The global textile market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.0% from 2022 to 2030, with a value of USD 993.6 billion in 2021. The industry works on three major principles; designing, producing, and distributing different flexible materials, such as yarn and clothing. Several processes, such as knitting, crocheting, weaving, and others, are largely used to manufacture a wide range of finished and semi-finished goods in bedding, clothing, apparel, and other accessories.
Owing to rising consumer spending on clothing and apparel, the fashion application segment led the market and held more than 73 percent of the global revenue share in 2021. The Asia Pacific dominated the market and accounted for over 48 percent share of global revenue in 2021 owing to the increased sales volume of clothing and apparel goods. The market in APAC is anticipated to be driven by increased organized retail penetration, favorable demographics, rising disposable income levels, and positive government policies, particularly in nations like India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.
