What Will Be The Growth Driving Factors In The Global Dissolving Pulp Market In The Forecast Period?
The rapid growth of the global dissolving pulp market leading up to 2029 will be driven by the following key factors that are expected to reshape sustainable materials production, textile manufacturing, and bio-based chemical value chains worldwide.
Consumer Shift Toward Sustainable/Biobased Fibers - The consumer shift toward sustainable/biobased fibers will become a key driver of growth in the dissolving pulp market by 2029. Dissolving pulp is the primary raw material used in the production of regenerated cellulose fibers such as viscose, lyocell and modal. As consumers increasingly prefer sustainable clothing over synthetic fibers like polyester, demand for bio-based fibers grows, creating a positive push for dissolving pulp. As consumers become more conscious of the environmental impact of their purchases, the demand for apparel made from sustainable and bio-based fibers is expected to rise, driving the industry towards more sustainable practices and dissolving pulp. As a result, the consumer shift toward sustainable/biobased fibers is anticipated to contributing to a 1.3% annual growth in the market.
Growth In Apparel & Fast-Fashion Volumes - The growth in apparel & fast-fashion volumes will emerge as a major factor driving the expansion of the dissolving pulp market by 2029. Dissolving pulp is a key raw material for manufacturing cellulose-based fibers such as viscose, lyocell and modal. With the global fast-fashion industry pushing for high-volume, low-cost textiles, demand for viscose fiber has surged. This drives higher consumption of dissolving pulp as textile producers seek cost-effective and scalable raw materials. As the apparel and fast-fashion sectors continue to grow, the need for innovative and efficient fiber solutions is expected to rise, thereby propelling the dissolving pulp market forward. Consequently, the growth in apparel & fast-fashion volumes capabilities is projected to contributing to a 1.0% annual growth in the market.
Growing Corporate ESG And Carbon Footprint Reduction Goals - The growing corporate ESG and carbon footprint reduction goals will serve as a key growth catalyst for the dissolving pulp market by 2029. Companies and industries are under growing pressure from stakeholders, including investors, regulators and consumers, to adopt environmentally responsible practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Sustainable packaging materials, such as biodegradable films and recyclable polymers, help corporations meet these ESG and carbon reduction targets while maintaining product integrity and functionality. Dissolving pulp, derived from renewable wood sources, is being positioned as a sustainable alternative to fossil-fuel-based materials such as polyester in textiles or plastics in packaging. This alignment makes dissolving pulp a preferred input for companies aiming to reduce Scope 3 emissions in their supply chains. Therefore, this growing corporate ESG and carbon footprint reduction goals operations is projected to supporting to a 0.8% annual growth in the market.
Growing Demand For Bio-Based Polymers And Films - The growing demand for bio-based polymers and films will become a significant driver contributing to the growth of the dissolving pulp market by 2029. Industries are increasingly adopting cellulose-derived products, such as rayon, viscose and specialty cellulose, which offer biodegradability and a reduced environmental footprint. Dissolving pulp provides practical benefits by enabling high-quality fiber production, offering excellent chemical purity and complying with emerging environmental regulations. With consumers and governments worldwide pushing for sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based materials, the use of dissolving pulp in textiles, packaging and specialty applications is expanding rapidly, thereby fuelling market growth. Consequently, the growing demand for bio-based polymers and films strategies is projected to contributing to a 0.5% annual growth in the market.
