The global home textiles sector is becoming one of the most profitable segments in the textiles industry and a strategic cluster for Portugal.
The consumption of home textiles across the globe has witnessed consistent growth driven by factors like rising consumer spending on home renovation and fashion sensitivity towards household furnishing.
Portuguese manufacturers offer a wide range of textile products for household appliances such as bedspreads, furnishing fabrics, curtains, rugs, carpets, placemats, cushion covers, table covers, linen, kitchen accessories, made-ups, bath linen, and other home furnishing accessories.
Portugal has one of the strongest textile industries in Europe and is known for its craftsmanship and expertise in high-quality apparel and home textiles.
Experiencing steady growth over the past years, the Portuguese home decor & textile industry expects to grow at an even faster pace. Innovative products, stunning designs, collaboration with world-renowned designers, and a deep commitment to the highest quality. The Portuguese brands create innovative products and unique designs with the highest quality, using decades-old socially and ecologically responsible processes.
The sustainability journey is a long marathon, not a sprint, and evolutionary change should always begin with actionable steps toward reducing a brand’s environmental impact.
The Portuguese home textiles brands have already started a significant positive shift, meeting the global needs of a growing base of eco-conscious consumers. The goal is to empower new markets, consumers, and business opportunities encouraging their commitment toward sustainable materials and products. Whether driving circularity or using materials with a lower environmental impact, the push for greater sustainability is evident in the home textiles and apparel sector.
The home textile industry is expected to face new challenges. Portuguese brands are increasing the product portfolio and investments in R&D to propel the global market growth of home textiles.
More and more, innovations like wood curtains for UV protection, fabrics that transmit vitamins for the body, sustainable materials, and products drive the growth of the home textile market.
It’s all about the reshaping of product development in the Portuguese textile industry—the principle: more natural and sustainable materials to drive outstanding designs instead of the former traditional production process where the materials are a consequence of the design.
Portuguese industry is already a world reference in developing new eco-fibers and products, shaping the future of sustainable homes.
Eco-friendly fabrics are not only environmentally conscious – they can also be significantly cheaper than their synthetic counterparts. The most common eco-fiber materials are hemp, linen, cotton, jute, kenaf, and bamboo.
The goal is to learn from nature, rediscover natural resources, apply them in a modern context, and get inspired to find sustainable and regenerative solutions for product development to enrich the industry.
