Market Alert: Navigating the New Landscape in Acrylic Fiber and Seizing Global Opportunities

For Immediate Release

Wuxi, China – The global acrylic fiber market is navigating a period of significant transformation, presenting both challenges and opportunities for international buyers. As a leading supplier, Wuxi Xilan New Material Technology Co., Ltd. is at the forefront of helping clients adapt to these changes and secure a stable, high-quality supply chain.

In a recent development that underscores the dynamic nature of international trade, India, a key market, imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on acrylic fiber imports from China, Peru, and Thailand in August 2025 . This decision impacts the cost structure for exports to India, with duties on Chinese acrylic fiber ranging from $34 to $216 per ton .

However, it is crucial for buyers to note that several high-value, specialty acrylic fibers are exempt from these duties . This includes:

• Acid dyeable acrylic fiber
• Anti-bacterial acrylic fiber
• High-shrinkage acrylic fiber
• Fiber compliant with recycled GRS standards
• Solution dyed or pigment dyed acrylic fiber 

This regulatory environment makes it more important than ever to partner with a supplier capable of providing a diverse product portfolio and navigating complex trade rules.

Despite regional challenges, the global outlook for acrylic fiber remains stable. Market research indicates the global market is expected to grow, reaching a projected value of $47.32 billion by 2031 . This growth is fueled by consistent demand from traditional applications and emerging opportunities in other regions.

Key application areas continue to drive demand:

• Apparel: Sweaters, socks, and sportswear that leverage the wool-like softness and warmth of acrylic fiber .
• Home Textiles: A major area for carpets, furniture fabrics, and blankets due to the fiber's durability and colorfastness .
• Stuffed Toys: Specific grades of acrylic fiber are prized for their resilience and elasticity, making them an ideal filling material.

In this complex landscape, Wuxi Xilan New Material Technology Co., Ltd. offers reliable solutions for global buyers.

"We understand that current market dynamics and recent trade policies can create uncertainty for our international partners," says a company spokesperson. "Our strategy is built on helping clients overcome these hurdles through product diversification and a deep understanding of compliance."

The company's core strengths include:

• Diverse Product Range: Supplying various types of acrylic fiber, including specialty and duty-exempt grades, to meet different application needs and regulatory requirements.
• Supply Chain Resilience: Ensuring consistent and reliable delivery to global customers.
• Focus on Quality: Maintaining high standards for products like 2Dx38mm flat semi-dull acrylic fiber for toy stuffing and other specialized specifications.

For buyers in Europe, the Americas, and other emerging markets, the current situation highlights the importance of a flexible and strategic supplier relationship. By partnering with Wuxi Xilan, businesses can mitigate risks, explore new product categories, and capitalize on the stable growth in the global acrylic fiber market.
