Because of its booming textile industry and the enhancing living standards, the Asia Pacific is currently one of the leading markets for lyocell fibre. The growing demand for biodegradable cellulose fibre is propelling the global lyocell fibre market forward. As people get more concerned about the climate, the demand for the commodity is growing all over the world. Lyocell fibre is used in a variety of industries, such as apparel, textiles, medicine, and paper and pulp. It is used as a replacement for cotton and silk in sportswear, jackets, bed linens, jeans, T-shirts, trousers, and towels due to its flexibility. It is suitable for surgical dressings because of its high absorbency profile.

Industry Definition and Major Segments       

Lyocell fibre is a man-made fibre made from cellulose extracted from bleached wood pulp. It was first formulated in 1972 and is known as the third-generation cellulose fibre. Lyocell fibres are known for being solid yet soft, wrinkle-resistant, highly absorbent, and capable of imitating a variety of fabrics, such as suede, leather, and silk.

Market Trends       

The widespread use of lyocell fibre in the clothing and home garment industries is driving the global lyocell fibre industry growth. This is due to their tenacity and absorption ability, which is why they are favoured over other fibres such as cotton and rayon. Furthermore, as the market for environmentally safe and biodegradable cellulose fibres grows, manufacturers are increasingly turning to lyocell fibre. Several other considerations help the sector, such as the fact that it can be quickly disposed off by landfilling, sewage digestion, or burning after use. Furthermore, since lyocell fibres do not contain any poisonous substances, they are suitable for making medical-grade non-woven goods. These factors are expected to propel the market growth in the coming years.
