Circulose Pulp For Textiles Market Global Report 2026

The circulose pulp for textiles market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.93 billion in 2025 to $7.56 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing environmental concerns over textile waste accumulation, rising demand for sustainable textile materials, growing adoption of recycled cellulose alternatives in fiber manufacturing, expanding regulatory support for textile waste reduction, and increasing preference for eco-friendly apparel production.

The circulose pulp for textiles market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.52 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing investments in textile recycling infrastructure, rising demand for circular economy-based textile solutions, increasing adoption of textile-to-textile recycling systems, expanding partnerships between fashion brands and recycling companies, and growing demand for low-carbon cellulose fiber production. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of textile waste recycling for sustainable cellulose pulp production, growing demand for recycled fiber feedstock in circular textile manufacturing, rising development of advanced textile separation and purification technologies, expansion of closed-loop textile recycling initiatives across fashion supply chains, and increasing focus on reducing dependency on virgin wood-based cellulose resources.

The increasing generation of textile waste is expected to drive the growth of the Circulose pulp for textiles market in the coming years. Textile waste generation refers to the accumulation of unwanted or discarded textile materials from production processes and consumer use that require reuse, recycling, or disposal. Textile waste generation is increasing due to the rapid growth of fast fashion, which encourages frequent clothing purchases and shorter garment lifespans, resulting in greater volumes of discarded textiles. Circulose pulp for textiles helps address textile waste generation by converting discarded cotton-rich textiles into recycled cellulose pulp, enabling the production of new fibers while reducing the amount of textile waste sent to landfills or incineration. For instance, in March 2025, according to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), a Kenya-based authority for the environment with programs, about 11% of global plastic waste is generated by the clothing and textile industry, while in 2023, only around 8% of textile fibers were produced from recycled materials. Therefore, the increasing generation of textile waste is driving the growth of the Circulose pulp for textiles market.

Major companies operating in the Circulose pulp for textiles market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as textile recycling platforms, to accelerate circularity, improve supply chain transparency, and increase the adoption of recycled textile materials across the fashion industry. Textile recycling platforms refer to integrated systems that facilitate the collection, processing, traceability, and commercialization of recycled textile materials for use in new textile production. For instance, in June 2025, Circulose AB, a Sweden-based textile recycling company, launched CIRCULOSE forward, designed to accelerate the adoption of CIRCULOSE material across fashion supply chains by connecting brands, manufacturers, and supply chain partners. It provides benefits such as improved supply chain collaboration, enhanced material traceability, and streamlined commercialization of recycled pulp. The launch is intended to help customers scale the use of circular textile materials while supporting the fashion industry's sustainability goals and transition toward a circular textile economy.

In June 2025, Circulose AB, a Sweden-based textile recycling company that provides Circulose Pulp, partnered with Mango to integrate CIRCULOSE recycled pulp into Mango’s supply chain. Through this collaboration, the companies aimed to scale textile-to-textile recycling by incorporating recycled cellulose derived from discarded cotton-rich textiles into new garments, reducing dependence on virgin raw materials, minimizing textile waste, and supporting the transition toward a more circular fashion industry. Mango is a Spain-based fashion retailer that designs, manufactures, and markets clothing and accessories for women, men, teens, and children.
