Market Synopsis

According to the MRFR analysis, the global zipper market size is projected to reach USD 25,142.34 million by 2030 at a CAGR of 7.76%.

The term "zipper" describes a tool used to unzip and close sections of clothing and bags. A zipper is made up of two rows of metal, plastic, or other material teeth that are intended to interlock and link the material to which they are attached. A slider is positioned on these rows. The slider, which is often manipulated by hand, has a Y-shaped channel that, depending on how the slider is moved, moves along the rows of teeth to connect or separate them. The teeth, which are often referred to as elements, may be formed from a continuous coil or from distinct individual teeth. The word zipper is onomatopoetic because it was called after the sound made by the gadget when it is employed, a high-pitched zip. This tool is used as a fastening element to tie the edges of a material that has been opened or another flexible material, such as a bag. It is useful for tying and securing bags, clothing, and even baggage. The key factors driving the growth of the global zipper market are the booming textile industry, coupled with the wide usage of zippers in it, the increasing demand for zippers in the bag industry, coupled with the growing innovations by key players. However, the high cost of raw materials is expected to restrict the market's growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, strategic mergers & acquisitions by the key players are anticipated to create growth opportunities for the market.

COVID-19 Impact on Zipper Market

The manufacture of zippers begins with acquiring raw materials such as metal, nylon, plastic, brass, and many more. Some of these basic ingredients are created by distributors and suppliers. Since the world remained under lockdown and urgent steps were taken to stop the coronavirus's spread, such as physical separation and transit restrictions, obtaining raw materials was challenging. The availability of labor is another important consideration, and there is a general labor shortage in the manufacture of the zipper. It takes labor to gather the raw materials, transform them into finished goods, package them, and deliver them to customers. One of the main problems that every country has experienced during the pandemic is the relocation of workers to their hometowns due to a lack of employment opportunities. However, as things are normal, the key players are adopting strategies to recover various countries' economies amidst the pandemic. For instance, in May 2020, to strengthen the local supply chain and assist US manufacturers in producing goods necessary to combat the COVID-19 pandemic YKK USA increased the range of items it offers. Webbing, snaps, buttons, hooks, and loops are among the other products that YKK, best known for its zippers, provides that can be utilized in COVID-19 relief applications.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an enormous effect on the availability of raw materials. The production faced new difficulties. Manufacturers of goods and safety suppliers of essential raw materials were evaluated to determine if their business practices complied with regulations related to being essential to the pandemic response. Furthermore, owing to the lack of raw materials, supply chain disruptions across various countries are still negatively impacting the zipper market. For example, in September 2021, the American Apparel and Footwear Association (AAFA) stated that supply chains are seeing unprecedented disruptions owing to the factory closures linked to covid-19, "legendary price gouging" from carriers, and freight lines, and huge backlogs at the ports.
