Spandex Fiber Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the spandex fiber industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Spandex Fiber Market Driver
The increasing usage in the automotive industry is one of the key drivers supporting the spandex fiber market growth. The spandex fiber is increasingly used as a substitute for natural and synthetic rubber in industrial applications and is superior to rubber in terms of quality, lightness, suppleness, and adaptability. Furthermore, the growing demand for spandex fibers in the automotive and transportation industries for items such as automobile door panels, car seat covers, and vehicle wraps is propelling the market growth. Moreover, various in-vehicle safety measures, as well as rising government rules pushing the use of seat belts and airbags, are also expected to propel the spandex fiber market growth during the forecast period.
Key Spandex Fiber Market Trends
The growing use of spandex fiber in swimming and sports clothing is one of the key spandex fiber market trends contributing to the market growth. With the increasing population and changing lifestyles, sports gear has been gaining popularity in emerging markets of sportswear. Nowadays, people are becoming more conscious regarding their health, which is increasing their involvement in sporting activities, which will enhance the demand for comfortable sportswear. Furthermore, various government efforts for youth engagement in sports, such as the National Sports Talent Contest Scheme in India and the National Youth Sports Strategy in the US, are fueling the demand for spandex fiber in sportswear such as jackets and gloves. Hence the market in focus is expected to grow during the forecast period.
Key Spandex Fiber Market Challenge
Spandex fiber can trigger skin allergies is one of the factors hampering the spandex fiber market growth. Wearing spandex on a regular basis can make one more susceptible to skin allergies because it does not absorb sweat and moisture is retained, allowing allergens to penetrate deeper into the skin. When a person sweats while wearing spandex, chemicals from the dyes and formaldehyde used on the fabric may be released into the skin, causing allergies. For instance, spandex underwear does not allow the skin to breathe, which can make a person more susceptible to yeast infections. Candida albicans fungus, which causes vaginal yeast infections, reproduces very quickly since the fiber cannot absorb moisture or sweat. Hence, these infections can hinder the growth of the spandex fiber market in focus during the forecast period.
This spandex fiber market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
