Coco coir, also known as coconut fiber, is extracted from the outer shell of the coconut, which is a coarse natural fiber, rigid and flexible natural thread that is extracted manually or by machine from the outer shell of the coconut. White fibers and brown fibers are two common types of coconut fibers derived from aged coconut shells. Coir is stronger because it has the highest concentration of lignin, but it is less flexible than cotton and is not suitable for dyeing. White fiber and brown fiber are two common types of coconut fiber that are derived from aged coconut shells. Coco coir is considered an environmentally friendly product suitable for hydroponics and horticulture because it absorbs water. Coco coir products are widely applied due to their advanced properties, such as high absorbency, high durability, and ability to control soil erosion. Coco coir is traditionally used for twine, coir string, brushes, brooms, rugs, doormats, and others. Coir is further modified with various types of products, such as coir pith, coir fiber, coir rope, coir pith blocks, coir yarn, bales, etc., encouraging more industries to use Coco coir products. With the expansion of the interior decoration industry, the demand for eco-friendly products with light characteristics is increasing rapidly, and the Coco coir market is growing.

MARKET DRIVERS

The growing demand for coco coir in the agricultural industry, the geotextile industry and the consumer's propensity for green products are primarily driving the coco coir market growth.

With the rise of the upholstery industry and the rising need demand for eco-friendly products with lightweight properties, the market for Coco coir is growing. Coco coir is considered an environmentally friendly product, and because it absorbs water, it is suitable for hydroponics and horticulture. Consumers' propensity for organic products is playing an important role in the growth of the Coco coir market. In addition, coconut shells improve the drainage of agricultural beds. The main by-product of coconut is the coconut shell from which the Coco coir is extracted. This extraction process produces large amounts of coagulate dust or collateral pieces that have gained considerable traction in the Coco coir market due to its use as a growing medium in horticulture. Therefore, the coir pith is composted to reduce the ratio of carbon and nitrogen, reduce the content of lignin and cellulose, and increase the value of the manor. Coco coir compost reduces bulk and converts plant nutrients into usable forms. Therefore, there is a growing demand for Coco coir in horticultural agriculture. In addition, the high water content and the many benefits that the use of Coco coir in agriculture offers, such as a balanced carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, have driven demand, which has fuelled the growth of the global Coco coir market. Most vegetables grow best in neutral conditions, and the Coco coir is naturally neutral, so no additional additives are required to equalize acidity. Environmental awareness has increased around the world in recent years. In addition, government initiatives that promote horticultural-based fruit and vegetable agriculture and increase environmental awareness will drive the worldwide growth of the coco coir market. In particular, as customers' awareness of Coco coir warming and climate change has increased, they have become more cautious in purchasing the features of the products they buy.

The clean production of coconut products is a relatively new preventive environmental strategy, helping to increase the resource efficiency of processes, products, and services and reduce risks to people and the environment. Along with the expansion of the interior decoration industry, the increased demand for environmentally friendly products with lightweight properties is a key factor driving the growth of the global Coco coir market size. In addition, demand has increased due to a number of benefits offered by the use of Coco coir in agriculture, such as high moisture content and a balanced ratio of carbon to nitrogen, which has strengthened the Coco coir business worldwide. The Coco coir market has seen remarkable growth in recent years, and it is analyzed that the market will grow in a similar manner during the outlook period. The Coco coir market looks promising during the foreseen period due to key factors such as rising fuel prices, increasing demand for electric vehicles, the entry of Coco coir automakers into emerging markets, and government initiatives. The growing demand for green products and the light weight of the core are driving the growth of the Coco coir industry. Since it is a material that is found in nature, it is completely renewable and is therefore considered an excellent option for environmental sustainability. The growth of the end-user industry and the by-products obtained from the core are driving the growth of the global Coco coir market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The use of synthetic-based products is a major factor slowing the growth of the worldwide Coco coir market.
