The report offers an analysis of the global market for sustainable fabrics, with 2023 as the base year and revenue forecasts through 2029.

This report is highly relevant due to two key factors driving the sustainable fabrics market. First, the fashion industry has recognized the importance of sustainability for its long-term growth, prompting a shift in production methods and materials toward eco-friendly practices. This shift is fueled by consumers’ increasingly sustainable shopping habits, especially as millennials and Gen Z lead the movement towards environmentally conscious fashion. Second, major product developments by well-known brands are accelerating the use of sustainable fabrics, particularly in categories like handloom (e.g., organic cotton from India), sportswear (brands such as Adidas and Nike), and denimwear (led by Levi’s). Even luxury brands are now entering the sustainable fabric market, further driving its growth despite higher price points.

The following factors are driving the global sustainable fabrics market:

Environmental Concerns in the Textile Sector: The textile industry contributes significantly to environmental issues, including water pollution, water consumption, and carbon emissions. Sustainable fabrics address these challenges by using eco-friendly materials and processes, prompting manufacturers and consumers to adopt greener practices.

Organic and Sustainable Fashion: Conscious consumption is on the rise, with more consumers seeking organic and sustainable fashion. This trend is driven by increased awareness of environmental and ethical concerns, as well as a preference for natural, high-quality products. Sustainable fabrics made from organic or recycled materials are gaining traction in the fashion industry.

Health Risks from Textile Chemicals: Conventional textile manufacturing involves harmful chemicals that can irritate the skin and pose health risks. Sustainable fabrics use safer, non-toxic alternatives, benefiting consumers and workers by reducing health hazards and driving demand for healthier fabric options.
