Global Silk Market, Trends & Growth Opportunity, By Silk Type (Tussar Silk, Mulberry Silk, Eri Silk, Others), By Use (Textiles, Medical, Cosmetics), By Region and Forecast till 2030.
Global Silk Market
The Global Silk Market was valued at USD 20.35 Bn in 2022 and is expected to expand to USD 36.17 Bn by 2030 at a CAGR of 6.72% during the forecast period of 2023-2030.
Silk is a type of natural protein fiber that can be woven into fabrics. Silk is a protein fiber composed primarily of fibroin that is generated by certain larvae to form cocoons. The most well-known silk is made from the cocoons of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori larvae that are raised in captivity, through a process known as sericulture. Due to the prism-like structures of the silk fibers, the cloth refracts light at various angles, producing different colors, and emitting a shimmering appearance.
Market Drivers
The primary drivers of the silk market are the rapidly expanding textile industry globally, as well as the cultural appeal of silk and silk products. Silk is not just used in producing apparel; silk is also a preferred material for furnishings and upholstery. The traditional significance of silk as a luxurious and premium fabric is a major driver for the growth of the silk market. Moreover, silk is also a preferred fabric for clothing for cold seasons, due to its ability to produce warmth. 
Market Restraints
The global silk market can be restricted by ethical concerns over using silkworms for the production of silk fabric. The exploitation and the mass reproduction of silkworms solely for the purpose of producing silk has been an ongoing issue. Many activists prefer to boycott using silk and silk products. This can significantly narrow down the scope of the silk market.
The high costs of silk production, as well as the existence of several low-cost and durable substitutes for silk, is also a significant challenge to the growth of the silk market.
Market Segmentation
The global silk market is segmented into silk types, such as tussar silk, mulberry silk, eri silk, and others. Further, the market is segmented by uses, such as textiles, medical, and cosmetics. Based on region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa.
Regional Analysis
The Asia Pacific market has historically been the major producer of silk, due to countries like China and India, and thus holds the major share of the silk market. This trend is expected to continue during the forecast period as well. The traditional significance of silk as a royal and rich piece of clothing is also concentrated in the Asia Pacific region, which will enable more and more people to continue purchasing silk clothes and other products.
Europe and North America may show significant growth potential during the forecast period. This is due to the well-established fashion industry in these regions.
