Fibre2Fashion, also known as a knowledge disseminator to the textile, apparel & fashion industry, submitted a short research report on ‘Global Fibre Market – The Consumption Scenario’ at the recently concluded 61st Dornbirn Global Fiber Congress in Austria. The report was set forth among 400 participants at the event, where Fibre2Fashion was one of the media sponsors.

The Dornbirn Global Fiber Congress (GFC) is the world’s most unique innovation congress acting as a ‘Global Network Generator’ in the whole textile supply chain. The latest edition, held at the Kulturhaus in Dornbirn, was attended by representatives from about 200 companies from Europe, Asia and America.

“Consumer demand for textiles have been growing consistently in line with growth of the global population and is expected to follow the same trend in the future as well. Increasing consumer demand resulted in average growth of 2.2 per cent in the consumption of textile fibres across the world between 2017 and 2021, preliminary driven by growing consumption in Asia-Pacific region, where consumption grew by 2.5 per cent during the same period,” the report on ‘Global Fibre Market’ said.

“Key factors driving the global growth were increasing per capita consumption of textiles materials, growing consumption of technical textiles and rebounding consumer confidence owing to better economic prospects and projections in the post pandemic years,” the report added.
