India`s polyester fibers import market in 2024 continued to be dominated by key exporting countries such as China, Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand, and Malaysia. Despite a slight decline in the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 at -1.19%, there was a notable uptick in the growth rate from 2023 to 2024, reaching 6.58%. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market, suggesting ongoing opportunities for market players to strategize and capitalize on the growing demand for polyester fibers in India.

The India polyesters fibers market encompasses various types of synthetic fibers made from polyester polymers. Polyester fibers are widely used in the textile and apparel industry due to their durability, wrinkle resistance, and cost-effectiveness. The market`s growth is driven by factors such as the increasing demand for polyester-based textiles, the popularity of sportswear and activewear, and the growth of the home textiles and furnishings sector. The textile industry`s focus on sustainability and eco-friendly practices has led to the development of recycled polyester fibers, further boosting the market`s expansion.
The India polyesters fibers market is influenced by several drivers. Firstly, the growth of the textile and apparel industry drives the demand for polyesters fibers, which are widely used in various applications such as fashion apparel, sportswear, and home textiles. Secondly, the versatility of polyester fibers, including their blending capabilities with other fibers and the availability of a wide range of finishes and textures, contributes to their popularity among designers and manufacturers. The ease of care and maintenance of polyester textiles also makes them preferable for everyday wear and household textiles. Additionally, the cost-effectiveness and availability of polyester fibers further contribute to their market growth.
The India polyesters fibers market encounters various challenges that impact its growth and competitiveness. Firstly, competition from other synthetic and natural fibers, such as cotton and viscose, poses a challenge for the market`s expansion. The preferences of textile manufacturers and consumers for different fiber types can influence the demand for polyesters fibers. Secondly, addressing environmental concerns related to synthetic fibers, including polyesters, such as microplastic pollution and recyclability, calls for adopting sustainable practices and developing eco-friendly alternatives. Moreover, fluctuations in raw material prices and the availability of cost-effective polyesters fibers imports can impact the pricing dynamics in the domestic market. Additionally, ensuring consistent fiber quality and addressing issues related to dyeing and color fastness is crucial for meeting customer requirements and enhancing market competitiveness.
The India polyesters fibers market witnessed challenges during the pandemic as consumer demand for non-essential products declined. With disruptions in the textile and apparel industry, there was a slowdown in the market. However, the focus on sustainable and recyclable fibers gained importance, providing opportunities for the polyesters fibers market.
Key players in the India polyesters fibers market include Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), Indorama Industries Limited, SRF Limited, and Century Enka Limited. These companies are major producers of polyester fibers used in textiles, home furnishings, and automotive applications. Their strong manufacturing capabilities and global presence contribute to their prominence in the India polyesters fibers market.
