Denim Fabric Market Outlook - 2030
The global denim fabric market size was valued at $18.1 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $27.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2021 to 2030.
Denim is a durable cotton twill (weave) fabric typically used in the apparel industry for the production of jeans, jackets, shorts, jeggings, and other clothing and accessories. It is a strong fabric made using weft and warp weaving methods, which results in diagonal denim ribbing. Denim fabric gets its durability by twill weave, which helps fabrics to absorb a great amount of friction before it breaks apart. Other fibers such as polyester or spandex, are also added occasionally in small proportions to achieve the required attributes.
Denim fabric manufacturing is often regarded as a continually growing industry in the entire textile value chain of several countries such as China, India, Bangladesh, Brazil, Italy, and others. The industry is growing at a healthy CAGR in most of the global economies, owing to the easy availability of cotton and increased demand for denim wear. Moreover, new manufacturers are entering the global denim fabric market, thereby fueling the competition.
For instance, according to an article published by Textile Value Chain, the total number of denim fabric mills operating in India has reached 46 in 2021 against 30 in 2012, representing an increase of 53.3%. This may result in the availability of denim fabric at affordable prices. This factor is expected to drive the growth of the denim fabric market in the next few years. Furthermore, a huge part of denim fabric consumption is accounted for by unbranded denim manufacturers. This may further provide an additional push to the growth of the denim fabric market.
However, cotton has been and continues to be one of the major raw materials for manufacturing denim fabric. However, cotton prices are in continuous fluctuation owing to poor weather conditions, declining cotton production, the end of Chinese stockpiling, falling of oil prices, and other factors. According to a report published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, cotton production from May 2020 to September 2021 registered a decrease of 5.3 million bales as compared to the previous year for the same period. Furthermore, American cotton makes up around 38% of the world export market while India and China together account for half of the world's cotton production; however, a sizable portion is consumed by the domestic cotton production before exporting the rest. This causes an imbalance in the demand-supply chain of raw cotton that leads to high price fluctuation. Thus, denim fabric primarily being a cotton product gets immediately affected by the rise and fall in the prices of cotton, which in turn is expected to hamper the growth of the denim fabric market during the forecast period.
On the contrary, traditional denim production involves the use of synthetic chemicals in the dyeing process, elastane for stretch, polyester trims, and other hardware such as rivets and metal buttons. These types of denim when getting old are sent into the landfill for degradation. According to a report published by the Water and Resource Action Program, the UK sends around 350,000 tons of clothing to landfills each year.
Thus, the huge accumulation of denim products comprises various synthetic chemicals that pose a threat to both environment and mankind. To reduce the accumulation of synthetic chemicals and dyes through traditional denim, several mills have developed sustainable alternatives to reflect customers' growing demand for sustainability. All these factors are expected to offer future growth opportunities to the global denim fabric market.
