24/7 Market News - Kraig Labs Working to Make Spider Silk a Once-in-a-Generation Technological Breakthrough

DENVER, Oct. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- All the buzz around technology today is centered on Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Digital Currency ($BTC), and the rare earth minerals used to build them. However, these innovations, as impressive as they are, represent just the continued story arc of the Internet of Things’ drive to connect and digitize everything on the planet.

While these technologies will undoubtedly open new frontiers, nothing in materials science is more exciting than the upcoming commercialization of spider silk, and the groundbreaking advancements made by Kraig Biocraft Laboratories (OTCQB: KBLB) to bring this super fiber to market.

Who would have believed, back when we were watching Spider-Man as kids, that one day real scientists would use CRISPR-like gene editing to transfer spider DNA into silkworms creating transgenic silkworms capable of producing authentic spider silk?

By implanting key spider DNA sequences into the silkworm genome, Kraig Labs has turned one of nature’s most efficient fiber producers into a biological factory for a biodegradable super fiber five times tougher than steel by weight, way more flexible than Kevlar, and fully sustainable.

Not since Kevlar revolutionized materials science in the 1970s has a true “super fiber” shown the potential to reach global commercial scale until now. Kraig’s spider silk stands at a similar place, as it looks to enter the market. It’s also natural, renewable, and biodegradable. It merges the strength and elasticity of spider silk with the scalability of silkworm production, now measured in metric tons.

Kraig has already announced pending commercial sales orders, which it is actively working to fulfill. Production is underway using its proprietary BAM-1 hybrids as the company continues expanding operations. Recent press releases confirmed that Kraig has been preparing an order from an elite European luxury fashion house. Kraig also continues discussions with both a top-tier performance sportswear brand and a leading athletic equipment manufacturer, signaling broad interest across industries.

With two operational rearing facilities in Southeast Asia and a third location now being finalized, Kraig Labs continues to expand its global footprint to meet rising demand. Each site is designed for continuous rearing cycles, ensuring scalability, redundancy, and consistent material output.

Now, in the fourth quarter, investors are watching closely as the company moves to complete these initial orders, a milestone that would mark what we believe to be the first commercial scale sale of quality mass produced spider silk in human history.
