Global Silicone Textile Softener Market

Cotton Acquired a Significant Share in the Global Silicone Textile Softener Market

Cotton is one of the widely used fabrics in the textile industry for manufacturing clothes for several purposes. The high availability of cotton globally leads to the burgeoning demand for cotton clothes among consumers due to their features, like hypoallergenic, eco-friendly, comfortable, and low maintenance. The demand for cotton in the textile industry of countries like Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Turkey, and China is soaring at an exponential pace since these countries are the global textile hubs and home to the contract manufacturing units of international clothing multinational companies.

According to Sewport, approximately 75% of clothing products contain cotton. Most T-shirts are made using at least some amount of cotton. Hence, to maintain the crease & softness of cotton, silicone textile softeners have become a necessity. Furthermore, the rising use of cotton for household products, such as bathrobes, bathmats, and towels, along with the surging demand for cotton for manufacturing medical supplies like industrial threads & tarps, has been further driving the Global Silicone Textile Softener Market.

Asia-Pacific to Sustain as a Major Market for Silicone Textile Softeners through 2027

Of all regions worldwide, Asia-Pacific held the largest share in the Silicone Textile Softener Market during 2017-21. It owes to the significant growth of the textile industry in the region that has been supported by the bulk production of raw materials, such as cotton, wool, silk, etc., in countries like India & China.

  • According to the International Sericultural Commission, silk production in India rose to around 33,780 metric tons in 2021 from 31,900 metric tons in 2017. Moreover, the textile industry of Bangladesh is expanding due to relatively low-cost manufacturing and the easy availability of raw materials. The country is emerging as a hotspot for manufacturing readymade garments, which, in 2021, formed around 85% of the country's total exports.  

Besides, increasing government investments in new textile units, rapid urbanization, and surging disposable income of consumers are other crucial factors anticipated to fuel the regional market growth in the coming years. Furthermore, the presence of key industry players, such as H&M, Nike, Zara, etc., coupled with the new-age fashion trends & styles has significantly impacted the Asia-Pacific's textile industry, and, consequently, on the silicone textile softener market, reveals MarkNtel Advisors in their research report, "Global Silicone Textile Softener Market Analysis, 2022."
