Abstract: Industry 5.0 is a fifth industrial revolution in which enabling technologies center human wellbeing, sustainability and supply chain resilience in industrial settings. This paper explores the linkages between Industry 5.0 and the mainstreaming of bamboo in industry, particularly in construction. It represents the first attempt to integrate bamboo into Industry 5.0 discourse. Literature of the two concepts is summarized, and a list of Industry 5.0 components is obtained from literature. Then, interviews with expert informants from bamboo-producing countries identify key strengths, weaknesses, challenges and opportunities of bamboo industrialization. Using a frequency-based weighting to rank and weigh these elements, Industry 5.0 components are ranked using the Weighted Sum Model. Our analysis and review found many opportunities for synergy with human-centricity, resilience and sustainability; the key Industry 5.0 pillars. Bamboo is an environmentally friendly material with many applications that already contributes to pro-poor, human-centric livelihoods in many vulnerable communities. However, many applications of bamboo in modern industry are currently limited to research or demonstration, and the global bamboo industry remains at a low level of commercialization and is yet to capitalize on Industry 4.0 advances. Significant investment and efforts are need to realize the potential of bamboo to enhance and be enhanced by the Industry 5.0 transition. Further research can build on this preliminary analysis and create feasible pathways for bamboo integration into Industry 5.0. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
