Growth Factors in the Modal Fiber Industry:
Growth in Fashion and Apparel Sector
The fashion and clothing industries have also begun using modal fiber as unit raw material for the production of sustainable clothing which has driven the growth of global modal fiber market as well. Modal fiber is also used in luxury fashion. The fabric is soft and smooth with a luxurious sheen. The absorbent construction makes it anti-shrink, anti-fade and long lasting. Luxury apparel brands and textile manufacturers are preferring modal fiber, owing to its luxurious feel, smooth texture and drape. This is expected to be a factor driving growth in the modal market during the forecast period.
Rising Adoption in Athleisure
Modal fiber is being used more and more in athleisure as it is both moisture-wicking, quick-drying, heat resistant, and chemically resistant. The athleisure market is growing with the increasing number of people involved in athletics and recreation. Modal fiber offers improved comfort and shape retention in active apparel, and its moisture absorbing properties elevate it to a strong candidate in the activewear/sportswear sector. This is particularly appealing for the health consumer who wants their exercise or leisure clothing to have the comfort of everyday fabric combined with the performance of advanced textiles.
Increasing Environmental Consciousness
A modal market is likely given consumers are becoming more aware of the environment and are prepared to pay more for eco-friendly clothing. Modal fiber is a semi-synthetic cellulose fiber made from beech trees. Compared to other synthetic fibers, modal fiber is more environmentally friendly to produce, as it requires less water, energy, and other materials in its manufacturing. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the ecological impact of their purchases, and developing a preference for renewable and biodegradable textiles materials.
Key Trends in the Modal Fiber Market
Impact of Work-From-Home Model
With working from home becoming more common (especially with the COVID-19 pandemic), the demand for modal fiber-based loungewear that is more comfortable and durable is growing. Consumers in the post-COVID-19 pandemic market may pay for clothing that is more comfortable to wear at home, and also more presentable for any meetings that may be held at home or via video call. Modal fiber has a soft feel and moisture-wicking properties, which make it suitable for use in clothing made for loungewear and casualwear throughout the day.
Emergence of Micro Modal Fiber
Micro modal fiber is estimated to be the fastest growing segment in the global modal fiber market during the forecast period, owing to its superior moisture control, stretchable nature, and low shrinkage properties. Micro modal is expected to be the next generation modal fiber. It has thinner filament diameters than standard modal, and produces an ultra-soft fabric with good drapeability. Micro modal would also be of interest to manufacturers of higher-end intimate apparel, high-end bedding or any line where comfort and softness are a priority.
Increasing Demand from Automotive and Aerospace Industries
The demand for high performance, light-weight materials from the automotive and aerospace sectors for seat covers, door panels, headlining, and other interior components is expected to be a key driver for the growth of the modal fiber market. Modal has a high strength, durability and versatility in automotive interior components. This resistance to fading, as well as its more stable dimensional properties, allows automotive and aerospace components to be made with it and continue to function.
