Air-Jet Loom Market Global Report 2026

The air-jet loom market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.33 billion in 2025 to $2.52 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for high-speed textile production, rising woven fabric consumption, growing textile manufacturing capacity, increasing demand for consistent fabric quality, and expanding adoption of shuttleless weaving equipment.

The air-jet loom market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.37 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for wider fabric production, rising preference for automated weaving machinery, growing demand for flexible textile production, increasing replacement of conventional looms, and expanding textile manufacturing capacity. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-speed air-jet looms, rising demand for wider weaving-width air-jet looms, growing preference for automatic air-jet looms, increasing demand for multi-color weaving capabilities, and expanding use of low-maintenance air-jet weaving equipment.

The increasing adoption of automation and smart manufacturing is expected to propel the growth of the air-jet loom market in the coming years. Automation and smart manufacturing refer to the integration of advanced technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence, the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and data-driven control systems to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility of manufacturing processes. The adoption of automation and smart manufacturing is increasing due to the growing need for higher production efficiency, as manufacturers seek to reduce operational costs while improving product quality and consistency. This adoption of automation and smart manufacturing encourages the deployment of advanced air-jet looms by enabling faster, more precise, and digitally connected weaving operations that improve production performance. For instance, in January 2025, according to the Manufacturing Leadership Council (MLC), a US-based member-driven business leadership network, in 2025, the share of manufacturers reporting mid-level smart-factory maturity rose to 75%, up from 42% in 2024, while 44% anticipated increased investments in smart-factory and production technologies. Therefore, the increasing adoption of automation and smart manufacturing is driving the growth of the air-jet loom market.

Major companies operating in the air-jet loom market are focusing on developing energy-efficient air-jet weaving solutions, such as advanced air-jet weaving machines with optimized pneumatic and weft-insertion systems, to reduce air consumption and improve weaving performance. Advanced air-jet weaving machines with optimized pneumatic and weft-insertion systems refer to air-jet looms that use improved compressed-air systems and enhanced mechanisms to efficiently insert weft yarn across the warp, reducing air consumption while maintaining high-speed weaving and fabric quality. For instance, in September 2025, Itema Group, an Italy-based textile machinery manufacturer, launched the Galileo-AX air-jet weaving machine at ITMA Asia + CITME 2025 in Singapore. The new machine combines energy-efficient weaving technology with competitive costs and optimized pneumatic and weft-insertion systems, supporting lower air consumption, improved weaving performance, and more efficient textile manufacturing.

In January 2026, Haijia Machinery, a China-based textile machinery manufacturer, partnered with Shandong Weiqiao Group through the deployment of 720 Air-Jet Looms. Through this partnership, Haijia Machinery aims to expand the adoption of its Air-Jet Loom technology by supporting Weiqiao Group’s weaving operations with high-speed, energy-efficient machinery, thereby improving production efficiency and increasing weaving capacity. Shandong Weiqiao Group is a China-based textile manufacturer engaged in cotton spinning, weaving, dyeing, and related textile production.
