The industrial sewing machines market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.64 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation in textile manufacturing, demand for customized apparel, growth of automotive upholstery, investment in smart factories, labor productivity improvement. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for high speed sewing machines, increasing adoption of computer controlled sewing systems, expansion of automated garment production lines, rising use of specialized sewing machines, focus on consistent stitching quality.

The increasing demand for apparel products is expected to drive the growth of the industrial sewing machines market in the coming years. Apparel products include clothing items and accessories such as shirts, pants, dresses, outerwear, hats, belts, and scarves. This rising demand is driven by changing fashion trends, higher disposable incomes, the convenience of online shopping, global market expansion, and a growing focus on personalized and sustainable fashion. Industrial sewing machines are employed in apparel manufacturing to produce high-quality, durable garments efficiently through fast and precise stitching. For example, in May 2024, the Australia Institute reported that Australia surpassed the United States as the largest per capita consumer of textiles worldwide, with Australians purchasing an average of 56 new clothing items annually, compared to 53 in the US, 33 in the UK, and 30 in China. Consequently, the increasing demand for apparel products is propelling the industrial sewing machines market forward.

The industrial sewing machine market is witnessing a trend toward the development of innovative products, such as next-generation artificial intelligence (AI)-powered overlock machines, to enhance precision, speed, and fabric handling. These AI-powered overlock machines utilize advanced artificial intelligence to improve stitching accuracy, automate adjustments, and optimize fabric handling for superior efficiency and quality. For instance, in June 2024, a China-based industrial sewing machine company introduced URUS for the sewing industry, featuring an AI full-speed feeding system and a super brain with a million-level pressure-to-feed ratio model library. This allows the machine to handle various fabrics with precision while maintaining high speeds. Its presser foot transformer and smart rhino feeding technologies enable rapid adjustments to fabric thickness and accurate power distribution, improving performance and overcoming challenges commonly faced by traditional overlock machines.

In November 2025, a Germany-based industrial machinery company acquired the automotive division of Konrad Busche GmbH & Co. KG to expand its industrial sewing business. This acquisition aims to enhance manufacturing and automation capabilities in the textile sector by integrating advanced industrial sewing machine technologies to boost production efficiency, precision, and scalability. Konrad Busche GmbH & Co. KG specializes in industrial sewing machines for textile and apparel manufacturing.
