China Recycled Polyester Filament Yarn Market Global Outlook and Forecast 2024-2030

In Business Insights
June 13, 2025

The China Recycled Polyester Filament Yarn market was valued at US$ 3.85 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0% to reach US$ 6.12 billion by 2030. This robust expansion reflects China’s leadership in sustainable textile production, supported by stringent environmental policies and advanced recycling infrastructure.

Recycled Polyester Filament Yarn has become a cornerstone of China’s circular economy strategy, transforming post-consumer PET bottles into high-performance textile fibers. Major brands now prioritize this material for its eco-credentials without compromising fiber strength or dyeability. Recent breakthroughs in catalytic depolymerization have improved yield rates to 92%, while new solid-state polymerization techniques enhance intrinsic viscosity control.

Market Overview & Regional Dynamics

China dominates global recycled polyester production with 65% market share, concentrated in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Fujian provinces. The eastern industrial corridor benefits from integrated supply chains connecting recycling facilities to textile mills. Domestic consumption accounts for 70% of output, driven by sportswear brands and home furnishing manufacturers adopting sustainable materials.

Export markets show divergent trends – European buyers demand GRS-certified yarns for circular fashion, while Southeast Asian textile processors prioritize cost-competitive options. The industry faces logistical hurdles in raw material collection, with urban recycling rates varying from 85% in Shanghai to 40% in western provinces.

Growth Drivers and Emerging Opportunities

Three seismic shifts are accelerating market growth: 1) Mandatory recycled content requirements in textile exports (EU: 30% by 2030), 2) Breakthroughs in colored bottle sorting enabling solution-dyed yarn production, and 3) Automotive OEMs replacing virgin polyester in seat fabrics. The technical textiles segment shows particular promise, with recycled yarn penetration in geo-textiles growing at 18% annually.

Innovation opportunities exist in molecular recycling technologies that can process blended fabrics, and in blockchain-enabled traceability systems. The rise of China’s domestic luxury brands has created unexpected demand for premium recycled fibers in high-end fashion applications.

Industry Challenges

Despite progress, the sector grapples with persistent issues: feedstock contamination lowers yields by 15-20%, while inconsistent quality in post-industrial waste streams creates processing bottlenecks. Margin pressures intensified in 2023 as virgin polyester prices declined 22%, narrowing the sustainability premium. Trade barriers are emerging, with Turkey imposing 8% anti-dumping duties on Chinese recycled yarn imports.

Regulatory complexity presents another hurdle – while China’s Dual Carbon policy incentivizes recycling, local environmental regulations on wastewater treatment from recycling facilities vary significantly across provinces.
