The polyester filament yarn market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $58.33 billion in 2024 to $62.46 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing demand for durable textiles, higher consumption of polyester in apparel, growing urbanization, rising awareness of environmental impact, and greater adoption of polyester filament yarn in automotive applications.
The polyester filament yarn market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $80.88 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing demand for sustainable textiles, a rising consumer preference for eco-friendly products, a growing focus on recycling polyester, higher demand for lightweight fabrics in the automotive industry, and the expansion of the textile industry in emerging markets. Key trends during this period include technological advancements in production, innovations in polyester filament manufacturing, increased investment in research and development, the development of advanced recycling techniques, and ongoing improvements in fabric quality.
Rising Demand from Textiles and Apparel Boosts Market Growth Driven by Consumer Preference for High-Quality, Durable Fabrics.
The growing demand from the textiles and apparel industry is expected to accelerate the growth of the polyester filament yarn market. This broad sector encompasses the production, design, and distribution of fabrics, clothing, and accessories used for personal, commercial, or industrial purposes. The increased demand is fueled by consumers' rising preference for high-quality, durable, and innovative fabrics, as they seek long-lasting, comfortable, stylish clothing with enhanced performance and sustainability. Polyester filament yarn is widely used in textiles and apparel due to its durability, versatility, and ability to improve fabric strength and performance, making it a crucial component in the production of high-quality, long-lasting garments. For example, in June 2024, the International Trade Administration, a US-based government agency, reported that imports of textiles and apparel for the year-to-date period ending in April 2024 reached 30.09 billion square meter equivalents (MSME), a 9.5% increase from the same period in 2023. As a result, the increasing demand from textiles and apparel is contributing significantly to the growth of the polyester filament yarn market.
Leading companies in the polyester filament yarn market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as recycled yarn, to promote sustainability, reduce environmental impact, and meet growing consumer demand for eco-friendly textile solutions. Recycled yarn is created from reclaimed fibers, usually sourced from post-consumer waste (like used garments) or post-industrial waste (such as leftover fabric scraps), which are spun into new fibers to lessen environmental harm and encourage sustainability. For instance, in August 2024, Repreve, a US-based textile manufacturer, launched a new filament yarn and insulation material made from 100% recycled materials, including at least 50% textile waste. Repreve’s filament yarn, which can be dyed using standard processes, meets virgin-quality standards while significantly reducing its environmental footprint. Similarly, the company’s new insulation material, thermal loop, is lightweight, fast-drying, machine washable, and versatile, offering an eco-friendly alternative for various industries.
In March 2023, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), a major Indian player in petrochemicals and polyester products, acquired the polyester business of Shubhalakshmi Polyesters Limited and Shubhlaxmi Polytex Limited for approximately $199 million (₹1,592 crore). This acquisition aims to strengthen RIL’s position in the polyester sector by increasing production capacity and expanding its product range. Shubhalakshmi Polyesters Limited is an Indian company specializing in the production of polyester filament yarn and chips for various uses, while Shubhlaxmi Polytex Limited focuses on polyester and textile manufacturing, particularly polyester filament yarn production.

Polyester filament yarn is a continuous strand of polyester fibers created by spinning molten polyester into long, fine threads, which are then wound onto spools for a variety of uses. Known for its strength, durability, and resistance to shrinkage and stretching, polyester filament yarn is ideal for making products such as clothing, upholstery, and woven fabrics.
The primary types of polyester filament yarn include partially oriented yarn (POY), fully drawn yarn (FDY), and drawn textured yarn (DTY). POY is a polyester yarn that is partially stretched during production and is typically used as a base for creating textured yarns such as DTY. It is commonly found in apparel and industrial fabrics. The yarns are available in different fiber diameters, including fine denier, medium denier, and heavy denier. Texture types can be textured, flat, or twisted. Certifications for polyester filament yarn include recycled polyester filament yarn, Oeko-Tex certified, and Global Recycled Standard (GRS). These yarns are used in various applications, including apparel, industrial fabrics, and household textiles.
