Spandex Market Share, Segmentation and Forecast to 2029
Spandex fiber, also known as Lycra or elastane, is a long-chain polyurethane-polyurea copolymer composed of flexible macro-glycol segments and rigid di-isocyanate segments arranged in a specific order. The fiber is characterized by its exceptional elastic and recovery properties. These characteristics entail its wide-scale use across diverse applications in textile, clothing, and healthcare industries. Some prominent areas of application for spandex fibers include sportswear, casual clothing, undergarments, and home furnishings. Healthcare applications of spandex fiber include compression stockings, hoses, diapers, and bandages.
A rapidly growing population combined with rising consumer disposable income is expected to propel the demand for sports and activewear, leading to the growth of the global spandex market.
The major restrain that may negatively impact the global spandex market is the increasing threat of substitutes such as natural rubber latex (NRL), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and relatively slower economic growth in certain regions.
Increasing development of innovation in spandex fibers is expected to provide opportunity in the global spandex market. However, high price volatility in raw petroleum-based materials is projected to challenge the global spandex market growth.
