Major challenges hindering market growth

• Rising demand for synthetic or manmade fibers is challenging market growth.

• Most natural fibers are expensive, especially in their pure forms.
• Hence, synthetic fibers are low-cost alternatives to natural products.
• These factors will challenge the growth of the market during the forecast period.
