Acrylic Fiber Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Form Type (Staple Fiber and Filament Fiber), By Application (Apparel, Household Furnishing, Industrial and Other) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Acrylic fibers are the synthetic fibers synthesized from polymers, mostly polyacronitrile with an average molecular weight of 1000000 units which is almost 1900 monomer units. They are resistant to UV degradation, microbial outbreak, bleaching agents, and weak alkalis. Acrylic fiber offers high stability, elasticity, and low specific mass and therefore are broadly used in manufacturing apparels.

Increasing demand for apparels from fashion industry is driving the market growth. Exceptional properties like washability, UV resistance, microbial attack-resistance, availability in multiple colors, and resistance to shrinkage is driving the demand for acrylic fiber.

However, there are various other fiber materials present in market such as polyester fibers. Availability of such alternatives is expected to hinder the market growth.
