The global alpaca fiber market is anticipated to grow at a lucrative CAGR of ~5% during the forecast period from 2020 to 2030.

The global alpaca fiber market is experiencing tremendous growth owing to the growing demand for several types of fashion accessories made up of alpaca fiber. Alpaca is warm, soft & very comfortable clothing. In the textile industry, Alpaca fiber is witnessing lucrative demand for wool as a natural fiber that provides more warmth and is less scratchy as compared to other materials. With the upsurge of providing highly sustainable & environmentally friendly clothing & accessories, the alpaca fiber market is witnessing rapid growth, especially for hot and soft alpaca fiber.

While the demand for alpaca fiber is expanding at an incredible rate of growth, market players plan to manufacture even better-quality alpaca fiber to attract more customers. The global alpaca companies are focusing on providing nutritious feed to alpacas as high genetic merits lead to the development of superior quality of alpaca fiber. Nutrition has a substantial impact on alpaca's reproductive ability & wellbeing and thus helps to obtain superior quality alpaca fiber. Considering the impact of nutrition on the quality of alpaca, major alpaca fiber manufacturers are investing heavily in alpaca nutrition to provide the finest alpaca fiber quality & gain a competitive edge on the alpaca fiber market.

Over the forecast period, it is anticipated that there will be an increase in consumer awareness of the product benefits. Also, the growing number of alpaca fiber fashion stores across the globe are anticipated to make accessibility of these products easier, thus contributing to the growth of the alpaca fiber market. However, the high cost associated with alpaca fiber clothing is anticipated to restrain market growth in the developing economies.
