Synthetic fiber is produced by mixing a certain combination of natural fibers into a matting and heat forming process. Nowadays synthetic fibers are commonly used for making textiles, napkins, bed sheets, draperies, cushions, blankets, mattress covers, furniture coverings, etc. Synthetic fibers come in different textures, styles, and colors. Synthetic wool, Jute, Sisal, Synthetic rayon, Synthetic flax, Jute, and silk are some of the most commonly used synthetic fibers. Stretch, plush, nylon, and polyester fiber are some of the other synthetic fiber.


 

High demand for product from automotive, filtration, home furnishing, toys, and different types of ropes is predominantly fueling the market growth. The rise in the clothing industry is playing a significant role in the expansion of the synthetic fiber market. Growing consumer focus on home furnishing is driving demand for bed linen, upholstery, blankets, wall coverings, carpets, soft home furnishings, and similar other products. Expansion of the automotive industry is increasing demand for synthetic fiber where it is used in the manufacturing of automotive interior materials is also fostering the market growth. Growing production of automobiles will further favor the market growth. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, 92.8 million motor vehicles were produced globally in 2019.
