Spandex Fibers Market: Introduction
·
Spandex is a synthetic polymer. It is also called elastane
fiber. Chemically, it is made up of a long-chain polyglycol combined with a
short di-isocyanate, and contains at least 85% polyurethane.
·
It is an elastomer, which means it can be stretched to a certain
degree. It recoils when released. These fibers are superior to rubber, as they
are stronger, lighter, and more versatile.
·
Spandex fibers can be stretched to almost 500% of their length
Key Drivers and Restraints of Spandex Fibers Market
·
Rise in demand for textiles around the globe is propelling the spandex
fibers market. These fibers are widely used in the manufacture of
sportswear, garments, and casual wears. Increase in disposable income of
consumers is driving the demand for various textiles. Rise in population base
is also propelling the demand for textile, thereby augmenting the spandex
fibers market. According to the U.S Census Bureau, the global population is
expected to reach 8 billion by the end of 2025. However, rise in usage of
substitutes of spandex fibers such as Natural Rubber Latex (NRL) and
Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) is negatively affecting the spandex fibers market.
Spandex Fibers Market: Application Segment
·
Based on application, the spandex fibers market can be divided
into apparel and clothing, medical and health care, home furnishing, and others
·
The apparel and clothing segment dominates the spandex fibers market,
as expanding discretionary income in developing nations is leading to an
increase in requirements for apparel
·
In clothing applications, spandex is usually mixed with
cotton/rayon/polyester or nylon fiber depending on the fabric. Spandex is
durable and recovers to very near to its original length and shape after
stretching.
·
Rise in demand for spandex in applications such as sport wear,
active wear, intimate wear, and others is also likely to propel the market
during the forecast period

COVID-19 Impact on Global Spandex Fibers Market
·
On January 30, 2020, the International Health Regulations
Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak a public health emergency of
international concern. Originating in China, the virus has spread to at least
214 countries and territories around the world.
·
Several governments and private sector businesses are operating
at a limited capacity or have ceased operations completely due to recent events
surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic
·
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a disturbance
in the supply chain due to the global lockdown in several countries. The spread
of coronavirus caused a fall in demand for chemical intermediates due to
uncertainty in the global economy and capital markets. Therefore, various major
countries observed significant variation in demand for spandex fibers in
end-use industries such as apparel and clothing, medical and health care, and
home furnishing.
