Bast fiber, also known as phloem fiber or skin fiber, is the
fiber collected from the phloem or bast surrounding the stem of certain
dicotyledonous plants. Some bast fibers are obtained from herbs, wild plants,
and trees. Bast fibers are classified into two types: soft fibers and hard
fibers. It is produced through the retting process.
Based on
fiber type, the bast
fiber market can be segmented into soft fiber and hard fiber. The soft
fibers segment accounted for significant share of the bast fibers market in
2016 owing to the wide applications in different end-use industries. The hard
fibers segment is anticipated to experience high growth rate, led by the
increase in demand for textiles. Changes in consumer preferences and rise in
disposable income are anticipated to boost the demand for bast fibers during
the forecast period.
