Sorona and WGSN Publish 2027 Bio‑Based Textile Trend Forecast
Sorona®, the partially bio‑based polymer produced by Covation Biomaterials, and global trend‑forecasting firm WGSN released a report outlining material trends that will shape the textile industry through 2027. The report projects the worldwide bio‑based materials market to reach USD 285.3 billion by 2029, growing at a 14.5% compound annual growth rate, and notes a sharp rise in consumer interest for natural fibers – wool‑base‑layer searches up 61% and cotton‑legging searches up 21% year‑over‑year.
Three overarching trends are highlighted: “New Nature,” which focuses on circular, bio‑based and hybrid fiber blends; “Climate Flex,” addressing demand for temperature‑regulating, performance‑ready fabrics; and “Sensory Empowerment,” catering to skin‑safe, tactile and wellness‑forward textiles. Sorona® – a 37% bio‑based polymer – provides stretch recovery, wrinkle resistance, breathability, durability and comfort, and can be blended with natural or cellulosic fibers to overcome performance limits while preserving texture. Covation Biomaterials, founded in 2022 in Newark, Delaware, promotes the material through its Common Thread Fabric Certification Program and a network of mills, brands and designers.
