Viscose Staple Fiber (VSF) Market Analysis

The global viscose staple fiber (VSF) market size reached 6164.1 Thousand Tons in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 9870.2 Thousand Tons, at a projected CAGR of 5.40% during 2023-2032.

• VSF is largely utilized in the textile sector due to its softness, breathability, and dye affinity, making it ideal for clothing and upholstery materials. VSF fibers allow air to circulate freely, which helps in managing moisture and keeping the wearer cool. This property is especially valued in clothing designed for comfort in warm climates. Besides, VSF is highly dye-receptive, resulting in brilliant colors with great saturation. This makes it a popular choice for fashion and upholstery fabrics, where color and aesthetics are important. As the global textile industry increases, particularly in emerging economies, so does demand for VSF. The global textile market is expected to be worth $1,027.0 billion by 2023. Looking ahead, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach US$ 1,445.4 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% between 2024 and 2032.
• There is a noticeable shift in consumer preference toward natural fibers, which are perceived as more comfortable and less harmful to the environment compared to synthetic alternatives. This shift is particularly pronounced in markets with increasing awareness of environmental issues. As per the Roundup Org, the sustainable fashion industry is currently worth over $6.5 Billion. The average annual growth rate of the ethical fashion market is 8.3%. This could grow to 9.7% a year by 2030. Furthermore, products marketed as sustainable are expected to grow 5.6 times faster than those that were not. Moreover, 73% of British consumers who only buy sustainable brands are also happy to buy second-hand clothes.  These numbers collectively influence the demand for VSF across the globe.
• Synthetic fibers, such as polyester and nylon, are derived from petrochemicals which makes them non-biodegradable and a source of microplastic pollution. These fibers can take hundreds of years to decompose, during which they continue to pollute the environment. As a result, in many regions, governments are imposing stricter regulations on the use of synthetic fibers, which are non-biodegradable and pollutive. This regulatory environment favors the adoption of natural fibers like VSF.

Product Description

Viscose staple fiber (VSF) is a kind of regenerated cellulose fiber that is created by chemically dissolving natural materials like wood and agricultural goods into cellulose fibers. Due to their outstanding drapability, the fibers can fall or flow in a way that improves the fabric's visual appeal. To improve the qualities of the finished product, viscose staple fibers can be combined with other fibers like cotton, wool, or synthetic fibers. Viscose is made by dissolving cellulose in a solution, extruding the substance through tiny holes to create fibers, and then hardening the fibers using a variety of chemical and mechanical techniques. The end product is smooth, silky fibers with characteristics resembling those of natural fibers like silk or cotton.
