Sustainability Drive & Climate Resilience Propel Linen Demand to New Heights
The global linen market is experiencing a significant surge, driven by the accelerating consumer and corporate shift towards sustainable materials.
Industry reports project the linen fabric sector to grow at a robust CAGR of over 5.5% through 2028. Beyond its low water footprint and biodegradability, linen's inherent properties are now highly valued for their climate adaptability.
"In a warming world, linen's natural temperature regulation and durability are not just preferences but practical necessities," comments a sourcing director at a major European fashion house. This trend is moving beyond high fashion into mainstream apparel, home textiles, and contract furnishings, with brands increasingly highlighting linen's natural origin and end-of-life cycle as key selling points.
