Hemp Fiber Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Our researcher studied the historical data for years, with 2021 as the base year and 2022 as the estimated year, and produced drivers, trends, and challenges for the global hemp fiber market. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for the hemp fiber market has been impacted significantly. A holistic analysis of drivers will help in predicting exact demands and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Hemp Fiber Market Driver

The increasing use of hemp fibers in the textile industry is one of the key factors driving the global hemp fiber market's growth. Since the early Middle Ages, hemp has been used as a natural fiber source for textiles and fabrics. Hemp grows quickly as it is a weed, unlike cotton, which requires a lot of water, chemical fertilizers, and insecticides to flourish. It expands quickly and neatly and naturally repels insects. Hemp fiber is more durable than cotton or synthetic fibers, making it resilient and long-lasting when used in clothing. The original pair of jeans that Levi Strauss created was made of hemp-based fabric. Hemp fiber is produced in a variety of ways and blended with other complementary yarns. Compared to synthetic fibers, it is lighter in weight and has high insulation qualities. Chemical modifications will also provide hemp fiber with waterproof and windproof qualities, increasing its versatility.  Owing to its features, such as ultraviolet (UV) and mold resistance, hemp is also highly suitable for outdoor wear. Also, hemp is blended with other fibers to endow various qualities to a garment. Thus, the increasing use of hemp fiber in the clothing industry will spur the growth of the global hemp fiber market during the forecast period.

Key Hemp Fiber Market Trend

The increasing demand from the paper and pulp industry will fuel the global hemp fiber market growth. Nowadays, hemp fiber is increasingly used in the paper and pulp industry. To create paper and cardboard, wood pulp is often extracted from trees (such as pine, eucalyptus, and spruce). The forest land and cover worldwide have declined due to the high demand for paper pulp, particularly in developing nations, and this might seriously deplete this natural resource. The chemical composition of hemp hurds is similar to that of wood, making hemp a good choice as a raw material for manufacturing paper. Paper and cardboard can be made using hemp as an alternative to wood pulp. Bast and hurd fibers are used in combination to create hemp paper.;90% of the hemp-based paper produced in Europe is used for making cigarettes. Books, tea bags, money, and laboratory filter papers are a few more uses of hemp fiber-based paper. Hemp has a lower lignin level than wood; it has a lignin content of 5%-24% while wood has a lignin content of 20%-35%. Such factors will boost the growth of the global hemp fiber market during the forecast period.

Key Hemp Fiber Market Challenge

The challenges associated with the production of hemp are the major challenge to the global hemp fiber market growth. Although hemp is increasingly consumed in a wide range of applications, its production has been a challenge for farmers globally. Hemp production requires specific climatic conditions, such as a mild climate, a humid atmosphere, a rainfall of a minimum of 25-30 inches annually, well-drained loam soils, and compact soils. Also, as there are very few genetic differences between hemp and marijuana, hemp farming faces regulatory challenges as marijuana is classified as a dangerous drug by the Federal government in the US. Hemp contains 0.3% of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), while marijuana contains 3%-15% of THC by weight. Also, the THC content in hemp and marijuana defines the legal standards for each plant. The production of marijuana is illegal in several countries, including the US, due to its high THC content. As different components of hemp and marijuana are not clear among farmers, the production of hemp poses a major challenge. Such factors are expected to hamper the growth of the global hemp fiber market during the forecast period.

This hemp fiber market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.

COVID-19 Impact and Recovery Analysis

The increasing spread of COVID-19 negatively impacted the growth of the hemp fiber market in APAC in 2020. Countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India registered a high number of COVID-19 cases. Hence, governments in APAC took initiatives such as the imposition of lockdowns to contain the spread of the disease. End-users of hemp fiber, such as the textile and paper industries, also halted their operations, which reduced the demand for hemp fiber in 2020. Moreover, disruptions in the supply chain operations for hemp fiber further hampered the growth of the market in focus in APAC in 2020. However, the removal of lockdown restrictions and the initiation of large-scale vaccination drives stabilized the growth of the market in focus in 2021. Moreover, the resumption of operations in industries such as textiles revived the demand for hemp fiber. Thus, the regional hemp fiber market witnessed growth in Q3 2021 and is expected to grow during the forecast period owing to increasing demand from various end-user industries such as textiles.
