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 USD 3.85 billion in 2024, demonstrating robust growth fueled by sustainability initiatives across the textile industry. According to our latest analysis, the market is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0% through 2030, reaching USD 6.12 billion. This growth trajectory reflects China’s pivotal role in sustainable textile production and circular economy adoption.

Recycled polyester filament yarn (RPFY) represents a transformative innovation in textile manufacturing, converting post-consumer PET bottles and industrial waste into high-performance fibers. With 4.2 million metric tons produced in 2023, China has emerged as the global heavyweight in RPFY production, supplying both domestic textile mills and international fashion brands seeking sustainable alternatives to virgin polyester.

Market Overview & Regional Dynamics

China’s dominance in the RPFY market stems from its vertically integrated textile ecosystem and progressive environmental policies. The country’s ‘Zero Waste’ initiative has propelled PET bottle recycling rates to 92% in industrialized regions, creating a steady feedstock for yarn producers. While 70% of production serves domestic textile manufacturers, exports to Europe and North America grew 18% year-over-year in 2023, driven by brand sustainability commitments.

Regional production clusters show specialization trends – Zhejiang province leads in high-tenacity yarns for technical textiles, while Jiangsu dominates apparel-grade fiber production. Guangdong’s manufacturers focus on innovative blends incorporating recycled cotton and bamboo fibers, reflecting evolving consumer preferences for multi-material sustainable textiles.

Key Growth Drivers & Emerging Opportunities

The market’s acceleration is driven by three powerful forces: stringent environmental regulations, brand sustainability pledges, and technological advancements in recycling processes. China’s 14th Five-Year Plan specifically targets a 30% reduction in textile industry carbon emissions by 2025, making RPFY adoption strategically imperative.

Innovation opportunities abound in specialized applications. The automotive sector’s demand for recycled textiles in vehicle interiors is growing at 12% annually, while technical textiles for filtration and geotextiles represent an emerging high-value segment. Digital passport technologies enabling fiber traceability are creating new premium product categories for eco-conscious consumers.

Market evolution is further propelled by breakthroughs in chemical recycling technologies that can process blended fabrics, potentially unlocking 40% more textile waste for recycling. Pilot projects incorporating blockchain for supply chain transparency are gaining traction among global apparel brands sourcing from China.

Challenges & Industry Bottlenecks

Despite strong growth, the sector faces significant hurdles. Quality consistency remains challenging due to variations in feedstock, with color consistency being a particular pain point demanding advanced sorting technologies. The industry also grapples with energy-intensive mechanical recycling processes, though emerging chemical recycling methods promise substantial efficiency gains.

Upstream bottlenecks in PET bottle collection during winter months create feedstock volatility, while downstream, many textile mills still lack the specialized equipment needed to process recycled fibers efficiently. International trade barriers, particularly evolving EU regulations on recycled content verification, pose compliance challenges for exporters.
