Textile Raw Material Market in Canada was valued at US$99.5 million in 2016 and the market declined to US$87.6 million in 2020. Textile raw
materials are unique components that are found in an unprocessed state and are
used as a primary input in textile production. The selection of these materials
depend upon the type of textile being manufactured and based on that these
materials are divided into fabrics, yarns, chemical dyes, and fibers which are
both natural and man-made. The textile industry in a developed country like
Canada is heavily capital intensive, uses natural, artificial, man-made
filaments and fibers, and supplies a wide range and varieties of textile items.
The distinctive
fashion cultures in Canada center around its largest fashion hubs in Toronto,
Montreal, and Vancouver and
the country is home to much successful apparel design
and manufacturing companies. Over the past couple of years, the textile
manufacturers in Canada have shifted towards manufacturing niche premium items
consisting of qualitative apparel and clothing items. Hence, the demand for
such textiles in Canada has steadily increased on account of evolving fashion
trends and the increase in purchasing power of consumers, which has resulted in
an increase in domestic sales as well as exports of Canadian clothing, textile,
and footwear. Another report by Statistics Canada stated, that in 2019, the
apparels domestic market in Canada increased by 16.37% compared to 2016. The
growing consumption rate of Canadian clothing apparel, footwear, etc. in the domestic
and international market will increase the demand for such items, thereby
leading to more usage of textile raw material in their manufacturing. Hence,
this will have a positive impact on the growth of the textile raw material
market in Canada
Canada is the
second-largest trading partner with the US for the import and export of
textiles and apparel. The implementation of the United States-Mexico-Canada
Agreement has revamped the investments and production capacity of the textile
sector in Canada leading to healthy exports of Canadian-made apparel, clothing
items in North American countries. For instance, Canada exported 40 million
cotton or man-made fiber apparel to the US from July 1 to December 30 2020 and
the agreement is expected to increase the production capacity of domestic
textile manufacturers. Moreover, other free trade agreement like EU-Canada Free
Trade Agreement has increased Canada’s imports of qualitative apparel from
countries like Italy. Like, In 2019, EU members together accounted for 6% of Canada’s apparel imports
showing an increase from 4% in 2010, with major high-end luxury apparel made in
Italy. The
dressing style of Americans is elective and lavish and European Unions are one
of the major importers of clothing and apparels items from Canada. Hence the
signing of such an agreement will lead to an increase in textile trade and
economic integration of Canada with major textile markets in the US and EU. This
will create more demand for qualitative apparel and clothing items of Canada in
the US and EU textile market, resulting in an increase in textile raw material
usage by Canadian apparel manufacturing companies, thereby having a positive
impact on the growth of the textile raw material market in Canada.
The textile
and apparel sector in Canada has well established itself in niches such as performance outerwear,
women’s fashion apparel, and accessories, men tailored fine suits, uniforms,
and protective apparel. Hence shift towards such growing trends, has increased
consumers' demand towards high-end luxury apparel which has
made some of the popular apparels brands expand their market in Canada. For instance, popular
apparel brands like Winners, Marshalls, The Rack accounted for up to 34.1% of
2018 apparel sales in Canada with Winners having 271 stores showing an increase
in its share from 6.6% in 2015 to 7.7% in 2018. Moreover, the increasing
fashion trends have led to an increase in shipments and exports of hand customized
and innovative designed Canadian apparel and clothing items. For instance, as
per data issued by the Government of Canada, the shipment of Canadian apparel
increased by 26.5% in 2019 compared to 2017. Hence such an increase in demand and
consumption of high-end luxury Canadian apparel both in the domestic apparel
market and in international markets will create more demand for such high brand
items. This will provide more growth opportunities to the textile raw material
market in Canada.
