Global Knitted Fabric Market to Grow at 4.4% During 2023-2028, Propelled by Rising Demand for Comfortable and Adaptable Fabrics

According to the latest report by IMARC Group titled “Knitted Fabric Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028”, the global knitted fabric market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% during 2023-2028. Knitted fabric refers to a textile that is formed by interlocking loops of yarn in a methodical and consecutive pattern. It contrasts with woven fabrics by presenting unique characteristics such as superior elasticity and flexibility. The two primary types of knitting include weft-knitting, where the yarn runs horizontally, creating loops in the same direction, and warp-knitting, where the yarn runs vertically, producing parallel rows of loops. Weft-knitted fabrics are typically more stretchable, while warp-knitted ones are more rigid and stable. The inherent characteristics of knitted fabric include its remarkable ability to stretch in various directions without losing its original shape. This elasticity makes it an ideal material for clothing that needs to adapt to the wearer's movements. Furthermore, its porous structure offers excellent breathability, allowing for moisture management and maintaining comfort in various weather conditions. Its insulating properties contribute to the warmth and coziness of garments made from it, particularly in winter clothing. Knitted fabrics can be designed with intricate textures and patterns, from fine and delicate to chunky and bold, using different types of yarn and knitting techniques. Advanced knitting technology and innovative fiber blending have expanded its applications to include not just apparel but also automotive interiors, medical textiles, and home furnishings. Additionally, it supports sustainable practices, with possibilities for recycling and the use of eco-friendly fibers. Its lightweight nature, combined with its resilience to creasing, adds to its desirability in fashion and functionality.
