[196 Pages Report] The Coir Market size was estimated at USD 570.70 million in 2023 and expected to reach USD 646.93 million in 2024, at a CAGR 13.79% to reach USD 1,410.35 million by 2030.

Coir is a natural fiber extracted from the husk of coconuts, widely known for its durability, water absorption, and resistance against saltwater. It finds extensive application in floor mats, doormats, brushes, mattresses, and ropes. As consumers increasingly prioritize environmentally conscious choices, coir, derived from coconut husks, gains popularity due to its biodegradability and renewable nature. Additionally, the expansion of the horticulture and agriculture sectors contributes to the demand for coir products, given their applications in soil erosion control, mulching, and as a growing medium. However, the market faces restraints such as fluctuations in the supply of raw materials, as coir production is intricately linked to coconut cultivation. Economic factors impacting coconut-producing regions and potential shortages may hinder the consistent supply of coir. Furthermore, innovations in coir processing technologies can lead to the development of value-added products that can be used in applications beyond traditional uses.

Processing: Significantly utilization of white bristle and brown fibers due to their durability and water-resistant properties

Bristle coir is one of the two main types of coir obtained from coconut husk. Characterized by its long, stiff, and strong fibers, it is often used to produce brushes, brooms, and matting. Due to its durable nature, it’s preferred in products requiring high strength and water resistance. Brown fiber is extracted from mature coconuts and is known for its thick, highly resilient characteristics. It is commonly used in upholstery padding, sacking, and horticulture. Brown fiber is the middle ground in terms of durability compared to white and bristle fibers, and it has a moderate water retention capacity making it ideal for soil enrichment purposes.

Buffering refers to washing and neutralizing coir to remove salts and balance the pH level, making it suitable for agricultural and horticultural use. Buffered coir is preferred for plant growth mediums due to its improved water retention and neutral pH. White fiber is finer and more flexible than brown fiber and is primarily used in producing fishing nets, rope, and yarn. It’s preferred for its softness, which does not serve well for applications that require coir with high abrasion resistance.

Product: Growing demand for coir yarn and curled coir from the geotextiles and upholstery industry

Coir Fibre, extracted from the husk of coconuts, is a natural and biodegradable material commonly used in various applications, including ropes, mats, brushes, and mattresses. The need for coir fiber is prevalent in eco-friendly product manufacturing and horticulture industries due to its durability, water absorption properties, and resistance to microbial degradation.

Coir Pith is made from coconut husks and is used extensively as a growing medium in horticulture, soil conditioning, and as a hydroponic growth substrate. It is preferred for its high water retention capacity and aeration properties, providing an ideal environment for plant roots. Coir plyboards are an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plywood, made from coir and bound by synthetic resins. These boards are favored for their resistance to water, termites, and decay, making them a sustainable choice in construction and furniture. Coir Yarn is spun from coir fibers and is widely used in producing geotextiles, mats, and ropes. The demand for coir yarn is catered mainly to industries focusing on soil erosion prevention and sustainable textile solutions. Curled Coir is manufactured by twisting Coir Fibre into curls, which gives it elasticity and strength, and is used primarily in upholstery and bedding.

Application: Evolving application of coir products in agriculture and insulation

The application of coir in agriculture primarily revolves around its use as a soil amendment and growing medium. Coir improves soil texture, water retention, and aeration. It is an eco-friendly alternative to peat moss with similar characteristics. In erosion control, coir produces coir geotextiles, which are biodegradable mats implemented to prevent soil erosion in slopes, riverbanks, and roadways. Coir erosion control products are durable and support soil until vegetation takes root.

Coir’s application in insulation leverages its low thermal conductivity and sound-absorbing properties. It is used in panels for thermal insulation and soundproofing in buildings. A preference for sustainable and natural materials drives the demand in this segment. Coir matting is highly appreciated for its durability, moisture-absorbing capacity, and resistance to mold and mildew. It’s commonly used for entrance mats, doormats, and floor coverings. Commercial and residential buildings benefit from coir mats’ functionality and eco-friendly attributes. Coir netting finds application in areas similar to erosion control, such as slope stabilization and landscaping. Additionally, it’s used in construction sites and vineyards and for creating eco-friendly fencing. Coir netting’s strength and longevity and its natural decay rate that corresponds with plant growth cycles make it an ideal choice. Coir in upholstery is mainly found in coir mattresses and cushions, capitalizing on its breathable nature and firm support.
