The Sustainable Fabrics Market was valued at USD 17.6 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 27.8 billion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 8.10%. The need to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has led to increased pressure on regions to transition towards low-carbon economies and business models. The textile industry, encompassing the R&D, design and development, production and distribution of fibers, yarns, fabrics and clothing, is a major contributor to global GHG emissions. Sustainable fabrics are the building blocks of the textile industry, and they continuing to attract attention as the main area to reduce the sector’s overall environmental footprint.

The global fashion sector accounts for high levels of GHG emissions, textile waste, ecological degradation and air and water pollution. Sustainable fabrics address environmental concerns and align with rising consumer preference for eco-conscious products. Companies incorporating these fabrics into their finished products are not just meeting regulatory standards but are meeting the market demand for environmentally conscious consumer choices.
