Domestic synthetic fibre output has declined at a modest annual rate, reaching roughly CAD 360 million in 2023, with projections showing continued mild contraction through 2028Despite this overall downturn, demand for spandex blends remains steady in premium apparel and medical textiles.One of the primary drivers in Canada is the robust and growing athleisure and activewear market, anchored by Canadian brands such as Lululemon and RYU Apparel. These companies increasingly specify stretch elastic fabrics for leggings, yoga wear, performance tops and shapewear, stimulating interest in spandex yarn integrationAdditionally, expanding health and medical applications—compression garments, surgical hosiery, athletic support wear—are fueling consistent demand due to spandex’s elasticity and comfort properties
