Global Natural Fibers Market Report 2021: Revenues by Fiber Type, Markets and Region 2020-2030 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "The Global Market for Natural Fibers 2020-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

There are global concerns regarding the use of non-renewable materials in manufacturing and increasing environmental legislation.

There is pressure, both consumer and regulatory, for products that are more environmentally friendly and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. As a result, the use of natural fibers in products and composites will continue to grow as major contributors towards a biobased economy.

Fibers derived from bio-based sources such as plant-based (ligno) cellulosics and animal-based protein are termed natural fibers. This includes natural cellulosic fibers such as cotton, jute, sisal, coir, flax, hemp, abaca, ramie, etc.) and protein-based fibers such as wool and silk. Man-made cellulose fibers (e.g., viscose rayon, cellulose acetate and nanocellulose) that are produced with chemical procedures from pulped wood or other sources (cotton, bamboo, biomass) are also covered in this report under the natural fibers definition.

They possess advantages over synthetic fibres including widespread availability, low cost, low density, acceptable modulus-weight ratio, high acoustic damping, low manufacturing energy consumption, low carbon footprint and biodegradability.
