Spandex is a synthetic fiber that is used to produce stretchable clothing. It is made of a long chain polymer called polyurethane, which is made by reacting polyester with a diisocyanate. Spandex was first produced in the early 1950s as a replacement for rubber. Spandex is superior to rubber, as they are stronger, lighter, and more versatile. It is a rubber-like product, which can be stretched to a certain degree and recoils when released. Spandex fibers can be stretched to almost 500% of their length.

Spandex is used in diverse clothing types. As it is lightweight and does not limit movement, it is regularly used in athletic wear. This includes swimsuits, bicycle pants, and exercise wear. Spandex is also used as undergarments. Hence, it is used in waistbands, bras, and briefs. Additionally, it is used in the medical and healthcare sectors in diapers, compression stockings & hoses, and bandages.

The global spandex market is growing with the increasing demand for athletic wear and compression garments. Features, such as superior elasticity, the regaining of the original shape, durability, lightweight, and resistance to UV light are boosting the demand for spandex. Additionally, an increase in the use of spandex in the automobile and healthcare sectors is fueling the demand for spandex.
