The study involved two major activities in estimating the current size of the polyester fiber market. Exhaustive secondary research was carried out to collect information on the market, peer markets, and the parent market. The next step was to validate the findings obtained from secondary sources, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both the top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the total market size. After that, the market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
Secondary sources referred to for this research study include financial statements of companies offering polyester fiber and information from various trade, business, and professional associations. Secondary research has been used to obtain critical information about the industry’s value chain, the total pool of key players, market classification, and segmentation according to industry trends to the bottom-most level and regional markets. The secondary data was collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall size of the polyester fiber market, which was validated by primary respondents.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research was conducted after obtaining information regarding the polyester fiber market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from both the demand and supply sides across major countries of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, such as Chief X Officers (CXOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), Directors from business development, marketing, product development/innovation teams, and related key executives from polyester fiber industry vendors; system integrators; component providers; distributors; and key opinion leaders. Primary interviews were conducted to gather insights such as market statistics, data on revenue collected from the products and services, market breakdowns, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped in understanding the various trends related to technology, application, vertical, and region. Stakeholders from the demand side, such as CIOs, CTOs, CSOs, and installation teams of the customer/end users who are using the polyester fiber industry, were interviewed to understand the buyer’s perspective on the suppliers, products, component providers, and their current usage of polyester fiber and future outlook of their business which will affect the overall market.

Market Definition
Polyester fiber, also known as a synthetic textile material derived from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) or other polyester polymers, is renowned for its exceptional versatility, strength, and long-lasting attributes. This fiber is produced via a multi-step process that includes melting spinning, drawing, and polymerization. The ultimate product is the creation of long, continuous fiber strands. These fibers, which are customized to meet precise specifications regarding length, denier (thickness), and other attributes, are widely used in a variety of textile-related applications. These applications include non-woven materials, household textiles, industrial textiles, and apparel. Polyester fiber is much-liked because it is affordable, low maintenance, wrinkle-resistant, and retains color well. Notably, there has been a noticeable trend in favor of sustainability in recent years, and recycled polyester, or rPET, has become more popular as a way to address the environmental issues related to the production of conventional polyester.
