Global Double Jersey Circular Knitting Machines Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Double Jersey Circular Knitting Machines market size is predicted to grow from US$ 220 million in 2025 to US$ 335 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2026 to 2032.

In 2025, global sales of double jersey circular knitting machines reached 6,129 units, with an average price of US$36,680 per unit.

A double jersey circular knitting machine is a circular weft knitting machine equipped with two sets of needle beds. Its core structure includes a vertically arranged cylinder and a horizontally arranged dial, with the two sets of needles arranged at a 90° right angle. Through the coordinated movement of the cylinder needles and the dial needles, it knits double jersey fabric—a fabric with loop structures on both sides, approximately twice the thickness of single jersey fabric, exhibiting excellent dimensional stability, bidirectional elasticity, and anti-curling properties. The machine controls the needle movement trajectory through cam systems such as the loop-forming cam, tuck cam, and float cam, and can knit rib, double rib (cotton wool), and various composite structures.

The main raw materials for double-sided circular knitting machines include yarn (cotton yarn, polyester, nylon, spandex, etc.), knitting needles (alloy steel latch needles), cam and pin assemblies (precision-machined alloy steel parts), needle cylinders/needle discs (special alloy heat-treated parts), and electronic control systems (servo motors, PLCs, touch screens, etc.). Yarn costs account for the highest proportion of the total cost of knitted fabrics, approximately 60%-75%, and price fluctuations directly affect the profits of manufacturers—the prices of commodities such as cotton and polyester staple fiber are significantly affected by international market supply and demand and crude oil prices. In terms of equipment manufacturing, core components of high-end double-sided circular knitting machines, such as needle cylinders, pin assemblies, and cams, require imported Japanese alloy steel that undergoes CNC precision machining and heat treatment. While the localization rate is gradually increasing, the high-end market still relies on imports.
