As of recent estimates, the state produces around 8,000 to 10,000 metric tons of raw silk annually, primarily from sericulture practices. The districts of Mysuru, Channarayapatna, and Tumakuru are particularly known for their silk production. Karnataka's rich tradition of silk weaving, especially in the form of Mysore silk sarees, further highlights its importance in the silk industry.

In India, wild silk is primarily found in forested regions, particularly in the northeastern states such as Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh. The Muga and Eri silks, which are types of wild silk, are produced by indigenous silk moths native to these areas. Additionally, wild silk can also be sourced from parts of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, where the natural habitat supports silk moth populations. These regions are known for their traditional silk weaving practices and biodiversity.
