They have their worth in respect of their ability to enhance the aesthetic and textural properties of the fabric. They find their application in all textile sectors, especially in home textiles, embroidery and other apparel. In addition to this, fancy yarns are also used for many kinds of functionalities like moisture absorbency, antibacterial properties, flame retardancy, etc. Fancy yarns are made either by blending different colored yarns or by having some textural variations. The most common practice is to blend out various colored yarns or make fancy yarn by blending multicolor fibers (mélange yarn). Keeping in view the importance of fancy yarn in the textile sector, this review study was made in order to know the market trends and consumer demands in order to provide the true picture of fancy yarn applications for the industry and open future opportunities. The other aim of this study is to find the challenges faced by the fancy yarn industry in respect of raw material availability and price, market competition, production cost, and sustainability concerns. The increasing economic uncertainties and variant global demands have a high impact on the production cost. However, the new research trends in respect of environmentally friendly products and the involvement of automation in manufacturing techniques have opened new avenues for making more research on the application of fancy yarns in various sectors. This review study is based on an inclusive analysis of already published research studies, industrial reports, and the data available on the market side, especially the regional market trends. The thorough study disclosed that the key factors on which the fancy yarn industry's success is based lie in the integration of sustainability, optimization of production liabilities, and application of digital progress. By adopting these lines, the fancy yarn industry can be established on an emerging track in the evolving textile market. This study will be fruitful for manufacturers, policymakers, and researchers to make efforts to boost up the existing conventional textile sector on new lines.
