Cellulosic Fibre Market, Global Outlook and Forecast 2024-2031

In Business Insights
September 10, 2025


The global Cellulosic Fibre Market reached a valuation of USD 25.7 billion in 2023 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8% through 2030. This sustainable material, derived from wood pulp and agricultural residues, is witnessing accelerated adoption across textiles, non-wovens, and hygiene products as industries pivot toward eco-friendly alternatives.

Cellulosic fibres offer inherent advantages including biodegradability, moisture absorption, and breathability – properties driving their penetration into fast fashion, medical textiles, and packaging applications. The market’s expansion is further fueled by tightening environmental regulations and growing consumer preference for plant-based materials over synthetic alternatives.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis

Asia-Pacific commands 47% of global cellulosic fibre production, with China, India, and Indonesia emerging as manufacturing hubs. The region benefits from abundant raw material availability, low labor costs, and established textile value chains. Recent CAPEX investments exceeding USD 1.2 billion in viscose staple fibre capacity underscore the sector’s growth potential.

Europe maintains technological leadership in sustainable production methods, with the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan mandating 50% textile recycling rates by 2025. North America shows robust growth in specialty applications, particularly lyocell fibres for technical textiles. Latin America and Africa are witnessing increasing foreign investments in dissolving pulp infrastructure to serve global fibre demand.

Key Market Drivers and Opportunities

The market benefits from three converging trends: regulatory pressures against synthetic microfibers, fashion brands’ sustainability commitments, and advancements in closed-loop production technologies. The textile sector accounts for 62% of demand, followed by non-wovens (24%) and industrial applications (14%). Emerging opportunities include:

– High-tenacity fibres for automotive composites
– Anti-microbial medical textiles
– Sustainable packaging solutions
– Hybrid fibre blends for performance apparel

Challenges & Restraints

Growth barriers include:
– Volatility in wood pulp prices (up 18% YoY in 2023)
– High CAPEX requirements for eco-friendly production technologies
– Competition from recycled polyester and bio-based synthetics
– Complex certification processes for sustainable forestry inputs
