The  cellulose fiber market  encompasses natural fibers derived from plant-based sources and regenerated cellulose fibers made from natural cellulose that is chemically processed. These fibers are widely used in textiles, nonwovens, and other industrial applications due to their desirable properties, such as biodegradability, comfort, and versatility. The market includes a variety of fiber types, each with distinct characteristics and applications.

Types of Cellulose Fibers

1. Natural Cellulose Fibers:

   • Cotton: The most widely used natural cellulose fiber, known for its softness, breathability, and comfort.
   • Jute: Strong, coarse fibers used in making burlap, hessian, and other coarse fabrics.
   • Flax (Linen): Known for its strength and durability, used in textiles and home furnishings.
   • Hemp: Durable and environmentally friendly, used in textiles, ropes, and other products.
   • Others: Include fibers like ramie and sisal.

2. Regenerated Cellulose Fibers:

• Viscose (Rayon): A versatile fiber with silk-like feel, used in apparel, home textiles, and nonwovens.
• Lyocell (Tencel): Known for its high strength and eco-friendly production process, used in textiles and hygiene products.
• Modal: A type of rayon with a high wet strength, used in clothing and home textiles.
• Acetate: Used in fashion fabrics, linings, and specialty applications.
