Global market share of MMCFs in 2024 (million tonnes)
With an annual production volume of around 8.4 million tonnes in 2024, manmade cellulosic fibers (MMCFs)- including viscose (rayon), acetate, lyocell, modal, and Global MMCF production has more than doubled since 1990, when annual production was around 3 million tonnes, and is market (80%), with a total production volume of around 6.7 2024, with a production volume of approximately 1.1 million tonnes,1 but is mainly used for non-textile applications.2 Lyocell was the third-most used MMCF type in 2024, after viscose and acetate. It had a market share of around 5% of all MMCFs, with a production volume of around O.4 million market in 2024, with a production volume of around 0.2 million Cupro had a market share of around O.2% of the total MMCF market. There was only one supplier of cupro, which produced Currently, manmade cellulosic fibers are primarily produced from wood. Around 1.1% of the global market is currently made from recycled or other alternative feedstocks. 1 Maia Research,2025.
