Composites have been used from very long time for solving technological problems with use of natural fibers due to their unique, superior properties and light weight. Natural fibers are now a common material used and has created an impact in terms of product performance and their light weight. Natural fibers have created an enthusiasm and use of them has been increased to take over the place of synthetic fibers in different fields. Jute fiber is assuring reinforcement in composite. Juteone of the natural fiber, is most promising and is readily available, degradable and possesses good mechanical properties. This review is to provide a focus on jute fiber and its use different sectors such as construction sector, automobile sector, textile sector, etc. In addition to this, it also gives basic idea of natural fibers and their reinforced composite. This review provides an overview of importance of the factors to be considered when designing the composites which affects the mechanical properties. © 2021 Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Switzerland.
