Non-invertible symmetries are novel transformations of quantum systems that imply new selection rules and constraints on dynamics. We derive the implications of these symmetries on the particle spectrum of two dimensional QFTs. We show that these symmetries often imply degeneracies between particles and solitons and apply our analyses to examples ranging from integrable deformations of minimal models to two-dimensional QCD.
