Textile Mills in the US industry analysis

The Textile Mills industry has faced significant challenges amid fluctuating economic conditions. Navigating reduced consumer purchasing power and ongoing supply chain disruptions has complicated operations. The automobile sector's drop, propelled by a shortage of computer chips, has notably decreased demand for technical textiles. Coupled with diminished discretionary income, spending on vehicles and new clothing has diminished. This downturn in demand has intersected with increased raw material costs and labor shortages, putting pressure on profitability and production capacities across the industry. Revenue has dropped at a CAGR of 1.3% over the past five years to reach an estimated $42.6 billion in 2025, when income is projected to drop by 1.6%.

Trends and Insights

  • Tariffs raise economic uncertainty and inflation risks. The Trump administration's introduction of tariffs significantly impacts the textile industry, which is reliant on international trade. Mexico and Canada's retaliatory actions exacerbate the situation, complicating the broader economic landscape.
  • Nonwoven fabrics play a crucial role in textile revenue. Their versatility and cost-effectiveness allow them to meet the growing demands across sectors like healthcare and automotive, especially as sustainability and hygiene trends continue to rise.
  • Manufacturers position near international ports to minimize shipping costs. Being close to these ports allows them to efficiently meet domestic and foreign demand, reducing transportation expenditures.
  • Competition among manufacturers relies on price, quality and style. These variables are key in determining the industry's top manufacturers as they influence consumer choice and brand popularity.

Industry Statistics and Trends

Market size and recent performance (2015-2030)

Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 1.3 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $42.6bn in 2025.

Trends and Insights

Tariffs expected to increase costs and economic uncertainty

  • The Trump administration's introduction of tariffs significantly influences the US textile mills industry, which largely relies on international trade. A 25.0% tariff is proposed on Canadian and Mexican goods and a 10.0% tariff on Chinese imports is already in place. These measures extend the trade tensions that began in 2018 between the US and China and add pressure on the textile sector. The temporary pause on Canadian and Mexican tariffs by 30 days as of February 3, 2025, does little to alleviate the uncertainty for companies involved in cross-border trade.

Trends and Insights

Fast fashion's demand will drive changes in textile mills and production strategies

  • The fast fashion industry, known for its rapidly changing styles, will continue to demand quick production cycles and large quantities of low-cost textiles. Textile mills will face intense competition from overseas producers in China, India and Bangladesh. However, mills that develop flexible, small-batch production capabilities and quick turnarounds will carve out opportunities in niche markets that value speed and customization over sheer volume.
