Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and after post-COVID-19 era. The environmental damage caused by conventional fibers is notably driving the eco fiber market growth, although factors such as challenges associated with the cultivation of organic cotton may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the eco fiber industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Eco Fiber Market Driver
The environmental damage caused by conventional fibers is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global eco fiber market. The production of fibers, both natural and synthetic, has a significant impact on the environment. Non-organic cotton, the natural fiber with the highest production rate, is grown by conventional methods. The cultivation process requires large amounts of water and pesticides. The production of a cotton shirt requires more than 2,500 liters of water. Farming of cotton requires extensive application of pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, and fertilizers. The nitrate fertilizers used in cotton farms convert into nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas that primarily contributes to global warming. Further down the value chain, the preparation of dye cotton fabric also requires large quantities of chemicals, energy, and water. Conventional rayon, which is made from cellulose, is a natural fiber that requires large amounts of chemicals in the fiber spinning phase. Synthetic fibers such as polyester and other petroleum-based fibers depend on non-renewable oil resources. However, the environmental damage caused by conventional fibers is expected to fuel the demand for eco fibers.
Key Eco Fiber Market Trend
The increasing adoption of bamboo will fuel the global eco fiber market growth. Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world, and bamboo fibers are increasing in popularity. The cultivation of bamboo does not require chemical fertilizers or pesticides. It is highly biodegradable and requires around four times less water than cotton. Other advantages of bamboo are there such as it absorbs more carbon dioxide. Similarly, fabrics made of bamboo are easy to wash and are wrinkle-free, and also the fabrics made of bamboo are soft and comfortable. However, bamboo is a sustainable fiber that is used as a feedstock in the production of rayon. It does not require extensive replanting as it reproduces easily from the roots. Bamboo fibers can absorb 3-4 times more moisture than other fibers and are thus preferred for sports and casual wear. The increasing popularity of bamboo offers tremendous growth opportunities for the global eco fiber market.
Key Eco Fiber Market Challenge
The cultivation of organic cotton issues is a major challenge for the global eco fiber market growth. Organic cotton is one of the most preferred eco fibers and is gaining popularity across the globe as it does not use chemicals and is hypoallergenic. Clothes made of organic cotton are soft and comfortable. Though it is widely used, there are several challenges associated with its cultivation. However, in comparison to conventional cotton, the productivity of organic cotton is low due to the absence of growth fertilizers. High investments are required for shifting from conventional cotton farming to the organic method. Unlike non-organic cotton, the cultivation of organic cotton is complex, as weeds must be removed before sowing the seeds. These challenges associated with organic cotton cultivation increase the preference for conventional cotton, thereby posing a challenge to the global eco fiber market. The above factors will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
The eco fiber market in the region witnessed certain challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic affected end-user sectors, such as construction, furniture, and automotive. Temporary factory closures and layoffs began to hit low-wage workers across the region, as quarantines and travel restrictions due to the pandemic disrupted the supply chains to other countries. For instance, in April 2020, Supreme Industries Ltd., a plastic processing company in India, announced its plan to suspend operations at all of its manufacturing facilities until further notice. Such factors not only affected the regional demand for eco fibers in 2020 but will also affect the growth of the market during the forecast period.
