<b><u>Abstract</u></b>: Fragmentation functions (FFs) are essential non-perturbative QCD inputs for predicting hadron production cross sections in high-energy scatterings. In this talk, we present a new framework on global analysis of collinear FFs of light
hadrons, incorporating especially recent calculations and measurements on hadron production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We show various applications of the resulting FFs (NPC23), including a test of momentum-sum rule, predictions on jet charges in
proton-proton collisions, and predictions on reference cross sections of hadron production in heavy-ion collisions. Future development of the NPC FFs will also be discussed briefly. </div>
