The bio-based textiles market size is expected to reach USD 17.31 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "Bio-Based Textiles Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report By Source Material (Plant-Based, Animal-Based, Microbial/Bioengineered, and Others), By Application, By Region; Market Forecast, 2025-2034" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Bio-based textiles are fabrics derived from natural, renewable sources such as plants, animals, or microorganisms, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional synthetic textiles such as polyester and nylon. These materials are produced using biological raw materials, including cotton, hemp, bamboo, flax, wool, silk, and innovative fibers such as lyocell and algae-based fabrics. Unlike petroleum-based synthetics, bio-based textiles are biodegradable or compostable, reducing environmental pollution and reliance on fossil fuels. The production of bio-based textiles generally consumes less energy and water, lowering the carbon footprint of the fashion and textile industries.
Bio-based textiles are used across various applications, including clothing, home furnishings, medical textiles, and industrial products. In fashion, organic cotton and hemp are popular for their breathability and durability, while lyocell is favored for its softness and moisture-wicking properties, making it ideal for active wear and casual apparel. Bamboo fibers are used in socks, underwear, and kitchen towels due to their antibacterial qualities. Beyond apparel, bio-based textiles are utilized in carpets and biodegradable packaging.
The growing demand for sustainable fashion is propelling the innovations in bio-based textiles, such as lab-grown leather from mushroom mycelium and pineapple leaf fibers. These materials provide cruelty-free and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional leather, which is increasing their adoption among eco-conscious consumers.
In terms of source material, the plant-based segment accounted for a major revenue market share in 2024 due to the growing consumer shift toward sustainable and vegan alternatives in the textile industry.
Based on application, the home textiles segment is projected to grow at a robust pace in the coming years, owing to the increasing demand for sustainable products in the residential and hospitality sectors.
The Europe bio-based textiles market accounted for 33.03% of global revenue share in 2024. This dominance is attributed to strong regulatory frameworks, high consumer awareness, and robust sustainability initiatives across the region.
The market in Asia Pacific is projected to grow at a robust pace during the forecast period, owing to the rising environmental concerns, expanding middle-class populations, and increasing support from governments for sustainable manufacturing.
The market in North America is projected to hold a substantial market share in 2034 due to rising consumer preference for sustainable products, corporate sustainability goals, and government incentives.
