• to learn more about this report

The global polyarylate fiber market size was USD 445 million in 2023 and is projected to touch USD 696.89 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period. In the market study, our analysts have considered polyarylate fiber players such as DuPont, Evonik Industries, Kuraray, and Swift Fiber.

Polyarylate fibers are multifilament fibers produced from liquid crystal polymers (LCP) with exceptional performance. Vectran is the only commercially available melt-spun LCP, and it has a high level of strength and stiffness. For example, Fiber is five times stronger than steel and 10 times stronger than aluminum. Polyarylate fiber also possesses creep strength and resistance properties, low moisture retention, resistance to chemicals, and great property retention at extremes of temperature. The primary drivers of this market are the increasing demand from the textile industry for garment production and rising demand from the home furnishing segment. Growing awareness of recycled polyarylate fiber due to rising environmental concerns is likely to open up plenty of attractive potential for industry expansion.

COVID-19 Impact: Halt on Production and Raw Material Shortage to Impede Sales 

The textile sectors have been impacted in several countries because of the global lockdown imposed during the COVID-19 epidemic. The supply chains, logistic procedures, and workforce availability have all decreased, causing the polyarylate market operations to be moderately affected. Textile industries in countries with low to medium-sized lean manufacturing plant enterprises, such as Vietnam and Bangladesh, have been forced to shut down which has impacted the market demand. Polyarylate fibers are mostly employed in the apparel and textile sectors, the reduction of this end-use sector is directly limiting the growth of the market during the COVID-19 epidemic.

LATEST TRENDS

"Increasing Demand from Textile Industry to Bolster Market Progress"

The increasing use of polyarylate fiber in sportswear, and activewear is driving up demand in the industry, propelling the market forward. The market is also benefiting from a surge in the use of polyarylate fiber as a cotton alternative due to attributes such as cost, thinness, and availability in a variety of styles and colors. In addition, there are various high-tech polyarylate fibers that have antibacterial qualities and provide better protection against odor and diseases. Moreover, due to its increasing attractiveness and adaptability, technical textile is one of the most innovative product sectors in the market. The need for technical textiles is being fueled by the continued expansion of the automotive and medical industries. Emerging economies like China and India are emphasizing the adoption of cutting-edge technologies and manufacturing techniques across a wide range of industries. This has sparked the adoption of technical textiles across a variety of industries.

• By Type Analysis

By type, the market is segmented into solid and hollow.

The hollow segment is expected to lead because of its adoption in medical applications. Certain filter configurations are available due to the flexibility of the strands, which are not achievable in other filtration systems. These factors are likely to influence the growth of the polyarylate fiber market. 

• By Application Analysis

Based on application, the market is classified into carpets & rugs, non-woven fabrics, fiberfill, apparels, and home textiles.

The apparel segment is likely to dominate the market by application, owing to a growth in the use of polyarylate fiber for apparel production, which is less expensive than cotton. These factors may propel industry growth. 

DRIVING FACTORS

"Increasing Awareness and Adaptability to Facilitate Industry Progress"

Advanced textiles are being consumed more frequently as people become more aware of their improved functionality and applications. Traditional production has been influenced by the rising adaptability of unconventional value in textiles to accelerate the speed of innovation and enhance traditional fibers by adding to technical textile development. The shift is due to increased demand for products that are flexible, durable, and have superior features including personal safety, high strength, and lightweight.

The textile sector has seen rapid expansion in most of its product segments, particularly technical textiles, and technological advancements. New technologies are projected to lower production costs, making commercial production of technical textiles possible which is anticipated to drive the polyarylate fiber market.

"Increasing Adoption of Sustainable Products to Magnify Market Growth"

Textile producers and distributors are progressively being obliged to deliver textiles that are sustainably manufactured and free of harmful chemicals due to pressure from governments, non-governmental agencies, and end-users. Large brands and merchants are requesting that their suppliers prove the items' long-term sustainability. For this purpose, restricted substance lists (RSLs) are produced, which prohibited chemicals and their maximum values. Aside from RSLs, which state and which chemicals should be prohibited, and the outlined list of chemicals that can be used. For example, Bluesign, a Swiss corporation, has developed a good list of dyestuffs and chemicals that are available to the company's partners.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Fluctuations in Raw Material Prices to Impede Market Progress"

The prices of raw materials and energy utilized in the production of fabrics are highly fluctuating. These materials' prices have a direct impact on the value chain's units, which include procurement and operating costs. Manufacturers' profit margins are also affected by sudden price increases or decreases. The final price is influenced by raw material prices and availability. Some raw materials' prices are listed on the commodities market, which is tradable on the stock exchange, for price variations from day to day. Therefore, prices are subject to market forces and fluctuations may intensify the high production costs. This may have an impact on the product's demand and supply, limiting market growth.
