Global Textile Yarn Market Revenue Grows at a CAGR of 5.0%.

Introduction

Straits Research today released its highly anticipated report, “Textile Yarn Market Size & Outlook, 2026-2034”. According to the study, the market size is valued at USD 82.4 billion in 2025 and is projected to expand to USD 127.4 billion by 2034, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%.

Market Dynamics

The growth of the textile yarn market is primarily attributed to advancements in spinning technologies, increasing demand for sustainable and recycled fibres, and the steady expansion of the global apparel and home-textile industries. Manufacturers are investing in automation, digital monitoring, and advanced fiber blending to improve yarn consistency, strength, and production efficiency. In addition, rising consumer awareness regarding environmental impact has accelerated demand for recycled polyester, organic cotton, and bio-based yarns, encouraging producers to diversify their product portfolios.

However, the market faces challenges related to raw material price volatility, energy-intensive production processes, and supply chain disruptions, which can impact manufacturing costs and pricing stability. Fluctuations in cotton prices and the use of petrochemical-based fibres create uncertainty for spinners and downstream textile producers, while increasing regulatory pressure on emissions raises compliance costs.

Despite these constraints, the market presents significant opportunities through the development of speciality and functional yarns, including moisture-wicking, antimicrobial, and high-performance industrial yarns. Several manufacturers are introducing advanced functional yarn lines for sportswear and technical textiles, demonstrating how value-added innovation can support market expansion and improve long-term competitiveness.
