High manufacturing costs associated with synthetic fabrics are a key restraint for the market. The production of synthetic fabrics requires specialized equipment and processes, which can be expensive to set up and maintain. This cost factor can limit the adoption of synthetic fabrics, especially among smaller manufacturers and businesses.
Concerns about the sustainability and environmental impact of synthetic fabrics are also posing a challenge for the market. Despite advancements in eco-friendly production methods, synthetic fabrics are still derived from petrochemicals and can contribute to pollution and waste. Increased awareness about these issues among consumers and regulatory bodies can hinder the growth of the synthetic fabric market.
