North America is set to hold 18.3% of the global market share, driven by a strong textile industry that increasingly favors plant-based fibers over traditional synthetics for sustainability.


NEWARK, Del, Sept. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In recent years, there has been a significant shift towards sustainability and eco-consciousness in various industries, including textiles. The global plant-based fiber market size is projected to be worth USD 294.8 million in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 678.9 million by 2033. The market is likely to record a significant CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period.

Plant-based fibers, derived from renewable sources such as plants, trees, and agricultural waste, have become a viable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional synthetic and animal-based fibers.

They offer a range of advantages, including reduced carbon footprint, biodegradability, and lower water and energy consumption during production.

Benefits of Plant-based Fibers:

  • Health and Comfort: Plant-based fibers often possess natural properties such as breathability, moisture-wicking, and hypoallergenic qualities, enhancing comfort and promoting healthier living.
  • Carbon Footprint Reduction: Plant-based fibers generally require fewer resources and energy, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions and a smaller carbon footprint.
  • Sustainability: Plant-based fibers are renewable resources, reducing reliance on non-renewable materials and minimizing environmental impact.
  • Biodegradability: Unlike synthetic fibers, plant-based fibers are biodegradable, meaning they can naturally decompose at the end of their life cycle, reducing waste accumulation.

Manufacturers and designers are actively exploring innovative ways to enhance the performance and versatility of plant-based fibers, expanding their applications in various industries. Additionally, advancements in technology and processing techniques further contribute to developing new plant-based fibers with enhanced properties.

As consumers become more conscious of their choices, the market for plant-based fibers is expected to flourish, paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future in the textile industry. By embracing plant-based fibers, we can contribute to the preservation of our planet while enjoying high-quality and sustainable textile products.
