Industrial Hemp Market Trends:
Industrial hemp is a versatile and eco-friendly alternative for manufacturing lightweight and dent-resistant automobile bodies. This, along with the increasing need for reducing carbon footprint and the burgeoning automotive industry, represents one of the key factors strengthening the growth of the market. Apart from this, industrial hemp assists in weeding fields, soil remediation, and bio-absorption of heavy metals and contaminants. As a result, it is widely employed in the agriculture sector of countries that have permitted its usage under license. Moreover, as the fiber of industrial hemp is longer, stronger, more absorbent than cotton, hemp fabrics and textiles are gaining popularity gradually in numerous countries. Hemp fabrics are utilized in the manufacturing of yarns and spun fibers, home furnishings, insulation materials, and composites. This, in confluence with the rising adoption of industrial hemp for the production of oil paints, printing inks, fuel, putty, chain-saw lubricants, and coatings, is also contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, the liberalization in government regulations for the production of industrial hemp is offering lucrative growth opportunities to the key market players. Besides this, the rising consumption of hemp-based products on account of their health benefits and the escalating incidences of epilepsy and other sleep disorders is anticipated to impel the market growth.
