In the recent past, major problems that have challenged the development of pulp and paper industry include contamination of environment, shortage of resources and level of the technical equipment. One of the key factor is shortage of raw material resources, which is primarily due to contradiction between structure of raw material and the fiber resources.
Thus, non-wood fiber possess a variety of excellent properties in both optical and physical aspects that can be utilized to improve their products. Currently, non-wood fiber accounts for only a small share of raw material for paper and paperboard, however it is expected to grow in coming years.
Demand for the paper has witness continuous growth in the past 5 decades, however in the coming year growth will be reduced because the existing wood resources may be inadequate to meet this demand for paper primarily in APAC and European region.
Moreover, increasing environmental concerns pertaining to habitat destruction and other longer term impacts of forest harvesting. It is necessary to utilize alternative fiber sources such as non-wood fiber, which are available in significant quantity and also one of the major source of fiber for papermaking across the developing economies.
Demand for the non-wood fiber for papermaking is expected to witness continuous growth in the developed economies such as North America and Europe, due to the various environmental concerns such as disposal of agricultural residues and depleting forest resources.
Further, non-wood fiber possess various advantages as compared to that of wood fiber such as they consume less water and fertilizers, they can reduce deforestation and also reduce emission of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide that arises from burning of waste agricultural residues
Utilization of non-wood fiber possess various advantages over its counterparts, however they have various problems pertaining to their collection & transportation, handling and storage, bleaching, washing and chemical recovery, etc.
Moreover, availability of constant supply of fiber is one of the primary concern for the paper mills. The aforementioned reasons are expected to act as a restraining factor for the global non-wood fiber market.
Increasing preference of bamboo as non-wood fiber material for the production of pulp and paperboard is found to be one of the key trends in the global non-wood fiber marketplace. Bamboo has emerged as one of the important raw material for papermaking in order to mitigate the shortage of wood resources primarily in the East Asia region.

Considering regions, globally the non-wood fiber market is found to be led by Asia-Pacific region and is expected to continue its dominance in the market throughout the forecast years. Continuous rise in population and economic expansion across the China and India has led to an increased demand for quality value-added products such as paperboard and paper, etc.
In order to meet this demand, Pulp and Paper industry across these countries has expanded greatly during the past few decades. Asia-Pacific regions is expected to be followed by European countries in the global non-wood fiber over the coming years.
North America, spearheaded by U.S. is anticipated to witness moderate growth rate over the coming years in global non-wood fiber market. Middle East & Africa and Latin America region are anticipated to account for small share in the overall consumption of non-wood fiber owing to the very low production of pulp and paper across the region
