European and North American countries such as the U.K., Germany, the U.S., Canada, and France are among the largest importers of abaca fibers for applications across various industries such as currency notes, tea/coffee bags, automotive, and textile. The lockdown regulations in these countries also led to transport restrictions thus disrupting the supply chain of the market.

High demand for the product in the manufacture of clothing, curtains, paper making, and screen and furnishings, over the past few years owing to the properties such as superior high mechanical strength, long fiber length resistance to salt-water damage is expected to drive the industry growth. In addition, the market is also expected to grow on account of increasing product adoption across the globe.

The usage of abaca fibers is also rising in the automotive industry with the growing adoption of natural fibers in car manufacturing. These fibers are utilized in several applications in the automotive industry such as filling material for bolster and interior trip parts and exterior semi-structure components as a substitute for glass fiber in reinforced plastic components.

The demand for abaca fibers has grown internationally over the past few years owing to its growing adoption within several industries including paper, automotive, medical fabric, and handicraft. However, the market has witnessed low productivity, which has not been enough to fulfill the demand. For instance, the demand-supply gap was about 25,000 metric tons in 2019.
