According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Automated Textile Sorting Equipment market size was valued at US$ 875 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1683 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 9.8% during review period.
Automated Textile Sorting Equipment is an intelligent recycling system that uses artificial intelligence, machine vision, and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to identify and separate textile materials based on fiber composition, color, and quality. It is mainly used in textile recycling plants, second-hand clothing sorting centers, and circular economy waste processing facilities. The system integrates conveyor platforms, optical sensors, AI classification algorithms, and automated mechanical separation units to improve sorting efficiency and recycling accuracy. Main product types include conveyor-based optical sorting systems, NIR fiber identification systems, robotic sorting units, and fully automated textile recycling lines. This category excludes manual sorting systems, general municipal waste sorting equipment, and non-AI-based conveyor sorting systems.The industrial chain of Automated Textile Sorting Equipment includes upstream suppliers of machine vision cameras, NIR sensors, AI chips, industrial robots, conveyors, pneumatic systems, and control software. Midstream manufacturers integrate AI recognition models, fiber classification algorithms, robotic sorting mechanisms, and automation platforms into complete textile sorting solutions. Downstream applications include textile recycling companies, second-hand clothing processing centers, waste management firms, and circular economy infrastructure projects. Supporting services include AI model training, fiber recognition calibration, system maintenance, sorting optimization, and software upgrades.In 2025, global Automated Textile Sorting Equipment production reached approximately 1,417 units, with an average global market price of around US$600,000 per system. The gross profit margin of major companies in the industry is between 25%–42%. In 2025, the global production capacity of automated textile sorting equipment was approximately 2,024 units.
The Automated Textile Sorting Equipment market is emerging as an important segment within the broader waste recycling and circular economy industry. Growth is driven by increasing volumes of textile waste, stricter environmental regulations, and rising demand for efficient material recovery systems in Europe, China, and North America. These systems leverage artificial intelligence, machine vision, and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to identify and separate textile fibers by composition, color, and quality, significantly improving sorting accuracy and recycling efficiency compared with manual or semi-automated processes. Adoption is expanding in textile recycling facilities, second-hand clothing processing centers, and municipal waste management systems. However, the market remains in an early development stage, with relatively low automation penetration and high dependence on regional recycling infrastructure. High initial investment costs, variability in waste composition, and lack of standardized sorting processes remain key challenges. Despite these limitations, regulatory pressure on textile waste reduction and growing circular economy initiatives are expected to drive steady growth in the long term.
