Modacrylic fiber is also known as modified acrylic fiber and synthetic acrylic fiber that exhibits less than 85%, but at least 35% of the weight of acrylonitrile monomer fiber. It possesses various functionalities, such as it is a soft material, resilient, has strong tenacity, resistant to heat, chemicals, corrosion, and sunlight, and retentive in shapes. Owing to such properties, it has a wide range of applications in various end use industries. Furthermore, it can withstand high temperatures that make them suitable for thermal insulation and heat stabilization applications in various end-use industries, such as automotive, industrial applications, protective clothing in the medical sector, mining, extraction, petrochemicals sectors, and others. They are widely used in the household applications, apparel industry, and in the growing hair care products sector as hair fiber wigs, hair extensions, and others.
Rapid infrastructure development and growing consumer demand for the automotive sector has led to rise in modacrylic fiber production in both, developed and developing economies, such as the U.S., China, and India where modacrylic fiber material are widely used for thermal insulation purposes as they are highly flame, chemical, sunlight, and corrosion-resistant. It is used as automotive carpets, seat belts, printing process application, and others. In addition, the growing modern theme-based building & construction sector has surged the demand for modacrylic fiber-containing products, such as cushioning in furniture, fur-like carpets, rugs, mattresses, blankets, curtains, and others, which are being used widely in household applications. These factors are responsible for the growth of the modacrylic fiber market.
Acrylonitrile monomer is a vital constituent of modacrylic fiber; however, government norms and regulation regarding the use, production, and recyclability of acrylonitrile monomer have hampered the growth of modacrylic fiber market. In addition to this, lack of awareness among people, growing competition in the apparel sector, and rise in prices of raw materials has impacted negatively on the growth of the market. These factors are responsible for the downfall of the modacrylic fiber market growth.
On the contrary, the recyclability of modacrylic fiber reduces the overall raw materials costs by 10-15%, making customers more linear towards purchasing recycled modacrylic fiber material for thermal insulation purposes in various end-use sectors. It is a key factor that is anticipated to offer new opportunities in the global modacrylic fiber market.
