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.
The estimate of 2025 world natural fibre production rose to 32.7 million tonnes during July, nearly equal to production in 2024. The estimate of world cotton production issued by USDA rose 300,000 tonnes to 25.8 million based on improved prospects in the United States and China. World production of jute is estimated at 2.8 million tonnes. Wool and coir production are estimated at around one million tonnes each, and all other natural fibres combined are estimated at two million tonnes.
