The Asia Pacific is the highest category spender by region that is driving the demand for the Merino Wool industry.

Industry Definition and Segmentation

Merino wool is a popular fabric material derived from Merino sheep and is both affordable and durable. Like all varieties of wool, Merino wool is very absorbent, water-resistant, and insulative. It can absorb bacteria's odour, neutralising it and preventing it from accumulating. The Merino Wool industry report comprises segments by Type (Worsted, Woollen), Weave (Plain Weave (Tropical Wool, High-twist Wool, Hopsack), Twill (Serge, Worsted Flannel, Prunelle, Herringbone, Cavalry Twill, Others), Application (Woven, Knits), End-Use (Apparel, Innerwear, Socks, Home Textile, Other Accessories) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, and South America).

The Asia Pacific Regions are Driving the Growth of the Industry

The Asia Pacific region holds the largest share in the industry as China is one of the significant wool producers. In addition, the region's economic development is further boosting the market's development.

The industry is propelled by the growing demand for wool from wool-consuming countries. Australia and China are regions with the highest production of wool. The rise of the wool sector has been aided by economic growth in nations such as China, Germany, Japan, France, Italy, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Korea. As a result, the market is expanding. Furthermore, despite the entrance of alternative natural fibres to the efficiency and sustainability sectors, such as cotton and silk, the anti-odour properties of merino wool are boosting the market's development. The properties of the wool-like great quality, durability, and warmth are gaining traction among consumers, further propelling the industry. Consumers widely sought it because of its superior quality, sustainability, and comfort.

Best Procurement Practices

The global Merino Wool industry report by Procurement Resource gives an in-depth analysis of the best buying practices followed by major global Merino Wool regions across the globe, such as engagement models, contract terms, and buyer and supplier negotiation levers, among others.

Category Management Studies

Merino sheep wool is sometimes referred to be "greasy" because it retains the oils from the sheep's skin. After that, the oily wool is cleaned, graded, and carded into long, thin threads. Now that the strings have been carded, they may be spun. Different grades of merino wool are turned separately and then placed onto reels to be woven. If a merino fabric only has one colour, it may be dyed after the yarn has been woven or knit into the fabric.

Growing Expansion of the Garment Industry, Further Driving the Merino Wool Market

The market is being aided by the garment business, particularly the wool sector. In addition, the growing popularity of online shopping among customers, owing to factors like increased internet penetration, the availability of a large variety at reasonable costs, and convenience, is furthering the industry's expansion. As the wool and textile industries' sustainability has resulted in many rapid fashion garments ending up in landfills owing to their short lifespans, customers are shifting towards merino wool. The increased expertise across industries also presents a huge market potential for major companies. Other factors such as growing population, rise in disposable incomes, economic developments, and higher spending power are likely to impact the market positively.

The regional markets for the industry can be divided into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific.
