Bamboo has emerged as a sustainable and high-performance reinforcement material in composite structures due to its exceptional mechanical properties, rapid renewability, and environmental benefits. Despite increasing use, several challenges—including inconsistent fiber-matrix adhesion, moisture sensitivity, and lack of performance standardization—still limit its full-scale adoption. This article addresses these knowledge gaps by reviewing recent advances in bamboo fiber-reinforced composites (BFRCs), with emphasis on their applications in construction, automotive, aerospace, and biomedical engineering. The advantages of bamboo over synthetic fibers (e.g., glass/carbon fibers) include high specific strength (350 MPa), low density (0.8–1.4 g/cm³), biodegradability, and carbon sequestration potential. Critical processing techniques—such as alkali treatment, compression molding, and 3D printing—are analyzed alongside challenges like fiber-matrix adhesion and moisture absorption. With a growing emphasis on circular economy principles, BFRCs are poised to revolutionize sustainable material design.
