The global synthetic yarn market is projected to reach USD 287 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4% from 2024 to 2030. This growth is driven by synthetic yarn’s dominant position in the global textile industry, supported by its cost-effectiveness and unmatched functional versatility across end-use sectors. Demand remains strong for sustainable and high-performance fibres for sportswear, medical textiles, and home furnishings, many of which will be on show at Yarn Expo Spring 2026. Taking place 11 – 13 March at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai, the fair will attract Asia-Pacific textile leaders to source cutting-edge solutions. Expected to feature over 600 exhibitors across 27,000 sqm, the platform will enable like-minded suppliers and buyers to connect, seize high-growth opportunities, and drive the industry’s shift towards eco-innovations.
The synthetic yarn market is increasingly defined by a strong sustainability shift, as brands and suppliers actively seek to lower their environmental impact and meet evolving consumer expectations. This has led to rapid growth in recycled PET fibre, biodegradable polymers and cleaner production methods, turning eco-conscious solutions into attractive, high-potential segments. Across the synthetic yarn ecosystem, the circular economy is now a core focus of long-term strategy, supported by rising investment in recycled and bio-based yarns for greener textile applications.
