Global Modacrylic Fiber Market is valued at approximately USD 717.7 million in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 3.08% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Modacrylic fiber is a synthetic fiber that is made from acrylonitrile and other chemicals. It is a type of copolymer that has properties similar to those of acrylic and modacrylic fibers. Modacrylic fibers are known for their flame-retardant properties, making them suitable for use in a variety of applications, such as protective clothing for firefighters, military personnel, and industrial workers. Modacrylic fibers are also used in the production of faux fur, carpets, upholstery, and other home furnishings. They are soft, lightweight, and resistant to sunlight, mildew, and chemicals. The market demand is primarily driven by the factors such as the increasing demand for flame-resistant clothing and textiles, the rising safety standards in various industries and the growing demand in the construction industry.

In addition, the increasing crude oil consumption and production along with the growing apparel sector are acting as major driving factors for market growth. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, global liquid fuel consumption increased from an average of 99.4 million barrels per day in 2022 to 100.9 million barrels per day in 2023. In 2022, global liquid fuels production averaged over 100 million barrels per day and it is predicted to increase by 1.6 million barrels per day in both 2023 and 2024. Similarly, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of China, retail sales in the Chinese clothing sector were valued at USD 75.83 billion from January to May 2022. Hence, the growing consumption and production of liquid fuels along with the increasing growth of the apparel industry are propelling the demand for modacrylic fiber in the global market. Furthermore, the increasing incidents of fires and explosions and the rising demand for flame-resistant clothing in the automotive and crude oil extraction industry are presenting lucrative opportunities for market growth over the forthcoming years. However, competition from other flame-resistant fibres is restricting the market growth over the forecast period of 2022-2029.

The key regions considered for the Global Modacrylic Fiber Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. Asia Pacific dominated the market in terms of revenue due to the rising demand for safety apparel such as fire-resistant clothing and the increasing population in the region. Whereas, the Middle East and Africa are also expected to grow at the highest growth rate over the forecasting period. Factors such as growing demand for modacrylic fiber as hair fiber to be used in wigs, increasing demand in various industries such as crude oil and gas, construction and automobile and rising safety standards in various industries are burgeoning the market growth in the forecasting years.
