24/7 Market News- Kraig Labs Unlocks Spider Silk at Scale, Solving a Centuries-Old Problem of Nature’s Strongest Fiber
DENVER, Oct. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 247marketnews.com, a pioneer in digital media dedicated to the swift distribution of financial market news and information, reports that Kraig Biocraft Laboratories (OTCQB: KBLB), the undisputed global leader in the development and commercialization of spider silk, achieved a milestone in biotechnology: the successful mass production of spider silk using silkworms, solving a challenge that has eluded scientists and engineers for decades.
For years, researchers have known that spider silk is one of the toughest fibers known to man, but it has many other highly beneficial properties, like biocompatibility and biodegradability; a near-miraculous combination of properties. Yet despite decades of interest from the military, biomedical researchers, and textile designers, spider silk remained mostly out of reach.
Why? Spiders can’t be farmed. They’re territorial, solitary, and cannibalistic, making industrial spider silk production impossible through traditional farming.
Kraig Labs Changed That
Through advanced genetic engineering, the company’s proprietary silkworms now produce spider silk proteins as they spin, creating a scalable, cost-effective, and sustainable platform for spider silk production, using the same basic infrastructure as traditional silk.
This breakthrough turns a biological curiosity into a functional supply chain. Kraig’s genetically engineered silkworms are the factory. This means spider silk can finally move from the lab into the real world and opening it up to the world’s builders, scientists, and creators.
With improved performance, increasing yields, and commercial-scale facilities online, Kraig Labs is now positioned to make spider silk accessible to researchers and developers across industries:
- Inventors creating stronger, lighter wearables or materials
- Biomedical engineers prototyping biodegradable sutures and scaffolds
- Defense contractors designing next-generation body armor
- Outdoor brands seeking sustainable, high-performance textiles
- Robotics teams developing biomimetic actuators or tethers
The Global Spider Silk Market
While still in its early stages of commercialization, the global spider silk market is projected to grow significantly over the coming years due to spider silk’s unique mechanical properties, lightweight, incredibly tough, biodegradable, and biocompatible. According to recent market research, the spider silk market is forecast to reach $1.3–$1.5 billion by 2035, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 30%. This surge is projected to be driven by demand across sectors like biomedical (sutures, scaffolds, and implants), textiles, military applications, and sustainable materials for aerospace and automotive industries.
Unlike synthetic polymers or traditional silks, spider silk is prized for its unmatched tensile strength-to-weight ratio, outperforming Kevlar and steel on several metrics. However, real spiders can’t be farmed effectively, which is why Kraig Labs turned to a clever bioengineered commercially viable biomaterial platform with wide-ranging industrial applications.
