Spandex Fibre Market to Grow with a CAGR of 6.53% through 2030

Growing demand of Spandex Fibre from healthcare and textile industry is expected to drive the Global Spandex Fibre Market in the forecast period 2026-2030F


According to TechSci Research report, “Spandex Fibre Market –Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition, Opportunity and Forecast, 2020-2030F”, the Global Spandex Fibre Market was valued at USD 6.85 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 9.91 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.53%. 

Spandex, also known as elastane or Lycra, is a synthetic fiber widely recognized for its exceptional elasticity and durability. In the automotive industry, the integration of spandex into seating upholstery is enhancing both design and functionality. Spandex-based materials provide superior stretch and recovery properties, allowing seat covers to contour seamlessly to the occupant's body. This results in greater comfort during long journeys and helps maintain the vehicle's interior aesthetics by reducing creasing and wear over time. Beyond seating, spandex is increasingly used in automotive interior trims such as door panels, headliners, and dashboard covers. Its flexibility enables complex designs that were previously difficult to achieve, while also facilitating the integration of technologies like airbags and control systems. Furthermore, spandex fibers offer customization potential in decorative stitching, logo applications, and textured finishes adding a unique and premium touch to vehicle interiors. These attributes not only enhance user experience but also help automakers differentiate their products in a competitive market.

The rising use of spandex in the automotive sector has significantly boosted global demand, encouraging manufacturers to scale up production. Governments worldwide are playing an active role in fostering this growth by supporting research and development (R&D) aimed at improving spandex fibers, particularly in areas like sustainability and performance. Regulatory frameworks promoting eco-friendly manufacturing processes, waste reduction, and ethical sourcing are being introduced to ensure the long-term viability of the industry. Governments are investing in workforce development programs to build a talent pool equipped to drive innovation and support the evolving needs of the spandex fiber industry. Strategic collaborations and partnerships are also fueling market expansion. For instance, The LYCRA Company has partnered with Qore to develop QIRA, a next-generation bio-based spandex fiber designed to support sustainability objectives.

However, the market faces challenges such as volatile raw material prices, supply chain disruptions, and increasing competition from alternative fibers. These factors may moderate growth in the near future, requiring continuous innovation and strategic adaptation by industry players.
