Abstract As global paper demand surges, conventional wood pulp methods raise deforestation concerns. This study explores the potential of sugar palm (SP) ( Arenga pinnata ) fibers, particularly in Malaysia, as a sustainable alternative for papermaking. SP, known for its versatility in food products and biofiber production, offers an eco‐friendly option. It is also used for bioethanol, providing renewable energy sources. The research highlights SP biofibers as viable raw materials for the pulp and paper industry, emphasizing their seawater resistance, durability, and natural availability in woven forms. Its fibers exhibit seawater resistance, durability, and natural woven availability, with cellulose content of 45–60%, hemicellulose of 10–17%, and lignin of 16–30%, indicating strong suitability for papermaking. Comprehensive evaluation of SP properties, treatment approaches, and pulping processes demonstrates its role as a viable non‐wood source, especially for forest‐deficient regions. Beyond technical aspects, the study emphasizes environmental benefits, highlighting how SP utilization could reduce reliance on wood, mitigate deforestation, and foster sustainable industrial practices. This review bridges academic research on SP biomass with industrial applications, outlining current challenges, opportunities, and future directions for integrating non‐wood fibers into industrial papermaking.
