As the global population expands, demand for apparel is inclining significantly, which is paving the way for increased sewing machines adoption. Prolific expansion is anticipated across the Asian market, with China and India emerging at the forefront.
According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), during FY19, production of fiber in India amounted to 1.4 million tons (MT) and reached 1.6 MT in FY20, while for yarn, production stood at 4.7 billion kilograms in the same time period. The textiles industry has witnessed a spurt in investment since the past five years, broadening prospects for sewing machine sales.
Similarly, China’s textile industry’s investments in fixed assets expanded by 5% in 2018, with investments focused on technology and innovation, resulting in increased productivity. This is providing a bright opportunity for sewing machine manufacturers to increase inroads in the East Asian giant.
Patented innovations for mastering free motion stitching are helping manufacturers gain recognition in the sewing machine market. For instance, Bernina International AG is gaining recognition for reinvesting a large share of its cash flow into product development of the Bernina Stitch Regulator (BSR).
Free motion stitching eliminates hassles associated with maintaining a consistent stitch length. Free motion techniques help end-users to keep the stitch length even and consistent, as the fabric is guided without the assistance of the feed dogs. Companies in the sewing machine market are increasing their R&D in stitch regulator technologies to help beginners master free motion techniques.

Sewing machines have witnessed revolutionary changes over the years- from manual operation by pedal to automated & computerised sewing machines that saves time and energy. For instance, modern industrial machines can seam over 5000 stitches within a minute. Latest technology can monitor and handle garment processes with enhanced accuracy.
The textile industry is an important recipient of modern sewing technology- including deployment of a single sewing machine capable of producing all sorts of fabrics, thereby offering enormous flexibility. Solutions such as the Kansai Special RX-9803 Series Cylinder Bed Flat Lock Machine for Bottom Hemming and Vetron from Xi’an Typical are experiencing widespread deployment.
More recently, there is renewed interest about ABCs in pattern sewing, moving head sewing and automated workstations, with Juki’s AVP-875A for automatic pocket setter for jeans equipped with an auto-bobbin changer being an example. Proven success of data transfer across sewing machine and use of stand-up module with higher machine to operator ratio has necessitated the justification of ABC to maximize needle running time.
The U.S will likely generate credible expansion opportunities for sewing machines, amid its rising position in the global apparel industry. Total output of the textile industry amounted to nearly US$ 19 Bn in 2019, as per the Bureau of Economic Analysis 2020.
Furthermore, the value of U.S manmade fiber, textile and apparel shipments totalled an estimated US$ 64.4 billion in 2020, according to Textile World. Capital expenditure in the textile industry has remained strong, with investments in yarn, fabric, apparel and sewn products reaching US$ 2.38 billion.
Hence, numerous manufacturers have increased their presence in the region. Prominent ones include Ovasco Industries, Numerical Concepts Inc., McCain Bindery Systems and Juki America among others. Fact.MR expects the sewing machine market in the U.S to capture nearly 2/5th of global market demand.
China accounted for nearly 43% share and is slated to dominate the market over the forecast period, backed by hefty investments from government into textile industry is likely to expand the revenue collection in upcoming years.
China is poised to generate high opportunities as it is the world’s largest producer and exporter of textiles. As of 2017, its exports amounted to US$ 295 Bn, accounting for 45.2% of global clothing exports.
In 2018, China’s chemical fiber production exceeded 50 million tons, making up over 2/3rd of global production. The aforementioned trends have generated fertile ground for enhanced industrial sewing machine sales in recent years. Key manufacturers include Hikari (Shanghai) Precise Machinery Science & Technology Co., Shanghai Bioazhun Hailing Sewing Machinery Co. Ltd. and Zhejiang Gemsy Mechanical & Electrical Co. Ltd.
By product, industrial sewing machines are expected to yield almost 40% of global revenue, according to Fact.MR. Unwavering government support across key textile manufacturing hubs, particularly across Asia, are raising demand for technologically advanced industrial sewing machines.
Amongst all types, flatbed industrial sewing machines are anticipated to outshine others. Simultaneously, domestic sewing machine demand is also expected to remain high, with high-end sewing machines also gaining prominence.
Computerized sewing machines are becoming increasingly popular amid rising digitization of industrial processes. These machines help attain greater precision in sewing by deploying smart Wi-Fi enabled sewing technology. Fact.MR expects the segment to capture 45% of total market revenue.
With advances in technology computerized sewing machines are offering cutting-edge competition in the market by offering faster workflows in the industrial sector. Sewing machines are extensively used to stitch together fabrics and textiles and create unique products.
