Market Synopsis

According to MRFR analysis, the GLOBAL SPANDEX MARKET is expected to reach over USD 6.78 Billion by the end of 2025 at a CAGR of 7.1%.

Spandex is an elastomeric fiber that can be stretched up to 200% of its original shape. These fibers are known for their excellent strength, high stretchability, and better durability as compared to conventional synthetic fabrics. Owing to the aforementioned properties, spandex fibers are blended with other fabrics such as cotton, wool, and silk and are used in numerous clothing applications. Several garments such as Zenati suits, swimsuits, rowing suits, and exercise apparels are incorporated with spandex fibers on the account of its ability to regain the original shape after stretching.

SEGMENTATION

By Production Process

Solution dry-spinning Process: The solution dry spinning method is used to produce over 94.5% of the world's spandex fibers, thus accounted for the largest market share in 2018. The segment is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period on the account of its cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the dry spun fibers exhibit better elastic recovery than the wet spun fibers.
Solution Wet-Spinning Process: In this process, the spandex fibers are directly extruded in the liquid bath and are treated with finishing agents. The speed of the entire process depends upon the thickness of the fiber to be obtained and can be anywhere from 300–500 miles per minute.
Others: The segment includes extrusion and reaction spinning.

By Type

Four-way stretch type accounted for the largest market share in 2018 and is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. These stretch fabrics have better elasticity and can be extended in both the directions—crosswise and longwise—thus provide extreme mobility and stretchability to its wearer.

Two-way stretch type of fabrics is comfortable to wear but the percentage of stretch relatively less as compared to four-way stretch type fabrics. Additionally, the two-way stretch type fabrics on elongation fail to return in their original shape.

By Application

Technical Textile: The segment held the largest market in 2018 and is expected to showcase robust growth in the coming years. This is largely attributed to the increased demand for durable, lightweight and highly stretchable fabrics for a variety of garments such as cycling shorts, swimsuits, haptic suits, rowing unsuits, and triathlon suits.
