In 2023, the Netherlands led global exports of true hemp fibre (processed but not spun) with a volume of 3.8173 million kilograms, followed by Mauritius and Croatia. The year-on-year variations indicated significant growth in Germany, Canada, and Belgium, with 8.44%, 9.62%, and 8.86% increases, respectively. Contrarily, Spain and Austria experienced declines of 22.92% and 13.76%. Over the past five years, there has been a mixed trend with certain regions demonstrating robust growth, whereas others showed a downturn or stagnation.
Future trends to watch include increasing adoption of sustainable materials which may boost hemp fibre demand. Countries with sluggish growth may invest in improving processing technologies and cultivation practices to revitalize their hemp fibre sectors. The Netherlands' position as the market leader may face challenges as emerging markets gain competitiveness. Monitoring environmental policies and technological advancements will be crucial as they could impact global dynamics in the hemp fibre industry.
