Between 2025 and 2030, the industry is set to generate an incremental USD 1 billion, accounting for nearly 48.2% of the total growth expected through 2035. The second half of the forecast period (2030–2035) contributes USD 1.1 billion, demonstrating the maturing adoption of automated and AI-enabled recycling platforms. With textile waste reaching new global highs—driven by fast fashion, industrial discards, and post-consumer waste streams—recycling machinery plays a critical role in reducing environmental impact and reducing reliance on virgin fibers.
Key Market Forces Shaping Growth
- Rising Regulatory Pressure & Sustainability Mandates
Governments across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America are enforcing tighter commitments to reduce landfill dependency and increase textile recovery rates. As a result, manufacturers are adopting high-efficiency mechanical and chemical recycling systems to meet compliance, reduce waste footprint, and support sustainability reporting. - Technological Advancements in Fiber Recovery
Modern recycling machines now deliver higher fiber purity and longer retention, making recycled fibers increasingly competitive with virgin raw materials. The integration of Industry 4.0 technologies—IoT sensors, real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and AI-based sorting—continues to reduce downtime and increase process accuracy. - Shifting Brand and Consumer Expectations
Major apparel and home textile brands are aggressively pursuing recycled content targets. As consumers demand eco-conscious products, manufacturers are scaling up recycling investments, which directly increases demand for advanced textile waste recycling machines.
Segment-Level Highlights
Mechanical recycling machines remain the dominant segment, expected to command 56.8% market share by 2025. Their scalability, versatility across cotton and blended fabrics, and reduced chemical requirements make them the preferred choice for large industrial applications.
The cotton waste recycling segment, representing 58.3% of 2025 revenue, benefits from advancements in fiber cleaning and sorting that allow recycled cotton to be reintroduced into yarn spinning and fabric production. Reduced water and energy needs compared to virgin cotton make this segment particularly attractive.
Automatic operation systems, projected to capture 61.2% of total revenue, continue to gain traction due to their ability to enhance throughput, lower labor dependency, streamline maintenance, and enable smart manufacturing workflows.
Regional and Country-Level Outlook
China leads the global market with a robust 6.1% CAGR, reflecting rapid textile capacity expansion and strong government support for circular economy initiatives. India follows closely at 5.6%, fueled by sustainable apparel manufacturing and rising environmental consciousness.
Europe maintains steady growth, particularly in France (4.7%) and the United Kingdom (4.3%), where waste reduction mandates and sustainable fashion movements are accelerating recycling machine adoption. Meanwhile, the United States—despite being a mature ecosystem—continues to grow at 3.8%, supported by regulatory compliance and improving recycling infrastructure.
Competitive Landscape
Global leaders such as Andritz, Tomra, Autefa Solutions, and Rieter dominate the market through integrated systems that combine shredding, sorting, refining, and automated analytics. Their ability to provide end-to-end recycling lines positions them as essential partners for high-capacity textile manufacturers.
Emerging players—including Dell’Orco & Villani, Larochr Group, Ecotex Group, and Loptex—focus on energy-efficient systems tailored for mixed-fabric waste. Their commitment to compact, modular equipment supports growing adoption across mid-sized production units and developing markets.
Driven by sustainability investments, circular economy commitments, and the race toward recycled-content targets, machine manufacturers that prioritize automation, process optimization, and digital integration will capture the largest share of upcoming opportunities.
