The Rise of Staple Acrylic Fibres: Cost-Effective Alternatives to Wool in Textiles and Apparel

 

The staple acrylic fibre market is projected to have grown from USD 2,964.4 million in 2022 to USD 4,230.9 million by 2032. The textile industry, which is a significant user of acrylic fibers and accounts for more than 50% of the production of staple acrylic fibers, is expected to drive a 3.6% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in staple acrylic sales.

Although acrylic fabric is among the least breathable types of textiles, it is preferred for applications requiring heat retention. For instance, tracksuits, hoodies, and athletic pants are frequently constructed of acrylic fabric.

The market has been predominantly influenced by certain macro-economic and industrial factors including demographic dividend, textile industry growth, economic growth, per capita disposable income, etc.

In its natural condition, acrylic is very similar to wool; but, depending on the spinning mechanism employed, it can be made to resemble other fabrics, such as cotton. Acrylic feels like wool and is warm, soft, and lightweight. It has great colorfastness and stains quite successfully.

Staple acrylic has become a popular material for upholstery, carpeting, rugs, and other conventional wool dominated homeware product categories. Demand for staple acrylic fibers from the sectors like textiles, furniture, and automotive is anticipated to increase due to the various qualities that staple acrylic fibre offers.

China is the world’s largest producer of acrylic fabric, as well as the largest market for acrylic garments. The country exports a large portion of its textile and clothing production to several regions of the world.

  • The global staple acrylic fibre market is projected to witness a CAGR of 3.6% during the period between 2022 and 2032.
