Polyester fibers are created from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which can either be recycled or virgin (PET). Due to its adaptability, low cost, high strength, recyclability, elasticity, easy stretchability, and excellent resistance to wrinkles, abrasion, and fungus, it has become the most utilized fiber in the textile sector. These fibers are dry quickly and hydrophobic and can also be utilized as insulation in the shape of hollow fibers. It can hold more wear and tear than cotton and other textiles and keeps its shape even in adverse weather. Dope dyeing or pigmentation can be utilized to color these fibers, which is expected to boost the global market development of polyester fibers during the forecasted period.
The Asia Pacific region is awaited to dominate the polyester market during the forecast period. In countries like India, China, and Japan, owing to an increase in demand from various applications in apparel and home furnishing coupled with a growing population, changing lifestyles, economic growth, and rising per capita income, the need for polyester has been rising in the region.
