Rapid growth in urbanisation and increasing requirement of industries are the major factors driving the global yarn market growth. The shift in consumer perception of affordable and comfortable clothing increases the demand for high-value fabrics such as viscose, silk, and hemp. Blended varieties of fibres are also growing exponentially due to significant features of artificial and natural yarn thus opening up new markets and growth opportunities in the coming years.

Instability in production of plant and animal source yarn and stringent regulation on trade of textile yarn products are restraining factors in the international textile yarn market. The international textile yarn market classification is based on sources such as chemical, animal, plant or others. Depending on use, the market is split up into home textile, apparel and industrial. Based on artificial subtypes, the market is separated into categories such as viscose, polyester, acrylic, and nylon. The type segment is bifurcated into artificial and natural type. Further down the line, the natural subtype segment is sub-divided into flax, wool, ramie, cotton, hemp, jute, and silk. Diversification of the global market can be categorised into regions such as Asia Pacific, North America, Europe and the rest of the world.
