The global polyester staple fiber market size reached USD 25.0 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 37.2 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.27% during 2025-2033.
Polyester staple fiber (PSF) is made via polymerization of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and mono ethylene glycol (MEG) or recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle flakes. It is lightweight, resistant to light and available in a wide range of colors with different cut lengths. As it can withstand extreme climatic conditions and has remarkable resilience, PSF is widely used for spinning yarns, which are then knitted or weaved into non-woven fabrics. It is also utilized as a poly fiberfill in premium pillows, cushions, quilts, sofa, soft toys, jackets, and mattresses across the globe.
Significant growth in the real estate sector is positively influencing the need for luxury furniture. This represents one of the major factors propelling the market growth. It is further supported by the thriving construction industry wherein PSF is used in concrete to fill up cracks and enhance the overall quality of walls, tanks, tiles, blocks, and maintenance hole covers. Apart from this, inflating disposable incomes and the escalating demand for sustainable and fast fashion are promoting the utilization of PSF in the textile industry. PSF is also used for making speaker felts, geotextiles, and wadding and as a filler for sound absorption. Moreover, it is employed in the manufacturing of high-quality and economical automotive textiles for roofs, airbags, trunk liners, carpet backing, glove boxes, door panels, safety belts, and sound insulation. The increasing production of light commercial vehicles is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities to market players.
