According to the latest 2026 Global Raffia-Based Products Market Report released by Global Info Research, the global raffia products market continued its expansion in 2025, with synthetic raffia (e.g., polypropylene-based materials) demonstrating particularly strong growth in gift packaging and handicraft applications.
Raffia yarns and twines, packaging materials, and decorative craft products remain the three primary application segments. In the gift packaging sector in particular, biodegradable and recyclable raffia paper shreds are increasingly replacing traditional plastic fillers, driven by global plastic restrictions and rising environmental awareness.
According to QYResearch, China’s raffia products market is expected to show steady revenue growth, reaching approximately USD 48.16 million by 2032, representing a CAGR of 3.8% from 2026 to 2032. Analysts note that the Asia-Pacific region will continue to lead global market growth, driven by sustained demand for eco-friendly packaging and handicraft materials in China, Japan, and India.
