Global Textile Recycling Market, Trends & Growth Opportunity, By Source (Apparels, Furnishings, Others), By Material (Cotton, Wool, Nylon, Polyester, Others), By End Use (Furnishings, Apparel, Industries, Others), By Region and Forecast till 2030.
Global Textile Recycling Market
The Global Textile Recycling Market was valued at USD 6.36 Bn in 2022 and is expected to expand to USD 10.03 Bn by 2030 at a CAGR of 4.21% during the forecast period of 2023-2030.
Textile recycling involves the collection of waste textiles through various channels. Once collected, fabrics of similar colors and materials are sorted and arranged batch-wise after removing non-textile materials such as buttons and zippers. The fabrics are also cut in homogeneous sizes. The waste is mixed with oils to ensure that the machinery runs smoothly. Depending on the material type, it is further broken down using either physical or chemical methods. The fibers are then spun into yarns, which are then converted into other value-added products.
Market Drivers
The global market for textile recycling is driven by the increasing textile waste and growing environmental concerns in recent times. Clothing and textile wastes are steadily increasing as the average life of a garment has dropped in recent times. This has a significant environmental impact due to landfill disposal and the incineration process, which produces greenhouse gas emissions.
The increasing awareness about the need to curb the production of greenhouse gasses and preserve the environment is a major driver of the market. Moreover, research and advancements in the field of recycling have opened opportunities to efficiently address the concern of rising textile waste, thus leading to growth in the market.
Market Restraints
The global textile recycling market is hindered by the pre-recycling processes which are time-consuming and slow down the recycling process. This is resulting in the pile-up of waste garments in warehouses, leading to clutter. Moreover, the recycling process of garments involves the use of heavy chemicals, regardless of the garment material, to transform the waste into a desirable form. The use of such heavy chemicals can create hazardous work conditions and may even lead to polluting the environment, making the whole process counterproductive.
Market Segmentation
The global textile recycling market is segmented by its sources, such as apparel, furnishings, and others. Based on the material, the market is segmented into cotton, wool, nylon, polyester, and others. Further, the market is segmented by its end use, such as furnishings, apparel, industries, and others.
Regional Analysis
Europe has been a leader in the market share for textile recycling. The trend is expected to continue during the forecast period as well. Countries such as Germany, France, Italy, and Belgium have been making several efforts to streamline textile recycling. The efforts of these countries will support the Europe region’s dominance in the market share.
Asia Pacific is expected to register significant growth during the forecast period. This is due to the rising consumer awareness of recycling as well as the emergence of several startups that aim to reuse textiles.
