CIRCULAR LOOMS MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global circular looms market size was USD 0.23 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 0.33 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

Circular looms are primarily used in the production of bags and hoses. Shuttles used in these looms move in a circular motion simultaneously. They lay weft threads within a section of the wrap thread in order to form a shed. They are also used for circular knitting. Sometimes they are installed within high-speed machines for producing modern garments.

COVID 19 IMPACT

"Decline in The Revenue of Textile Industry Impacted Market Growth"

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a decline in the revenue of the textile industry which negatively affected the market. However, post-pandemic, the unique, salient features of these looms, high efficiency, and low maintenance cost will be the major factors driving the product demand. Technologically advanced looms providing high level performance are highly sought-after worldwide.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with circular looms market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the entire world and all major industries. The looms industry also experienced severe disruption the pandemic. During COVID-19, restrictions such as lockdowns and travel restrictions led to declining textile demand and sales all across the world.

Besides these factors, the textile industry faced many other problems, such as the non-availability of workers and laborers, increased prices of the raw materials, transportation problems, non-availability of skilled workers, cash flow, and reduced working capital, and reduced exports and imports. All of these factors negatively impacted the textile industry.

Since, circular loom forms an integral part of the textile industry the circular looms market was also impacted. The decrease in the number of looms, reduced workers, and the dip in the demand for textiles impacted the market during COVID-19.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Unique Features of Circular Looms to Propel the Market Growth"

These looms have certain unique features which act as one of the major driving factors for the circular looms market growth. Excellent weaving quality, lower maintenance, lower energy consumption, lower wastage, and higher operating efficiencies are some of the prime features and characteristics driving the adoption of these looms.

Advanced loom technologies such as automatic looms are becoming a key emerging trend in the market. These products incorporate methods such as rapier and gripper and give greater productivity in the multiple color weft insertion.

"Low Maintenance and High Efficiency to Propel Market Growth "

The looms are characterized with high effectiveness, efficiency, and low maintenance. This feature is leading to heavy adoption in various applications, increasing the circular looms market share. Along with this, the equipment has many other desirable qualities such as providing improved fabric quality with the benefit of high refund and low investment.

The improved shedding system in these looms are built to reduce the maintenance cost of the spares. The conventional shedding systems are now replaced by the nylon belt with the help of hook heald wire. Magnetic cloth winders are also used to generate higher cloth winding capacity. Owing to these factors, circular looms are projected to witness robust adoption during the forecast period.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"Increasing Yarn Prices and Non-Availability of Skilled Workers to Affect the Market Growth"

Skilled workers and raw materials such as yarn form an integral part of the loom industry. However, the yarn prices are increasing day by day, negatively impacting the loom market. Along with the increasing price of yarn and other raw materials the manufacturers are also burdened with the heavy taxes. The cost of power and electricity is also skyrocketing, becoming a hindrance for the market growth.

Non-availability of skilled workers is still a problem, even after the COVID-19 pandemic. Without laborers it is extremely difficult to run the circular loom market. Skilled workers are not easily available these days and sometimes charge higher wages, which could impact the industry dynamics to some extent.
