Abaca Fiber Market by Product, Type, Application

List of Tables

The Abaca Fiber Market was valued at USD 501.01 million in 2023, expected to reach USD 568.40 million in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.43%, to USD 1,210.55 million by 2030.

Abaca fiber, often referred to as Manila hemp, is derived from the leaf sheaths of the abaca plant, native to the Philippines. This natural fiber is renowned for its exceptional strength, flexibility, and resistance to saltwater degradation, making it indispensable in various applications such as marine cordage, specialty paper, and textiles. The rise in demand for sustainable and biodegradable materials across industries highlights the necessity of abaca fiber in replacing synthetic alternatives, thereby reducing environmental impact. End-use scope spans several sectors - from automotive, where it is used in composite materials, to the paper industry for producing filter papers and banknotes, and in textiles for woven fabrics.
