• In the following years, the bamboo market is projected to experience robust expansion. The forecast suggests an increase to $106.48 billion in 2029, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.6%.
This growth during the forecasted period can be credited to factors like climate change mitigation, initiatives towards a circular economy, economic prosperity, escalating material costs, regulatory transitions, and worldwide health apprehensions.

The anticipated surge in paper demand is set to trigger expansion in the bamboo market. Paper, a slim, level material created from cellulose fibers extracted from wood, rags, and other materials, is ideal for writing, wrapping, and wall decoration. Bamboo pulp is utilized in the manufacturing process of paper, which is then used to create books, prints, packages, and decorations. For example, Business Line, an Indian news outlet, reported in May 2022 that paper consumption in India is expected to increase by 6-7%, potentially reaching up to 30 million tons by 2026–2027. Consequently, the escalating paper demand is fueling expansion in the bamboo market.
