Key Highlights by Stakeholders
Highlighting the significance of this report, Anshul Mishra, Associate Vice-President of Allied Market Research, stated, “The synthetic viscose fiber sector is propelled by the growing demand for sustainable and versatile textiles across apparel, medical, and industrial applications. However, challenges such as fluctuating raw material prices and environmental concerns in production processes persist. Innovations in high wet modulus viscose and increasing adoption in eco-friendly fashion and healthcare sectors provide numerous opportunities, thus driving sustainable growth in the global textile industry.”
Development of Advanced Synthetic Viscose Fiber Sector Trends
The development of the advanced synthetic viscose fiber sector is being driven by sustainability mandates, technological innovation, and growing demand from apparel and hygiene industries. According to Lenzing AG, a key player in the viscose market, demand for eco-responsible cellulosic fibers like Ecovero viscose is rising, with their share in the company’s fiber portfolio increasing from 30% in 2018 to over 70% by 2023. This shift reflects a global trend toward closed-loop production and low-emission viscose to meet EU BAT (Best Available Techniques) standards. Major brands like H&M, Zara, and Levi’s have committed to using 100% sustainably sourced viscose by 2025, prompting upstream investment in high-tenacity viscose, flame-retardant variants, and micro-modal blends. For example, Aditya Birla Group’s Birla Cellulose has launched Livaeco, a biodegradable viscose product that reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50%. Similarly, Chinese players such as Sateri and Tangshan Sanyou are adopting bio-based solvents and pulp traceability tech to meet international certification standards (e.g., FSC, EU Ecolabel). This convergence of environmental compliance, functional innovation, and fast-fashion adoption highlights a robust trajectory for the synthetic viscose fiber sector globally.
Synthetic viscose fiber stakeholders should use the report’s insights to seize new opportunities and develop strategic plans.
