Staple Fiber Market Overview:
Global Staple Fibers Market size was valued at $161,591 million in 2016, and is expected to reach $206,919 million by 2023, registering a CAGR of 3.6% from 2017 to 2023. Staple fibers are natural, cellulosic, or synthetic fibers with variable lengths, and are available in a broad range of compositions. They are manufactured either from raw cotton, wool, hemp, or flax, among which cotton and wool are the most commonly used raw materials. However, staple fibers are being widely manufactured from other raw materials such as angora, alpaca, flax, and mohair. Filament fibers are used for spinning into relatively shorter lengths using a particular type of fiber or in diverse combinations of natural fibers. Staple fibers have several applications such as apparel, automotive, construction, home furnishing, filtration and personal care & hygiene among others.
The global staple fibers market is segmented based on type, application and geography. On the basis of type, the market is categorized into cotton, cellulosic, polyester and others. On the basis of application, the global staple fibers market is segmented into apparel, automotive, construction, home furnishing, filtration, personal care & hygiene and others. Geographically, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
Global Staple Fibers Market Segmentation
Staple Fiber Market, By Type
The polyester segment offers maximum market potential in the global staple fibers market, due to rise in per capita disposable incomes and increase in demand for cost effective synthetic fibers especially in the developing countries of Russia, China, India, Indonesia, and others. In addition, shift in consumer demand and increase in prices of natural staple fibers such as cotton and wool are some other major aspects fueling the demand for polyester fibers in the global staple fibers market. Moreover, owing to technological advances in production methods and excellent chemical, physical and mechanical characteristics, polyester fibers are not only well recognized for their use in general textile, but also play a major role in key end user industries such as aerospace and automotive among others. The polyester segment is expected to register a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period. However, strict government norms on the usage of harmful polyester staple fibers especially for textile applications and fluctuation in raw material prices are some key factors anticipated to hamper the market growth in the near future. Furthermore, investments in R&D activities to produce innovative and less hazardous polyester staple fibers are expected to provide opportunities for growth in the future.
