Natural fibres contribute to the Australia textile market growth due to their raw material characteristics, such as breathability, which allows air circulation in the fabric and ensures the wearer remains cool and comfortable

Natural fibres like cotton, linen, wool, and bamboo offer breathability, comfort, biodegradability, and renewability. They provide moisture absorption, temperature control, non-toxicity, and aesthetic appeal for sustainable, healthy, and stylish clothing. This coincides with the launch of a new Australian facility focusing on research in innovation and sustainability.

In August 2023, Australia inaugurated a new research hub to pioneer textile innovations and promote sustainable fibre manufacturing. The ARC Research Hub for Functional and Sustainable Fibres, led by Deakin University, focuses on sustainability, circular economies, and innovative functionality.

Synthetic fibres, such as polyester and nylon, provide durability and affordability, as well as easy maintenance and versatility. They are widely available, offer hypoallergenic options, and boast excellent colour retention, making them perfect for varied, cost-efficient, and colourful textile uses.
