The global market for hemp fiber is expected to reach $30.13 billion by
2033, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.12% from 2025-2033,
according to an analysis by Astute Analytica.

Based on global hemp data from 2021-2024, the report anticipates the
convergence of several key factors to spur the market, including growing
“industrial demand for sustainable composites” and technological
breakthroughs in hemp processing. Specifically, the authors highlight
growing interest from the automotive and construction sectors for
“lightweight, bio-based composite materials” and an abundance of funding
for the research and development of new hemp fiber processing techniques as
driving factors for the ballooning industry.

The report highlights significant hemp fiber market expansions across North
America, Europe, and Asia, and notes that as of 2024, more than 60
countries have started hemp fiber production. The global hemp market saw
approximately 200,000 tons of fiber production in 2021, the report said.

While the U.S. hemp market experienced “significant transformations” in
2024, including significant production increases despite “dramatic price
corrections” for hemp fiber crops, China remains the world’s largest hemp
fiber producer with an output of 73,000 metric tons in 2024, which is
expected to surge to 117,000 metric tons in 2025.

Meanwhile, in Europe, France “[maintained] its position as the continental
powerhouse,” but according to the report, the Netherlands has also emerged
as a “rapidly growing player in the European hemp fiber market” with a
year-over-year growth in hemp production of nearly 74% from 2023 to 2024.

In Hollywood, sequels are often expected to disappoint - lower box office take, watered-down magic, the usual law of diminishing returns. When it comes to cannabis cultivation, however, the opposite is more frequently the case. With the first batch we reviewed of Fade Co's Matanuska Thunder Fuck we found it was perfectly respectable, but it carried this quiet sense the strain had more to give. Then this second run arrived and, we must say, the follow-up is markedly superior.

Mountain High’s signature 12-ounce can has always been a study in restraint—clean lines, understated typography, and a palette that whispers “premium” rather than shouts “party.” Blackberry Lime inherits the same elegant minimalism: no garish graphics, no cartoon fruit explosions, just a sleek vessel that looks equally at home on a craft-beer shelf or a minimalist countertop.
