Textile Recycling Market worth $11.88 billion by 2030, at 7.2%, says MarketsandMarkets™

Delray Beach, FL , June 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In terms of value, the Textile Recycling Market size is expected to reach USD 11.88 billion in 2030 from USD 8.41 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2026 to 2030, as per the recent study by MarketsandMarkets™. The demand for textile recycling is increasing due to environmental, economic, and regulatory factors. As global textile use and fast fashion expand quickly, large quantities of textile waste are produced, most of which end up in landfills or incinerators. This has led to serious concerns about pollution, resource depletion, and climate change. Consumers are becoming more eco-conscious, encouraging brands to adopt circular business models and include recycled materials. Meanwhile, governments worldwide are enacting stricter regulations, such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and landfill bans, prompting manufacturers to manage waste more responsibly. Mechanical and chemical recycling advances are also making it more practical and scalable to process complex fiber blends. Additionally, recycled textiles offer long-term cost savings and support ESG goals, making them popular for industries aiming to boost sustainability efforts. This growing awareness is fuelling rapid growth in the sector.
