The home textile segment, according to Knitting News, is experiencing positive dynamism, due to the increased attraction to knitted blankets, cushion covers, and lightweight throws. Exporters claim that the demand has been strong especially in North America where the retailers are augmenting their decor assortments. Manufacturers are reacting to this by coming up with textured knits and soft touch fabric which can fit both the premium and the middle markets. The analysts foresee that the segment will continue to grow steadily in the next five years (2026) because the consumer expenditure on home improvement will continue to be brisk.
