Market Insights

Wood-based fibers are made from cellulose, a naturally occurring polymer that is extracted from plant-based materials, and are then further shaped into fibers using different technologies, including viscose, modal, and lyocell, with chemical structures that are identical to those of natural fibers such as cotton and wool.

The emergence of the pandemic has impacted consumer spending in a number of sectors. A wide range of effects due to the pandemic, negatively impacted end-use markets for wood-based fibers, including apparel, home textiles, automotive, and more, due to which the demand for the product was significantly reduced during the pandemic period.

The market for wood-based fibers is anticipated to grow as the textile industry expands across many nations. In addition, due to their sustainability qualities, wood-based cellulosic fibers have seen a significant rise in interest in recent years. The textile industry values the unique qualities that each type of fiber possesses, so over the coming years, they will all be highly favored. Collectively, all the mentioned factors would drive the wood-based fibers market to grow at a promising CAGR of 6.5% over the coming five years.
