The fashion and clothing market is expanding in Asian economies such as India and China due to rising disposable incomes and improving living standards.

Further, the use of smart textiles, which interact with the environment through optical fibres, metals, and conductive polymers, is boosting the technical application segment. Growing consumer preference for sustainable products is prompting major companies to invest in eco-friendly practices, such as DuPont's plant-based faux fur and Eastman's recycling of discarded carpets, which are expected to create new opportunities for the market expansion. Environmental concerns are increasing demand for eco-friendly, biodegradable, and sustainable textiles. Initiatives like the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals 2030 are encouraging consumers to choose products with minimal carbon footprints. This shift towards sustainability is pushing manufacturers to adopt environmentally friendly practices, aligning with the rise of sustainable fashion. Additionally, the demand for technical textiles is growing due to their enhanced functional properties, making them suitable for industrial applications such as healthcare, construction, and automotive sectors.
