Global Hemp Clothing Market Report and Forecast 2023-2028

According to the report the global hemp clothing market reached a value of USD 2.52 billion in 2022. Aided by the sustainability and versatility of hemp fabric, thriving e-commerce sector, and the increasing affordability of hemp clothing, the market is projected to further grow at a CAGR of 9.72% between 2023 and 2028 to reach a value of USD 4.5 billion by 2028.

Hemp clothing is made from the fibres of the stalks of the Cannabis sativa plant, a resilient and fast-growing plant that requires minimal water and no pesticides. Its fibres are known for their strength and durability, and they produce a fabric that is lightweight, absorbent, and UV and mould resistant. Moreover, hemp fabric has the advantage of being biodegradable and recyclable, making it a sustainable choice for clothing.

The increasing consumer preference for eco-friendly clothing is a key driver of the global hemp clothing market growth. With heightened awareness of environmental issues and the detrimental effects of fast fashion, there has been a significant shift towards sustainable clothing options, leading to a surge in demand for hemp-based products. Furthermore, the growing trend of fitness and wellness has increased the popularity of hemp clothing, given its breathability and comfort, making it ideal for activewear.

The diversifying applications of hemp in various sectors also significantly contribute to the hemp clothing market expansion. In the fashion industry, designers are increasingly incorporating hemp fabric into their collections, attracted by its versatility, durability, and sustainability. This extends beyond apparel to include accessories like bags, shoes, and scarves. Moreover, hemp's natural resistance to bacteria and UV light makes it a popular choice for outdoor wear and protective clothing.

Further, favourable government initiatives to legalise hemp production, particularly in emerging nations is one of the key market trends propelling the hemp clothing market growth. This phenomenon is fuelling the commercialisation of hemp goods, especially clothes.

Moreover, the rising demand for vegan and cruelty-free products in the apparel industry has led to an increased focus on hemp as a viable material for ethical fashion. With the rise of veganism and the growing popularity of plant-based and cruelty-free lifestyles, hemp has emerged as a key player in sustainable and ethical fashion, thereby propelling the hemp clothing market demand.
