Many types of research show that the textile industry is the most polluting
industry in the world. Almost 2000 different chemicals are used in this
industry. A mere chemical processing in this industry constitutes 70 percent of
the overall pollution. Hence, Nowadays the importance of sustainable fabric is
recognized by both consumers and manufacturers.
Growing awareness regarding the
harmful effects of synthetic fabrics on the environment is majorly driving the
growth of the sustainable fabrics market. The global textile industry is one of
the major contributors to global environmental pollution. According to the
International Union for the Conservation of Nature, fibers from synthetic
fabrics constitute an estimated 35% of microplastic that enters the ocean.
Furthermore, synthetic fiber manufacturing plants disrupt freshwater systems.
Streams and rivers act as the primary recipients of industrial effluents. This
transports pollutants to groundwater and marine ecosystems. Moreover, according
to the Pulse of the Fashion report 2018, to produce a polyester T-shirt, 262
percent more CO2 is emitted than a cotton shirt. In addition, synthetic fabrics
also have a negative impact on human health. Most of the synthetic fabrics are
made of polyester, which is plastic and a by-product of petroleum. Polyester is
closely associated with hormonal disruption and the formation of breast cancer
cells. The factory workers also face these health risks. The process of converting
petroleum into polyester is a long, and toxic process. The workers, work in
terrible conditions, face debilitating health issues due to exposure to toxic
substances. Furthermore, increasing demand for natural and organic fabrics from
the fashion industry is augmenting the growth of the sustainable fabrics
market. However, the high price of sustainable fabrics is anticipated to hamper
the market growth. Moreover, growing initiatives to promote organic and
sustainable products are expected to boost the market over the forecast period.

owing to the evolving lifestyle and strong demand for fashion apparel in this
region. Moreover, the European sustainable fabrics market is expected to grow
