NEW YORK (The Southern African Times) – The global bamboo market size is expected to reach $82.90 billion by 2028. It is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate, CAGR, of 5.7% from 2021 to 2028 according to a new report by Research and Markets.
A broader scope of application of bamboo in domestic as well as commercial applications, such as furniture, fabric, food, biofuel, pulp and paper, charcoal, and cloth, is expected to pose high growth potential for the market.
The Asia Pacific accounted for almost 80% of the global bamboo product trade in 2020 owing to the high influence from China, which accounted for almost 71% of the world’s export of bamboo products. North America, Central, and South America, and Europe have also emerged as the significant traders of bamboo products in recent years owing to the presence of indigenous bamboo species in Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador, Chile, and the Dominican Republic.
Bamboo is an inexhaustible category of grass that can be cut 5 fold faster than trees and also absorbs 30% more carbon dioxide when compared with wood. Thus, the emergence of sustainability trends, especially increasing focus on environmentally neutral building materials, is expected to drive the market for bamboos over the forecast period.
