Global Quilt Market Growth

Quilts are produced using cotton, linen, flannel, silk, and a wide range of other materials by the textile industry for creating warm and comfortable bedding. The industrial analysis suggests that global fibre production surged to 116 million tons in 2022 against 112 million tons in 2021. With robust economic activity, fibre production is expected to rise to 147 million tons by 2030, thereby increasing the quilt market value.

Polyester is the predominant material in the synthetic fibres and accounted for 54% of total production in 2022. The market is also witnessing a growing demand for natural fibres incorporating recycled fabrics, including wool (from 3% in 2021 to 4.3% in 2022) and cotton (25% in 2021 to 27% in 2022). The shift towards sustainability is expected to favourably shape the quilt market dynamics, as consumer awareness regarding textile waste grows. It takes around 2700 litres of water to manufacture 1 meter of fabric. An average Canadian citizen discards 80 lbs of apparel and quilts annually. The global textile industry accounts for 10% of the global GHG emissions and is the fifth largest emitter of greenhouse gases. Hence, consumers are expected to increase the demand for sustainably produced quilts over the forecast period.
