Polyester Filament Yarn (PFY) is a highly versatile synthetic fiber that can be used for making a wide range of textile products. It offers high strength, elasticity, and abrasion resistance. It is commonly used to make apparels, technical fabrics, and home furnishings. It is also used for industrial applications like ropes, conveyor belts, and safety belts.

Polyester filament yarn is made by winding single, short, long or grouped polyester fibers into a group and twisting them to form a multifilament polymer yarn. This process is known as filament spinning.

In the spinning process, a polyester filament is spun at a much higher speed than cotton or wool yarns to create a stronger and more pliable fabric. This increases the fiber's molecular orientation, allowing it to be more elastic and durable.

After the filaments are formed, they are twisted or air-entangled to make the yarn workable and a variety of other processes are used to modify the characteristics of the yarn. These processes include drawing, crimping, texturizing, and spinning in different directions.

The most common types of polyester filament yarn are monofilament and multifilament. The difference between them is that monofilament yarns have one long, continuous fiber while multifilament yarns contain thousands of short fibers.

Filament yarns can be either flat or bulky. The flat yarns are closely packed and have a smooth surface, while the bulked yarns are often crimped or entangled with each other to increase their volume. The bulked filament yarns can be further modified using the texturing process to add durability, dimensional stability, and water-management properties to the fabric.

These yarns are available in a number of denier sizes, from 110-6,000, depending on the industrial market. Most industrial multifilament polyester yarns are between 120 and 5,000 denier.

Various factors are considered when choosing the type of polyester filament yarn to use for a particular application. These factors include: tensile strength, elasticity, abrasion resistance, durability/abrasion, breathability, easy care, drape, and dye-ability.

Some polyester filament yarns are textured, which adds to the fabric's functionality and gives it a distinctive look and feel. Textured polyester filament yarns are usually characterized by strong, durable crimps and coils, which can be woven or knitted to produce a variety of fabrics.

The textured polyester filament yarns can be used to make clothing, carpets, and other fabrics that require increased air permeability. This added air permeability can help reduce moisture transfer from the body, which can be beneficial to athletes and other users who may sweat a lot.

Spun polyester is a very strong and durable type of filament fiber that can be softened through agitation or chemical processing to reduce its abrasion/wear resistance, while still maintaining its strength and elasticity. The softer texture of this yarn makes it comfortable to wear, and it can even be used to create napery.

The global polyester filament yarn market is segmented into several sub-segments based on the type of polyester filament yarn and application. The market is categorized into Partially Oriented Yarn (POY), Fully Drawn Yarn (FDY), Drawn Textured Yarn (DTY), and others. The market is expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period.
