Natural fibers are produced from plants and animals that can be supplemented and broken down naturally, reducing the environmental impact of disposing of them. The production of natural fibers generally requires less energy and uses fewer chemicals than synthetic fibers. This makes it more environmentally conscious and sustainably produced. Therefore, as the advantages of natural fibers are known to more people, the market size of natural fibers continues to expand.

Increased moral standards and increased environmental awareness

Growing consumer interest in natural and organic food, beverages, and personal products is leading manufacturers to shift their core growth focus from synthetic to natural products. The textile industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world. It has a major impact on water pollution, air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Increasing emphasis on sustainability in the textile industry is driving the demand for natural fibers. Natural fibers are more environmentally friendly than synthetic fibers because less energy and water are required to produce them. Organic cotton, grown without the use of toxic pesticides, fertilizers, or GMOs (all of which have been shown to harm the environment, farmers, and producers), is a healthier, greener alternative to non-organic textile materials. Farmers of organic crops also follow practices designed to keep soil healthy, conserve water, and support biodiversity. Organic cotton is also healthier for consumers. Exposure to pesticides can lead to a range of health problems such as headaches, nausea, long-term chronic diseases, and endocrine disturbances. Growing consumer awareness about the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals has encouraged manufacturers to use natural substances to increase the appeal of their products.

The textile industry employs millions of people worldwide. Most toil in unsafe conditions for little pay. The improvement in moral level makes consumers tend to choose manufacturers who produce products honestly and carefully. Fairtrade, fair labor, or products made in countries with strict labor laws protect workers' rights. Consumers are willing to pay honest prices to pay ethical wages. Many sustainable clothing brands that use natural fibers are also committed to higher ethical and environmental standards. Examples include GOTS, Fair Trade, or B Corporation certification. The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is one of the most respected standards. They ensure fibers are grown organically, non-GMO, and that the industry produces garments with the lowest possible impact on the planet and people. Consequently, demand for natural fibers such as cotton, wool, silk, hemp, and jute is steadily increasing as consumers become more ethical and environmentally conscious.
