Global demand for lyocell fabrics has been on the rise due to their applications in various industries such as textiles, healthcare, hygiene, automotive, and others. Lyocell fabric is a natural fiber made from wood pulp. This regenerated cellulose fiber is usually sold under the brand name, Tencel, in the U.S. Lyocell fabric is a biodegradable fiber made with wood pulp from sustainable tree farms using a solvent spinning technique. Major applications of lyocell fabric are in the garment industry. It is also used in manufacturing of various other products such as ropes, bandages, abrasive materials, automotive filters, and protective suiting materials.

Market Dynamics

Lyocell fabric offers various properties such as softness, strength, absorbency, and wickability compared to other cellulosic fibers which makes it a preferable choice in hygiene sector for manufacturing products such as wet wipes and sanitary napkins. Factors such as rising health & hygiene awareness among people, coupled with increasing disposable income of people across the globe have led to increasing demand for lyocell fabrics for manufacturing hygiene products. For instance, according to a report by Bureau of Economic Analysis report in May 2022, disposal income increased $113.4 billion in 2022 with 5% increase from the previous year 2021. Thus, increasing demand for hygiene products is expected to drive demand for lyocell fabric over the forecast period.

The main component of lyocell fabric, cellulose, is obtained from forests and its production does not result in by-products which are harmful for the environment and human health. Owing to rising environmental concerns, demand for lyocell fiber is increasing across the globe. Furthermore, rising technological advancements have paved way to produce lyocell fiber using cutting-edge N-methyl morpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) technology. This technology is resource-conserving, simple, and environment-friendly in comparison to conventional manufacturing processes.

Among product type, staple fiber held a significant market share in the year 2021. Staple fibers are prominently used in the production of heavy-use objects such as blankets, coats, rugs, and wrap threads. Rising demand for housing products is anticipated to fuel demand for blankets, rugs, and carpets over the forecast period.
