According to Ravi Bhandari, Research Head, 6Wresearch, the chemical segment is the dominant segment in the industry and will continue to grow in the coming years. This growth is due to its ability to produce a wide range of synthetic fibers at a lower cost and their widespread use in various industries such as apparel, home textiles, and automotive.
Based on Applications, the apparel segment is the leading segment in the industry and will continue to grow in the coming years. This growth is due to the country's thriving fashion industry and its strong presence in the global apparel market.
On the basis of Artificial Subtype, the polyester segment is the leading segment in the industry due to its low cost, durability, and versatility which makes it a popular choice across various industries. However, the segment that will grow in the coming years is the viscose segment. This growth is due to the increasing demand for sustainable materials and advancements in technology as viscose is a plant-based fiber that offers similar properties to polyester but with a lower environmental impact.
In terms of Type, the artificial segment is the leading segment in the industry due to its wide range of applications and lower cost compared to natural fibers. However, the segment that will grow in the coming years is the natural type segment. This growth is due to the increasing awareness about sustainability and environmental concerns as these fibers are biodegradable and have a lower impact on the environment which makes them a preferred choice among consumers.
