Results Of The 37th ITMF Global Textile Industry Survey

ZÜRICH, Switzerland — April 7, 2026 — The International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF) released findings from its 37th Global Textile Industry Survey (GTIS), conducted in March sharing how regions and segments are impacted by the latest geopolitical disruptions.

Source: 8th-37th ITMF Global Textile Industry Survey (37th: 10-19.03.2026) – last data point = March 2026

The 37th GTIS shows a deteriorating global business climate, with the global business situation balance falling to -25 percentage points as the US/Israel-Iran war disrupted energy markets.

Africa was the only region posting a positive business situation and North & Central America recorded the steepest decline, while garment producers fared best among segments with textile machinery manufacturers remaining deeply negative.

The global business expectations balance collapsed from over +23pp to +5pp – the lowest since November 2022 – as stagflation risks comparable to the post-Ukraine invasion shock of 2022 are reviving.

South America led regional optimism while South-East Asia was the most pessimistic. Brands & retailers were the most upbeat segment against a deeply negative outlook for weavers/knitters.

Geopolitics overtakes weak demand as the industry’s top concern

For the first time, geopolitics topped industry concerns at 50%, edging out weak demand at 49%, driven by the war in Iran and surging energy prices, higher raw material costs, and logistics disruptions from the Strait of Hormuz blockade. Notably, tariffs dropped sharply as a concern from 31% to 13%. In response, firms intensify efforts towards market diversification away from the US and internal cost absorption, while relocation of productions and other capital-intensive strategies remain low.

Hyosung TNC Presents New regen™ BIO Spandex Developments At Functional Fabric Fair

SEOUL, South Korea — April 1, 2026 — Fashion has long relied on fossil-based materials to deliver the performance consumers expect. Changing that requires more than intention, it requires infrastructure.

Hyosung TNC is building that infrastructure. As the world’s largest spandex manufacturer by market share, the company has committed $1 billion to establishing the first fully integrated bio-based production system of its kind: from sugarcane to Hyosung TNC’s Bio-BDO, Bio-PTMG, and ultimately Bio Spandex, all within a single, connected value chain.

Sugarcane marks a new chapter in bio-based material innovation. As the industry pushes further into renewable feedstocks, sugarcane represents where that journey is heading, a crop with established large-scale agricultural systems and strong carbon reduction potential. Hyosung TNC’s sugarcane feedstock is verified through the VIVE platform.

For brands, this translates to something rare in sustainable sourcing, a bio-based spandex that performs without compromise. Hyosung Bio Spandex delivers the same durability, stretch, and recovery demanded by activewear, sportswear, and compression applications while supporting meaningful reductions in carbon footprint.

“At a moment when the industry is moving from commitments to action, Hyosung TNC offers something beyond a material; a scalable system designed to make bio-based the new baseline, not the exception,” said Sora Yoo, Vice President Marketng, Hyosung TNC. “We are excited to share how our regen™ Bio Spandex can be the solution to active and bodywear brands’ transition, powered by sugarcane at Functional Fabric Fair this April 7-9.”

CREORA® functional textiles – Designed for trends shaping tomorrow

Continuously innovating, Hyosung TNC strives to develop textile solutions for brands before they even know they need them. It anticipates what consumers will expect from their performance apparel that include multi-functional characteristics to keep wearers cool, fresh and comfortable with style.

At the show, Hyosung TNC will highlight the following CREORA® functional fibers: CREORA® Conadu Polyester, offering the soft, natural feel of cotton combined with comfortable stretch, CREORA® Coolwave Nylon that delivers continuous cooling and moisture control to help maintain long lasting freshness in active and everyday applications, and CREORA® EasyFlex Spandex, which offers a soft stretch that moves with you. It allows for size inclusivity where one size can fit various body types with lower power, and better retention rate for shape stability. A dyeable version is also available, ensuring superior color consistency and reduced grin-through.

DAY 0 and Expert Talks – experts share the latest developments sustainable innovation for a better future

Hyosung TNC is proud to be the sponsor the FFF DAY 0 Sustainability Workshop taking place April 7, 2026. Sustainability practitioners will present a pragmatic approach to foundational topics as well as some of the latest updates and developments. Manufacturers will present real-world case studies related to the topics throughout the day. Attendees will participate in round table conversations and interactive activities and will leave with new knowledge to use immediately starting on Day 1 of the Fair.

On Thursday, April 9 at 11:20 AM – 12:05 PM, Malvina Hoxha, Hyosung TNC US Marketing Director and Thomas Chiu, Research & Design Director, Chia Her will host an expert talk titled, Next Generation Bio-Based Spandex – Scaling regen™ Bio Spandex Through Fiber & Fabric Engineering. As bio-based spandex enters commercial production, mills must ensure it matches conventional spandex in performance, dye compatibility, and processing. The hosts will discuss the transition of Hyosung TNC regen™ BIO Spandex feedstock from corn to sugarcane, the scaling of its new BIO-BDO production, and the mill-level requirements needed for industry-wide adoption.

At FFF, Hyosung TNC can be found at booth 538.

EDANA: 2025 Nonwoven Production In Greater Europe: European Nonwovens Industry Remains Strong Amid Challenging Market Conditions

BRUSSELS, Belgium— April 7, 2026 — EDANA, the international association serving the nonwovens and related industries, released today the European annual statistics for 2025, offering a comprehensive picture of the nonwovens industry in Greater Europe. This information shows an overview of the industry’s strength and resilience across the region.

According to the figures collected and compiled by EDANA, overall nonwovens production in Europe declined by around 2.2% in 2025, reaching 2,919,000 tonnes.

Jacques Prigneaux, EDANA’s Market Analysis and Economic Affairs Director, stated: “Despite the negative impact of several drivers affecting the nonwovens industry, the slowdown in demand across some key market segments, and an increasing competition from abroad, the European nonwovens industry has once again demonstrated its strength, resilience, flexibility and ability to innovate.”

Diverging trends were observed across European countries and among the various nonwovens production processes. Total spunmelt output decreased by 3.3%, while drylaid technologies production remained nearly stable at -0.7%. Limited growths were recorded in hydroentanglement and needle-punched bonding processes, at +0.1% and +0.8%, respectively.

The hygiene market—still the main end-use for nonwovens by volume—declined by 2.7% in 2025, following growth of 1.7% in 2024. This decrease was mainly driven by developments in the baby diaper market.

Significant changes in tonnage for nonwovens in 2025 were also seen in sales of roll goods for personal care wipes (+0.9%), building and roofing (-6.8%), automotive interiors (-0.9%), and upholstery (-7.1%). However, these figures do not take into account specific grammage developments, which are available to EDANA members through surface area data.

Prigneaux added: “We would like to thank participating companies for their continued efforts in providing data year after year. This direct input from producers, combined with a comprehensive monitoring of the industry, results in a valuable business tool for our member companies throughout the supply chain.”

As part of one of its most valued membership benefits, all EDANA members will receive a complimentary copy of the report 2025 Nonwovens Market Insights.

“More detailed figures by production process and market segment will be disclosed during INDEX™ 26, in Geneva. Exhibitors and visitors are invited to attend the Market Trends Seminar, which will take place at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 19 May”, Prigneaux announced.
