Bamboo, organic cotton, and recycled fibers are gaining popularity due to growing environmental awareness. Consumers are opting for towels that are not only soft and absorbent but also kind to the planet. For instance, in April 2021, Swaas launched bamboo bath towels to their home essentials category to meet the rising need for sustainable products. The durable and absorbent bamboo bath towels and recyclable and biodegradable bamboo cutlery are unique products for the retail segment while being eco-friendly and sustainable.
Towels with features that promote faster drying are in high demand, especially for athletes and travelers. Towels with quick drying and anti-microbial properties are gaining popularity now. For instance, in June 2021, OURA, known for infusing high-tech solutions into everyday products, launched its wellness promoting antimicrobial lifestyle product the Alta Towel. The Alta towel is engineered with CottonX, a proprietary fiber and textile technology, that helps eliminate bacteria, mold, and musty aromas by self-sterilizing and killing bacteria on contact with the compliments of copper-infused fibers.
