Which Factors Are Boosting Growth In The Natural Fibers Market?
As the emphasis on vehicle fuel efficiency intensifies, the natural fibers market is poised to benefit considerably. Fuel efficiency is the measure of a vehicle's ability to travel longer distances with a specific amount of fuel. Merely by lessening the weight of the vehicle, natural fibers contribute to the production of fuel-efficient vehicles as less fuel is consumed. For example, the International Energy Agency, a France-based independent intergovernmental body, reported in March 2023 that CO2 emissions related to industrial procedures and energy combustion rose by 0.9% or 321 Mt (Million Tones) in 2022. Consequently, the increased emphasis on fuel efficiency acts as a catalyst for the growth of the natural fiber market.
