Alpaca Fiber Market Share

The North American alpaca fiber market, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to hold the largest market share by the end of 2036. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the significant availability of Alpacas in the region and higher demand for woolen clothing owing to the long-lasting winter. For instance, the presence of about 50,000 alpacas is observed solely in the United States. Additionally, Americans are more inclined toward fashionable pieces of woolen clothing. Since alpaca wool feels soft against the skin, people tend to choose alpaca wool over other types. Based on the data provided by Ag Marketing Resource Center (AGMRC) it was stated that 17 million pounds of greasy shorn wool were produced in the United States in 2020.
