The global cellulose fiber market size is expected to reach USD 62.92 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.1% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing gap between the demand and production of natural cellulose fibers across various end-use industries is the major factor for the growth of the market. In addition, the rise in textile & apparel industries in developing and emerging economies is also anticipated to fuel the global market growth.
Increasing demand for eco-friendly and biodegradable fibers, especially in textile and hygiene industry is driving the cellulose fibers market. The production of synthetic or man-made fibers includes the industrial processing of wood pulp derived from botanical sources. However, the manufacturing of cellulose fibers entails mechanical and chemical processing of wood pulp. Viscose, triacetate, and acetate are the most common variants of rayon, which are man-made cellulose fibers used extensively across end-use industries.
The cellulose fibers market is highly capital intensive and requires proper expertise. The players present in the market are constantly engaged in the research & development for new product and technology innovations. The fluctuating raw material prices, rigid regulation regarding forestry & environmental and declining cotton production are the major challenges faced by the industry.
