns. It is industrialized to mimic its usual fiber cousins, such as cotton and wool, at a low cost and in greater quantity. The major alteration between acrylic and natural yarns is in the threads themselves. They are manufactured from petroleum products by melting and extruding the materials into long, thin threads. Manufacturing technology is altering and producers linger to modernize to produce acrylics with a varied assortment of quality and strength.

The main feature motivating the growth of the market contains the increasing demand for the consumption of clothing. Acrylic fabrics are known for their great performance and expensive impression. They have a very small precise gravity, which makes them very light. They are easy to wear in dry and cold environments owing to their high humidity control and lining. These threads are widely used as a substitute for wool owing to their temperature retention, figure retention, and quick-dry abilities. They are also used for developing synthetic cotton, which is moderately less.

Key Findings

COVID-19 Impact

Halt on Manufacturing Operations to Slower Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with acrylic yarn experiencing lower-than-anticipated/higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The rise in CAGR is attributable to the acrylic yarn market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit textile manufacturing which caused a downtrend in profits noted from the textile industry during 2020. The textile industry suffered a loss and half the businesses in the textile and related sector have experienced shut down, leaving more people jobless. The market was adversely crushed by COVID-19 in 2021, as the pandemic caused the slowdown of industries, fabrication, and industrialized services, ensuing in less economic activity. Though, the market is excepted to improve during the coming years.

LATEST TRENDS

Increasing Demand for Acrylic Yarn to Boost Market Growth

The rising use of acrylic yarn in the fabrication of combined fabrics, in addition to other fibers such as wool and cotton, is expected to drive market growth. Combination consensuses improved strength, steadiness, and permeability to the closing fabric. For instance, the combination of wool with acrylic fibers recovers the resistance and toughness of the final product. Also, acrylic-blended wool is easy to rinse and is resilient. Moreover, it makes the yarn softer and more sturdy. Therefore, the growth in the use of acrylic threads for blended textiles is anticipated to influence the market growth during the forecast period.

• The global use of blended acrylic yarns with cotton or wool now accounts for 45% of total acrylic yarn consumption, enhancing softness and durability in textiles.

• Adoption of lightweight acrylic yarns for thermal wear and outerwear has grown by 35% in Asia-Pacific due to increased demand for affordable winter clothing.

DRIVING FACTORS

Advanced Features of Acrylic Fibers to Facilitate Market Development

Acrylic fibers are created from acrylonitrile, which is generally shared with small amounts of additional petrochemicals, to improve the capability of the successive fiber for dye absorption. They are recognized for their wicking ability and dye absorption, which are the foremost causes for fabric creators to choose acrylic fibers. These fibers are widely used as an additional for yarn, owing to their heat retention, shape retention, and quick-dry qualities. They are also used for engineering synthetic cotton, which is moderately less. They are used for making comfortable apparel that has good moistness control, such as thermal wear, outerwear pile fabrics, fabrics, wool cloths, sports clothing, tights, children’s clothing socks, and sweaters.

Growing Urbanization to Foster Industry Progress

 The fast progress in urbanization and the growing necessity for businesses are the main factors that are expected to fuel market growth. The modification in consumer inclination towards reasonably priced and comfy apparel surges the demand for good quality clothes such as silk, hemp, and viscose. Combined variations of fibers are also enchanting huge growth in the market due to substantial features of both natural and synthetic yarn, therefore, opening up innovative advanced prospects during the forecast period.

• Acrylic fibers with high moisture-wicking and dye absorption capabilities are used in over 60% of modern sportswear and thermal garments.

• Rapid urbanization and rising middle-class populations have increased demand for synthetic and blended yarn fabrics by 40% in the past five years.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Side Effects to Hinder Market Progress 

The procedure of developing acrylonitrile, the key chemical in manufacturing acrylic yarns, has a substantial carbon impression. The petroleum goods used in engineering are not ecological, and the product itself may be hazardous. Acrylic yarns endure having an undesirable environmental effect throughout their lifespan. Every time the yarn is washed away, it discharges minute fibers named microplastics into the water source.

• Production of acrylic yarns releases microplastics during washing, impacting nearly 30% of domestic wastewater globally.

• High dependence on petroleum-derived chemicals increases production costs for about 25% of small and medium textile manufacturers, slowing adoption.
