Silk Market Trends

The emergence of technological advancements in sericulture is expected to drive market growth.

Sericulture has experienced a significant transition as a result of newer technologies that could have an impact on the many features of silkworms emerging from the field of biotechnology. A variety of challenges in silkworms are being addressed by the use of technologies like gene therapy, gene editing, nano-biotechnology, transgenic technology, etc. These challenges include producing transgenic silkworms with increased cocoon quality and quantity, using silk as a biomaterial in the medical and pharmaceutical industry, etc. Silk is a fantastic biomaterial for a wide range of technological and medical applications because of its special qualities, including strength, elasticity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and mechanical robustness related numerous biomedical uses.

Scientists have developed thin silk by introducing a gene for an acidic peptide into a silkworm. This silk is thinner than the original silk. High-yielding silkworm hybrids were developed using the DNA marker technology and then released to farmers of many places like Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu in India. Transgenic B. mori was produced by RNA interference (RNAi) for viral resistance against nucleopolyhydra virus BmNPV. These advancements were made at the genetic level by modifying the moth itself. Technologies like smart sensors, image processing, and Arduino-aided Internet of Things (IoT) that provide real-time data to sericulture practitioners are all being employed more frequently throughout the production monitoring phase. The innovation has emerged as a technological remedy for the issues in sericulture, in addition to being affordable, simple to use, and easy to maintain.

Genetic modifications have been in the mulberry plant for abiotic stress and higher yields. Moreover, the characterization of anti-bacterial proteins in silkworms has led to the discovery of unique insect-specific lysozyme. The development of bio-control agents against root rot, root-knot, and nursery diseases of mulberry plant and bed disinfectants against various silkworm diseases coupled with the development of integrated pest management measures against various pests of mulberry and silkworms for better yield is likely to increase the demand for silk during the assessment period. Hence, emerging adoption of technological advancements in sericulture is expected to boost market growth
