Polyolefin Fiber Market Synopsis

According to a new report by Market Research Future (MRFR), the global market for polyolefin fiber is anticipated to showcase a staggering CAGR during the assessment period (2016-2023). Polyolefin fibers are synthetic fibers which are extensively used in rugs and carpet manufacturing due to its properties such as inertness, high tensile strength, and abrasion resistance. Polyolefin fibers are classified into polypropylene, and polyethylene. Polyolefin fibers are majorly used in filament yarn, nonwoven fabric, and ropes.

Polyolefins are preferred over non-metallic and metallic substitutes as they are durable, capable of resisting chemical and physical damages, and more importantly, they are light in weight.

Drivers and Restraints Affecting the Market Growth

Increasing demand for nonwoven fabrics from textile industry by the medical industry due to properties such as resilience, softness, and flame retardant are some of the major reasons galvanizing the polypropylene market growth. With the rising health concern among the consumers, there is an increasing demand for hygienic products. Due to the widening application scope in decoration and the advancement in weaving technology, the usage of polypropylene has increased in tapestries. The demand for synthetic turfs in residential areas, public places, and the sports field have enhanced the market growth. Rise in disposable income and changing fashion trends is further driving the market growth of the apparel industry worldwide. Also, the growing demand for technical textile in agriculture, medical, and automotive is witnessing a significant market growth during the assessment period.

Polyethylene is used in the packaging industry for manufacturing of plastic films, plastic bags, and containers. With the growing demand for packaged food and PET bottles due to eco-friendliness, there has been an increase in the growth of the packaging market worldwide which in turn leads to the growth of polyethylene market.

Labor cost has increased in the China region due to the migration of several people to urban areas may affect the growth of the textile industry over the assessment period, thus leading to the decline in the polypropylene market growth.
