The rise in demand from developing countries is notably driving the acrylic fibers market growth, although factors such as volatility in raw material prices may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the acrylic fibers market industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Acrylic Fibers Market Driver
The rising demand for acrylic fibers from developing countries is one of the key drivers for the market in focus. The acrylic fibers market in developing countries, mainly China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, and Mexico, is witnessing significant growth. Many vendors of acrylic fibers are shifting their manufacturing activities to developing countries. Raw material and land availability, low transportation cost, cheap labor, and less stringent regulations are expected to augment market growth in developing countries. The emergence of China and India as manufacturing hubs for textiles, construction, and automobile industries in APAC is also expected to drive the demand for acrylic fibers. The use of acrylic fibers as industrial fibers for various applications, such as construction and automobiles, is expected to drive the global acrylic fibers market. In the construction industry, acrylic fibers are used as reinforcement materials for producing concrete. The rapid growth in urbanization necessitated the demand for building new establishments post lockdown in the last half of 2020. The increase in residential construction activities in APAC is expected to boost market growth during the forecast period.
Key Acrylic Fibers Market Trend
Growth in demand from niche applications is one of the key trends for the market in focus. Homopolymer acrylic fiber is produced from a single polymer. Homopolymer acrylic fibers provide high strength, chemical and abrasion resistance, and thermal stability to the final products in comparison with co-polymer acrylic fibers. The growing use of homopolymer acrylic fibers to produce dust filter bags is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. Good permeability, large porosity, and anti-chemical property are some of the major features of filter bags. Dust filter bags are used in various industrial applications, such as cement mills, coal-operated power generation plants, and waste incineration plants.Acrylic fibers are also used in the production of car batteries and brake lining in the automotive industry. The better durability and fire-retardant properties of acrylic fibers make them suitable for these applications. The increase in the demand for passengers and commercial vehicles in APAC is expected to drive market growth. An increase in the use of acrylic fibers in other niche applications such as power generation and the automotive industry is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Key Acrylic Fibers Market Challenge
Volatility in raw material prices is a key challenge for the market in focus. Acrylonitrile is the main raw material used in the production of acrylic fibers. The increase in the prices of acrylonitrile is expected to hinder the growth of the global acrylic fibers market. The increased turnarounds and production bottlenecks have contributed to the tight supply of acrylonitrile. The oil and gas industry is a major supplier of propylene to the producers of acrylonitrile. The fluctuations in crude oil prices will negatively affect the prices of petroleum fraction products, impacting the production cost of acrylonitrile. Thus, the heavy dependency of the global acrylic fibers market on acrylonitrile is expected to hinder the market growth.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
The rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in countries across the region resulted in the unavailability of workforce and imbalance in the supply of raw materials, which led to the closure of several manufacturing units, including those that develop acrylic fibers. This resulted in a decrease in the production volume of acrylic fibers during the first few months of 2020 in the region. Furthermore, the demand for new acrylic fibers from end-users such as apparel, home textile, and automotive industries was limited. All these factors hampered the growth of the market in APAC in 2020. However, the rise in the construction of residential establishments across the region, the increasing demand for high-quality acrylic fibers from the apparel industry and for home furnishings, and the expected rise in the disposable income of people in several countries are major factors that are expected to boost the growth of the acrylic fibers market in the region during the forecast period.
