Research and investigation regarding use of bamboo fiber for the well-being of human beings is limited because of limited availability and tough extraction pro­cess. The techniques used for bamboo fiber extraction nowadays give low fiber yield or low quality fiber. Studies are further required for improving the extraction, prepa­ration, and processing techniques for bamboo fiber. Bamboo fiber is a potent fiber to be used for many applications. It is an outstanding biodegradable textile material, which does not absorb ultraviolet and infrared rays. For commercializing bamboo based products much research and knowledge is required so that the world may get benefit from an inexpensive source of fibers.

Super strong and durable bamboo is being used presently for flooring and panel­ing. Its stability, hardness, flexibility, and strength are its most remarkable qualities. Bamboo has a bright future as an alternate to wood for formation of furniture and construction material. Bamboo fiber can also serve as an alternate to cement and concrete in near future. As bamboo is easily pulped, it can be used efficiently for paper production and may benefit us with less cost and high availability. Textile industry is expected to get huge advantages from bamboo fibers in near future, as bamboo is lightweight, environmental friendly, and bacteriostatic. Also it is antial­lergenic and soft like silk which makes it best suited for its use in textile industry.
