                · Key points:

o Global sequin apparel market to grow from USD 16 billion to USD 29.5 billion by 2035, ~6.3% CAGR;

o 2026 trends:

o ① carnival/celebration wear going global (Brazil/Colombia pre-book ~1 year ahead; North America favors stretch mesh sequin)

o ② recycled PET sequins becoming a requirement for EU brands

o ③ matte, iridescent (magic flip), and two-tone flip sequins rising; 5mm magic-flip sequins a breakout favorite;

o Four sourcing pain points: sequin shedding (low stitch density), harsh hand-feel (poor backing), color batch inconsistency (no lab-dip protocol), rigid customization (only 3–4 standard patterns).
