The global textile staple market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.9 per cent from 2017 to 2027. Growth in per capita spending in the Asia Pacific region will boost the textile staple market.

Textile components are widely used in transportation vehicles and systems including cars, trains, buses, airplanes and marine vehicles. The automotive sector is witnessing rapid development in China along with parts of Southeast Asia. In a fluctuating economic environment, the Chinese automotive industry has registered steady sales growth. Also, India’s economy is expected to grow at a robust pace in the coming years as most economic indicators predict a positive outlook towards the automotive industry, driven by strong consumer demand. This in turn will have a positive effect on the textile staple market during the forecast period.

China and other developing countries such as India are significant producers of textile staples. However, the region is slowly becoming an important consumer as well, because of consistent growth in incomes driving demand for textile staples. In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in household cotton consumption in developing regions than in other parts of the world. The increased penetration of organised retail is also likely to boost the consumption of textiles in domestic markets, especially in India.
