The global silk market was valued at $15.6 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $34.1 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2022 to 2031. Silk is one of the luxurious fabrics and shimmering textile which is gaining huge popularity across the world. Some of the key qualities of silk fiber include its lustrous appearance, opulent feel, resilience, lightweight, and strength.
The silk industry was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic owing to fluctuating raw material prices of silk, crash in cocoon production, non-availability of skilled workers. These factors have affected the silk demand, cash flow problems, and have significantly reduced the working capital. The cancellation of import-export orders owing to restrictions laid by various countries have significantly impacted the silk market. Thus, pandemic has posed an negative impact on silkworm rearers, silk reelers, weavers as well as traders.
Silk is widely used in different types of clothing, such as gowns, wedding gowns, neckties, and scarves, as well as in many household items, such as wall hangings, pillows, upholstery, and draperies. Additionally, silk has less conductivity than other materials, which promotes its use in ties, shirts, haute couture garments, formal dress suits, robes, kimonos, and sundresses. The demand for silk is expected to increase as a result of the aforementioned crucial factors, which could ultimately lead to a flourishing global market.
The silk production requires less investment as it does not need complex machines and equipment for silk production. The silk sector is more labor-intensive than investment-intensive industries globally. These factors are projected to contribute to the market expansion. Increasing research and knowledge about Seri-by-products and Seri-waste products will be essential for the growth of the silk protein market in the upcoming years. One of the significant reasons for the increasing utilization of silk protein across several industries is the presence of dipeptides and tripeptides within them that can easily penetrate into the bloodstream by traveling from the dermis skin layer. Additionally, the presence of components such as natural amino acids in silk protein makes it desirable for various cosmetics and supplement manufacturing applications.
One of the factors limiting the silk market growth is the fluctuation of silk material prices. Additionally, inadequate market and storage facilities, lack of transportation options, and inadequate market trend information, particularly in the countries such as India, Brazil, and Uzbekistan, are some of the factors that are causing obstructions in the global market.
New companies working in this market are also developing novel ideas that may have a favorable effect on the sector. For instance, ReshaMandi, an agro-tech business based in Karnataka, enables silk growers to raise total revenue and improve silk quality through technology interventions. In May 2021, the company offered cutting-edge ‘AI & IoT led ecosystem technologies’ that assisted 5,500 silk producers in raising their income by 30%. The global market for silk may be further stimulated by such technological advancements and integration.
