Depending on the continent and climate zone, natural fibers grow all year round. The dependence on local and global weather influences changes the quality and quantity of the fibers at the time of harvest or during and after cleaning and processing.
Geopolitical or regional events are other factors affecting the availability of natural fibers. In the case of statistical evaluations, it must be taken into account that some regional harvest periods also take place at the turn of the year.
World production of natural fibres in 2025 is estimated at 32.4 million tonnes, a decline of 600,000 tonnes from 2024. The estimate of world natural fibre production in 2025 includes 25.5 million tonnes of cotton, 2.8 million tonnes of jute and allied fibres, 1.2 million tonnes of coir, 980,000 tonnes of wool, and 2 million tonnes of all other natural fibres combined. Cotton production is estimated at 26.1 million tonnes in 2024, jute at 2.8 million, coir and wool at more than one million tonnes each, and all other natural fibres combined total 2 million tonnes. Natural fibres accounted for 28% of world fibre production in 2023.
