Low Melting Fiber Market Size To Reach USD 2.95 Billion By 2030

The global low melting fiber market size was exhibited at USD 1.99 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach around USD 2.95 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of around 6.76% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030.

Introduction

Low Melting Fiber or LMF is a bi-component type that possesses lesser melting points compared with regular polyester fiber on its outer part i.e., sheath whereas maintaining its central part i.e., its coreas regular polyester. The outer part melts and executes a role as an agent for thermal bonding. Low-melt fiber is an ecological fiber that can be used as an alternative chemical adhesive. LMF has varied applications such as automotive materials (including engine hoods, trunks, ceiling material, and others) bedding & furniture (such as mattresses and sofas), as well as hygiene products (including diapers and sanitary pads). Low-melt fibers make use of sheath-core fibers for melting at high temperatures and bond with other fibers to offer outstanding matrix stability and handling features. Low melt fibers also augment cushioning product excellence and are well-suited to the environment.

Growth Factors

Budding demand for low melting fiber from numerous applications areas including mattresses, padding, and bedding is expected to flourish the growth of the market in years to come. Yet, a few severe environmental guidelines associated with the non-biodegradability of this low-melt fiber might impede the growth of the market. The growing consumer interest in home furnishings substantially drives the growth of low-melt fibers across the world. This industry needs fibers for the production of blankets, mattresses, upholstery, soft home furnishings, wall coverings, carpets, and analogous other products. The expansion in the real estate sector is further driving the upsurge in home furnishings. The greater occurrence of retail stores offering home furnishing is added vital cause that will bolster the growth of the low-melt fiber market in years to come.

LMF product is eco-friendly and follows low temperatures. It also possesses outstanding bonding, improved mixing characteristics, and high resilience. The growing requirement for specialty mattresses on account of the surge in consumers’ inclination for environment-friendly products is expected to provide novel growth avenues to the market during the impending years.

There is an augmented need for mattresses that gives admirable comfort and sound sleep. Low melt fiber has excellent bonding and resilience properties and also averts bed bug infestations. These factors are expected to boost mattress application growth during the forecast period. Rising needs from the automotive sector will drive the need for the car molding segment in the prediction period. Car molding accounted for a substantial stake in the whole low-melting fiber market.
