The global Natural Fiber Sewing Thread market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1046 million in 2025 to US$ 1148 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.6% from 2025 to 2031.
Natural fiber sewing thread is made from organic materials such as cotton, linen, silk, and wool. These threads are valued for their eco-friendliness, softness, and unique aesthetic qualities. Each type of natural fiber carries distinct characteristics, catering to a variety of sewing applications. For example, cotton thread is widely used due to its versatility, ease of dyeing, and smooth texture, making it ideal for quilting, garment construction, and crafting. Linen thread, derived from the flax plant, is stronger and has a natural luster, making it excellent for high-quality sewing applications and embroidery.
Silk thread, celebrated for its luxurious feel and sheen, is often used in high-end garments and delicate stitching, as well as in embroidery work. Wool thread, known for its warmth and elasticity, is suitable for knitting and sewing winter apparel. Natural fiber threads are biodegradable, making them a more sustainable choice compared to synthetic alternatives. They also offer breathability, which is essential for clothing made from natural materials.
Natural fiber sewing threads are available in a range of thicknesses, from fine to heavy-duty, allowing for diverse sewing techniques. They come in multiple colors, although they might have more muted tones compared to synthetic threads due to the dyeing process of natural fibers. Users appreciate natural fiber threads not only for their functional properties but also for the authenticity and craftsmanship they bring to handmade items. Overall, natural fiber sewing threads occupy an essential space in both professional and amateur sewing, aligning with a growing interest in sustainable practices in the fashion and textile industries.
