However, factors such as volatile raw material prices and high chemical consumption posed challenges.
Future growth is expected to be propelled by the consumer shift toward sustainable fibers, growing apparel volumes, and increasing corporate ESG goals. The market might face hurdles from competition with alternative fibers, dependence on wood-based feedstock, and geopolitical trade issues.
In 2024, the Asia Pacific region was dominant, accounting for 77.97% of the global market, equivalent to $14.24 billion. It was followed by North America and South America. The fastest-growing regions are projected to be Africa and the Middle East, with CAGRs of 7.06% and 6.27% respectively, followed by South America and Asia Pacific.
