Companies in the supply chain share strategies for hemp as an industrial-scale fiber

Dec 1, 2025

Hemp is often referred to as a “miracle fiber.” It is exceptionally strong, highly durable and known for its environmental advantages. Its tensile strength can reach up to eight times that of cotton. Instead of degrading over time, hemp fibers grow softer with use and repeated washing while maintaining their structural integrity. In the United States, the industrial hemp market is projected to expand significantly, with estimates suggesting it could reach a value of about US$8.38 billion by 2032, driven by adoption across pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, textiles, cosmetics and other sectors.
